The white marble statue of Her Highness in the butterfly-shaped basin never ceases to amaze me. It's my second time seeing it, but I continue to gaze at it with so much marvel, like I'm looking at it for the first time. A few murmurs up ahead brought my mind back to earth. I bent my head a little to see the six members of the High Order talking amongst themselves in front of the cherry blossom tree at the far end of the room.321Please respect copyright.PENANAYrDw5u8nfF
321Please respect copyright.PENANAj7QeNtpPpP
321Please respect copyright.PENANAvQNP15ASdB
I thought I would never find myself back in the Butterfly Temple. After the exercise that took place in the small library of the castle, Stella sent out a message through Raymond to inform the High Order about what had transpired. She had personally sent a message to Her Highness herself by sending out one of the blue butterflies, which magically disappeared into thin air. Stella and I teleported here, and the others started to come in one by one. We were still waiting on Her Highness.321Please respect copyright.PENANA3EM2oR0ieV
321Please respect copyright.PENANASoSyajbbsf
321Please respect copyright.PENANAIh5d1sI1ZF
I continued to look at the six members of the High Order as they spoke amongst themselves in a circle, careful not to talk too loudly for me to hear. Besides, when they had all arrived, Stella had kindly told me to go stand by the fountain so that they could talk. I wonder what I have done now to get them all riled up. I looked down at my right hand, which was closed into a fist. It looks like I already have my answer.321Please respect copyright.PENANA6dGqyPVTLg
321Please respect copyright.PENANAi3DRgQdskU
321Please respect copyright.PENANAvDsjB0kkuO
The words of my look-alike still run through my mind. What is there to accept? All six elements? I shook my head. I don't think it's about the elements. It felt like she meant it from a deeper perspective.321Please respect copyright.PENANApkltQJuPqQ
321Please respect copyright.PENANAS61AmTcWwx
321Please respect copyright.PENANAXtCWn0rnVn
I sat on the hard bench near the fountain and slowly opened my hand. The two orbs continued to spin around on my palm. Why did I have them? Stella had mentioned them during our lesson. And she looked like she was about to faint when she saw them in my hand. Are they a big deal?321Please respect copyright.PENANAJbvDpc5s9c
321Please respect copyright.PENANATmuPXFNFqP
321Please respect copyright.PENANA5RLBbRdAbm
I turned to look behind me at the High Order, and for a moment, Ryan caught me looking. His blue eyes pierced right through me, and I turned away, regretting that I ever looked. He looked dead serious. Is my situation really a big deal?321Please respect copyright.PENANAyN918usaLf
321Please respect copyright.PENANA3znMyyb27B
321Please respect copyright.PENANA4F3XKEofgz
With a shake of my head, I closed my right hand, stood, and walked past the fountain, approaching the High Order. Mei saw me coming, so she gave a quick gesture to her comrades. They all turned to look at me, and they broke away from their circle.321Please respect copyright.PENANARKqagR01fZ
321Please respect copyright.PENANA1E7zNnPxyI
321Please respect copyright.PENANATGLtMFM6wJ
"I told you to wait by the fountain, Diana," said Stella.321Please respect copyright.PENANAZRL0Tuhfti
321Please respect copyright.PENANAP3Jr6q4j4p
321Please respect copyright.PENANACIOJHntzZb
"Well, I'm tired of waiting," I answered.321Please respect copyright.PENANAFdTXW1sNbr
321Please respect copyright.PENANArjsROaDJ7G
321Please respect copyright.PENANAuKyHV1L0GK
"It's not our fault that Her Highness isn't here yet," said Ryan, raising his eyebrow at me.321Please respect copyright.PENANAf8OWFm3G6t
321Please respect copyright.PENANATsoBhbn3ly
321Please respect copyright.PENANAQvlTdRzsAO
"Is this really a big deal?" I asked, drawing my right hand forward and revealing the orbs.321Please respect copyright.PENANAY0dJyY3wdq
321Please respect copyright.PENANAKO7cUJ2cv6
321Please respect copyright.PENANA9tt3jvnU6W
None of them answered, but I could tell just how uncomfortable and nervous they were upon seeing the two orbs spinning around in my hand.321Please respect copyright.PENANADWv49CKDmN
321Please respect copyright.PENANAe7J7uabaS8
321Please respect copyright.PENANA6cT81CKfSL
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I ask. "Your silence and the way you were talking earlier say there's a lot you're not telling me."321Please respect copyright.PENANAXOHfKbATkd
