Cypress View Retreat[/center]

Conner pulled into the parking lot of the retreat in his blue car. It took a lot of doing to get to tickets to this thing. His parents wouldn’t pay for it, so of course he had to save up the money for himself. Of course, his parents didn’t know he was here. As far as they were concerned, he was away surfing for the weekend. Naturally they didn’t approve, but Conner knew they would never approve of anything he did or didn’t do. So, he just went, approval be damned.

It would all be worth it in the end. A fun weekend away from his family, and a chance to find out about these new powers he had suddenly been bestowed with. Plus, unlike most of the stuck up snobs in his family, Conner actually enjoyed camping. Especially if they were near a beach. Though, any body of water would do really. Ever since he discovered he could move water with the movement of his hands, Conner had been having dreams about being under the ocean surrounded by seaweed. For a while, he didn’t know what that was about, and all it did was make him want to pee afterwards. It wasn’t untill he heard about this summit, and the whole plant essences thing that he put two and two together. Getting powers from seaweed. It sounded like something you would read about in a comic book!

After parking, he stepped out of his car, and looked around. Besides all the trees, there was definitely a varied assortment of people around. Most of which would probably never be around each other under normal circumstances. As he walked, he saw a blonde woman trip and fall, letting out some electricity out of her hands, and setting a small patch of grass on fire. Conner’s eyes lit up excitedly. A chance to show off what he could do! That chance was quickly over when the woman stomped out the fire herself. Strangely, the area smelled vaguely citrusy... instead of the expected scent of smoke.

[color=00AEEF]”Isn’t it awesome!”[/color] Conner exclaimed as he decided to approach the woman. He would be around these people for the weekend, he may as well try to make some friends from this experience. [color=00AEEF]“It’s like we’re superheroes or something! I’m Conner by the way. Watch this!”[/color] He opened up a water bottle he was carrying, and waved his hand over it causing a small stream of water to flow out. [color=00AEEF]“It’s not much, but I’m hoping I can learn to do cool stuff with this in the future.”[/color] He lowered his arm, and the stream of water went flying, splashing the girl in the face. Conner struggled to hold back giggles. [color=00AEEF]”Oops!”[/color]