321Please respect copyright.PENANASsJwhlUDDT
321Please respect copyright.PENANAkSmGS45twq
"I know you need answers," said Camila in her orange robe. "But we can't give them to you just yet."321Please respect copyright.PENANAxLYSYeKxYS
321Please respect copyright.PENANARObsx3QFyo
321Please respect copyright.PENANAeg6ZMpnYVI
"What, you can't tell me anything until Her Highness gets here?" I stop talking, realizing that I'm about to blow a fuse. I take a deep breath. Furthermore, I close my eyes and rub my forehead. This is really getting to me, and I need to calm down.321Please respect copyright.PENANAHnQ463AXOH
321Please respect copyright.PENANA4WHh0upTDC
321Please respect copyright.PENANAJz964M3Emf
"This isn't right," I say when I finally open my eyes. "I hate that you expect me to trust you when you're keeping things from me. Things I don't understand."321Please respect copyright.PENANAoD9o1jwesg
321Please respect copyright.PENANAzt0GxE31Lv
321Please respect copyright.PENANAAT9lhjwdtv
I felt a hand on my shoulder. Ariana had come to stand beside me, and she had a sad smile on her face.321Please respect copyright.PENANAHeb0jDBkcA
321Please respect copyright.PENANAM2DNVpmtut
321Please respect copyright.PENANAVaYf5mMDL5
"Trust me," she said. "There are a lot of things that we also want to tell you, but we can't just give them to you at once. There's a lot about you that we also need to understand."321Please respect copyright.PENANASkXoZpYOTZ
321Please respect copyright.PENANAPepV9AknRN
321Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ5HdUgDj7
"What is it about me that you need to understand? I can't be that complicated, can I?"321Please respect copyright.PENANA2rbGf1Plfw
321Please respect copyright.PENANAos9lbVrezp
321Please respect copyright.PENANATOQdIC03Fa
I looked at every member of the High Order, and there was a dead silence that fell upon them. In an instant, I started to shake my head. They can't be serious, can they?321Please respect copyright.PENANATXm24d5JFq
321Please respect copyright.PENANAKP8S0kRIqw
321Please respect copyright.PENANA9vPUTYzI6F
"Okay, enough of the silence," I said. "I want the whole truth and nothing but the truth. No more waiting for Her Highness. She can find us amidst our discussion. I want to hear everything you have on me, right now."321Please respect copyright.PENANAiPXxYSeeau
321Please respect copyright.PENANABVb0mR5vLa
321Please respect copyright.PENANAOMaZGrJWEX
The six of them shared looks amongst themselves, still not saying a word. This is getting frustrating. If I knew how to fully control the elements, I would have wreaked havoc on this beautiful Temple.321Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y7EW51LYE
321Please respect copyright.PENANAIhTUt8m5XD
321Please respect copyright.PENANAAIyW95Ssy4
"If you need me, I'll be at school," I said as I turned around and started heading out.321Please respect copyright.PENANAo2GHJU0Ajd
321Please respect copyright.PENANAQUBSC2t3ZG
321Please respect copyright.PENANAv1YlGsZriN
"You're a supernatural being, Diana," came Ryan's voice behind me.321Please respect copyright.PENANAlVt6bzFJus
321Please respect copyright.PENANAaEcbucyW8t
321Please respect copyright.PENANAlQJclNqb2Y
I stopped in my tracks and contemplated what he said. That felt a little obvious after I first discovered that I had abilities unlike any ordinary person, like speed and strength.321Please respect copyright.PENANAZdpxANTQ1S
321Please respect copyright.PENANAg7eJ93Yd0a
321Please respect copyright.PENANA5IOSPZjINI
"For how long?" I asked.321Please respect copyright.PENANA8P4nmT2CqV
321Please respect copyright.PENANAi0rZ7x1VA1
321Please respect copyright.PENANA35VYXhx1BC
There was an eerie feeling behind me, and I knew what I had asked made them feel uncomfortable. I turn around to face them.321Please respect copyright.PENANA4Cgq0UUqxV
321Please respect copyright.PENANA06K6IIxOyj
321Please respect copyright.PENANAz7WcrKv9qb
"Did it happen when I died?" I asked. "And after my encounter with Death, all these abilities just happened to appear."321Please respect copyright.PENANAU6VBCABmqM
321Please respect copyright.PENANAKS6Cw5jivU
321Please respect copyright.PENANAedOiTKN6lg
"We also thought so," said Bob. "But all this supernatural stuff is pretty complicated. Which is why it will be a lot easier if you understand it. It's a possibility that after you woke up after meeting Death, you unlocked those special abilities, as well as those of controlling all six elements."321Please respect copyright.PENANA69R0qzmX49
321Please respect copyright.PENANAMKSXpQbL6u
321Please respect copyright.PENANApHs6U2NSPh
"And what if that isn't the case?" I asked.321Please respect copyright.PENANAKNtgCQHfAP
321Please respect copyright.PENANApFdtd4pnk3
321Please respect copyright.PENANA0nlZqXoBpJ
"Then we will have to find the source of your power," Stella answered.321Please respect copyright.PENANAJOTvjxb97z
321Please respect copyright.PENANARx3dYitEsp
321Please respect copyright.PENANA5J5S4yqM2J
"Source? Isn't the power residing inside me?"321Please respect copyright.PENANAwRVXnNnxZl
321Please respect copyright.PENANAH4iQ309cwq
321Please respect copyright.PENANA8KgCLLLknR
"What she means is," Ryan now cuts in, "unlike you, who were born human, many of us here were born supernatural. But there are some cases where people turn to the supernatural due to different circumstances. Some by accident, and I think you've heard of this before, by evil means like witchcraft."321Please respect copyright.PENANA4DHHFmAoV9
321Please respect copyright.PENANAPeAjWA04zu
321Please respect copyright.PENANAcNPllD3aXG
"So, what you're saying is that there's a possibility that I might have been supernatural before my meeting with Death?"321Please respect copyright.PENANAdcgBQ3KGTE
321Please respect copyright.PENANAzoNVrkLJMN
321Please respect copyright.PENANAxy6NLzm4U4
"What we really mean to say is that it's possible you might actually have been born supernatural," said Mei.321Please respect copyright.PENANAGR9BD4ixIs
321Please respect copyright.PENANALy5WyTdVTg
321Please respect copyright.PENANAfTpWUwNO1Y
I swallowed. That can't be possible, right? No one in my family has weird perks like strength or the ability to produce any element out of nowhere. My life was all but normal before I supposedly died.321Please respect copyright.PENANAmISBCpWqh0
321Please respect copyright.PENANArjgWgW99Gy
321Please respect copyright.PENANAEtojAqxyRm
"Is that possible?" I asked. "No one in my family, as far as I know, is supernatural."321Please respect copyright.PENANAgSgHpqn6PL
321Please respect copyright.PENANA6lGuZ29sXz
321Please respect copyright.PENANAnH9Yrl3Abe
"Well," Bob scratched the back of his head, "some people don't realize it until a little later in life. Others go on without realizing it. And some need a trigger to actually unleash their true selves."321Please respect copyright.PENANAzJwzDYZFNE
321Please respect copyright.PENANAN74ovhtFJH
321Please respect copyright.PENANAJWDJtA6ed6
"Like a near-death situation," said Camila.321Please respect copyright.PENANA4h5udOO3Fk
321Please respect copyright.PENANAmEYBugMkFf
321Please respect copyright.PENANA4jLrtMJb2s
I raised an eyebrow. "Wait," I said, my eyes starting to widen. "But I actually died. What does that mean?"321Please respect copyright.PENANAeike4EnmSu
321Please respect copyright.PENANAKMP9YIIkIL
321Please respect copyright.PENANAkIZm2jew33
"That's what we've been trying to figure out this whole time," said Ryan. "Some people are lucky enough to get a second chance to live, but they never attain any special abilities."321Please respect copyright.PENANAPpik3J5r5v
321Please respect copyright.PENANAomSpq50F5N
321Please respect copyright.PENANArv699VVUfZ
"And to make things interesting," said Stella as she put up a little smile, "you can control all the six natural elements."321Please respect copyright.PENANAYPgzSz1shq
321Please respect copyright.PENANACpe9G1uJMw
321Please respect copyright.PENANAy5Zrz4kzPD
"Are you telling me that there's no supernatural person in the world that can control all six?" I asked.321Please respect copyright.PENANAxsynZogqac
321Please respect copyright.PENANANBtHdYrhNx
321Please respect copyright.PENANALy8grvmz7b
"The highest number that any supernatural being can control is three or four," Camila answered. "But some, like Ryan here, who is actually gifted, can control up to five."321Please respect copyright.PENANA2RVPI1SGK2
321Please respect copyright.PENANAQkN5RvtmQX
321Please respect copyright.PENANAts1iSBxRwB
My jaw drops. Wait, if he can control five, then what about...321Please respect copyright.PENANA8B8Mmi5Ckx
321Please respect copyright.PENANA54xvWdwuXh
321Please respect copyright.PENANAImsrkyeUsA
"I, on the other hand, Diana, can control all the elements," came a gentle sing-song voice behind me.321Please respect copyright.PENANAetdgWeTNa9
321Please respect copyright.PENANAXSVnZRy7UX
321Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ1M7x0ME2
I quickly turn around, and standing there is Her Highness, looking elegant as ever in her white, dazzling clothes. I was afraid that any minute from now, she would glow like a star and easily blind me.321Please respect copyright.PENANAZayRtWfcg1
321Please respect copyright.PENANAM6msrvBdgJ
321Please respect copyright.PENANAYPDXIprxzS
"You can control all six elements?" I asked.321Please respect copyright.PENANA65IKaJVt8f
321Please respect copyright.PENANARZ6pX4YVyZ
321Please respect copyright.PENANAk9Z2SHhLi2
"Of course," she answered as she held out her hand. In her palm were six colourful orbs. Something didn't feel right.321Please respect copyright.PENANAoxtrCprN19
321Please respect copyright.PENANAjxLLhSFjIV
321Please respect copyright.PENANAPrxNrJqNy9
"Wait," I said. "If you can control all six elements, don't you need to have the white and black orbs instead?"321Please respect copyright.PENANA9hC23lUYxR
321Please respect copyright.PENANAnajeHeQiVA
321Please respect copyright.PENANAubcnvpvbhz
"Logically, it would seem that way," she answered with a smile on her face. "All elements come from the white and black orbs. Have you ever heard of the Chinese philosophy of Yin and Yang?"321Please respect copyright.PENANAdxP6bXwUNa
321Please respect copyright.PENANAOsOVIv9dJX
321Please respect copyright.PENANAe8sIpNLwGr
"To be honest, no," I said as I shook my head.321Please respect copyright.PENANAQIBv8yBQgs
321Please respect copyright.PENANAiI3sJwdwqo
321Please respect copyright.PENANAOsBtZhCZAj
"Yin and Yang is a concept that describes how opposite sides are interconnected with each other. These two energies balance and complement each other both in nature and in the universe. Like, for example, how there can't be light without darkness, male without female, good without the bad. Those two orbs represent that."321Please respect copyright.PENANA5OdeCXzOLV
321Please respect copyright.PENANAePsXPHpDzY
321Please respect copyright.PENANAeiPBMn6d4I
"Yin and Yang present two opposite sides that complement each other." I repeated her words, trying to make sense of everything. Is this what Stella meant when she said that the white and black orbs represent something different all together?321Please respect copyright.PENANAI1TfZ5feV1
321Please respect copyright.PENANANUOQD6wpnJ
321Please respect copyright.PENANAmoqwxnCGRH
"It's a lot to take in," said Her Highness. "But once you know more about it, you'll understand."321Please respect copyright.PENANAJixKwQ9G1B
321Please respect copyright.PENANAWST7n7wGGF
321Please respect copyright.PENANAuhQpxXMAbP
"If two opposite sides complement each other, then do you mean one can't exist without the other?"321Please respect copyright.PENANAcoKv2XJByZ
321Please respect copyright.PENANAK7gFQfMKl3
321Please respect copyright.PENANAz2Zq2enjfo
"It looks like you're slowly starting to understand. Yes, you're quite right. It won't make sense to always have the sun shining on us. And the moon can't shine brightly at night without the sun. It's how the universe has been designed from the beginning. Both sides, opposite as they are, co-exist with each other, hence creating a certain balance."321Please respect copyright.PENANAFLNoRTFaJt
321Please respect copyright.PENANAnRCepllWkS
321Please respect copyright.PENANAw8AaOTcFnv
"Okay, I'm slowly starting to get that part. But why me? Yes, I have the white and black orbs, but what does it basically mean?"321Please respect copyright.PENANAQdBO5hEOd8
321Please respect copyright.PENANAu484WsLJ07
321Please respect copyright.PENANA6AbW5fc786
There was an eerie silence from Her Highness. And even if she had a smile on her face, I could tell that I had asked a serious question. One that might be very difficult to answer.321Please respect copyright.PENANAJgqUzI5IsX
321Please respect copyright.PENANARSLCi9uRAT
321Please respect copyright.PENANAz6A7Tna7PI
"Ah, well, this is where things get really complicated," she managed to answer.321Please respect copyright.PENANASNCj0q0fEr
321Please respect copyright.PENANAxkouCyYpQL
321Please respect copyright.PENANAQpIpgwoKVA
"I've just been told that I'm supernatural," I said. "My life couldn't get any more complicated than that."321Please respect copyright.PENANAAJDpUWkAno
321Please respect copyright.PENANA8DGH70FlWZ
321Please respect copyright.PENANAShr6DmxqVm
"She's right for once," said Ryan, behind me. I almost turned around to give him a piece of my mind.321Please respect copyright.PENANAhyXsquO7CD
321Please respect copyright.PENANAnPJzXpXMzI
321Please respect copyright.PENANAf1PAsmmoFF
"If I were to tell you that you could create or cause a major upset in the entire universe if you wanted to, would you believe me?" Her Highness asked.321Please respect copyright.PENANAWmWBpBUXCl
321Please respect copyright.PENANARCik86COv6
321Please respect copyright.PENANAvYVzBZyikX
I felt my brain almost short-circuit. Not because I didn't understand what she meant, but because whatever she was telling me seemed so overwhelming to take in.321Please respect copyright.PENANAKknIEdsjLV
321Please respect copyright.PENANAtSXLu5arKA
321Please respect copyright.PENANAmvmYw36CMu
I can create or cause a major upset if I want? But for that to happen, then I must be powerful, right? That last thought hit hard. My mind was soon filled with terror. Is that what this means?321Please respect copyright.PENANA6FtwAdmvbx
321Please respect copyright.PENANAyC04uCiady
321Please respect copyright.PENANA0DtMiKtbR6
"Wait... I can?" I asked. "But I can't, right? I need to be really powerful to do that. Even if I happen to control all the elements, I can't be as powerful as you or Ryan."321Please respect copyright.PENANAlxxXFWX94q
321Please respect copyright.PENANAzjm2JmI54i
321Please respect copyright.PENANAhXOd7NhXmN
"True," said Mei behind me. "They surpass you by experience. But when it comes to your level of abilities, you outrank everyone in this room."321Please respect copyright.PENANAMp8hFznLJi
321Please respect copyright.PENANANL84lIcOHl
321Please respect copyright.PENANARdX921rZ4e
But all this doesn't make any sense. Why me? This must be a mistake. Should we retake the test? Maybe this time I'll land with the fire and water stones, and I won't have to worry about this whole Yin and Yang mambo jumbo.321Please respect copyright.PENANA9Tu7m0Y9qA
321Please respect copyright.PENANAQlT7k1fSgg
321Please respect copyright.PENANAry3lMDi52E
"I can't be the only one, right?" I asked as I looked down at my open palm. "This whole idea of creating and destroying things isn't in my nature."321Please respect copyright.PENANAV9PmMqOd0n
321Please respect copyright.PENANAVwz7Qsxjih
321Please respect copyright.PENANAuWEBp06Z9A
Her Highness came closer and held my open palm. She soon enclosed my fingers into a fist, and I could feel the orb's energy pulsing through my fingers. I looked at her, and her kind eyes gave me a little comfort.321Please respect copyright.PENANAcrxxBuP9uA
321Please respect copyright.PENANADXnewJtADt
321Please respect copyright.PENANA1xFDq9gSLz
"No, you aren't the only one," she answered. "People like you are rare to find. There have been a few cases over the years of people who have this ability. The cases keep getting fewer each time. Don't worry. You'll soon understand how to harness this ability."321Please respect copyright.PENANA3ADB0cGwz6
321Please respect copyright.PENANAtKcinVA8it
321Please respect copyright.PENANAdRoskycqIV
"Wait." I raised an eyebrow. "Are you saying I can't control it yet?"321Please respect copyright.PENANAvonUYcDYMK
321Please respect copyright.PENANAwc2AV07E5M
321Please respect copyright.PENANAvgIMpX4wzM
"Not yet," Bob answered. "If you did, not only would you be able to control every element, but you could control things that no one else can. But so far, you haven't mastered it."321Please respect copyright.PENANACFuuVMSIY8
321Please respect copyright.PENANACkgQMAYxLi
321Please respect copyright.PENANA95KlrOqDwU
"That's scary," I said as I felt the energy pulsing with more intent. "Is this why I am here? To be able to train to not only use the elements but this whole balance thing as well?"321Please respect copyright.PENANAWfzPm5SsRl
321Please respect copyright.PENANAlVtv5U3hJZ
321Please respect copyright.PENANAwptviDmT8M
"To be honest, we brought you here because of how you developed your abilities," Ariana answered. "We knew later on that there was something about you that we couldn't figure out. After the exercise, the two orbs in your hand show us why."321Please respect copyright.PENANA4p1d9spYXu
321Please respect copyright.PENANAPrhcTXeJQp
321Please respect copyright.PENANAz7pkBZmmF8
"Will this change things? I mean, the training and all."321Please respect copyright.PENANAIVpKKBhUnw
321Please respect copyright.PENANA8GoBlMBaZY
321Please respect copyright.PENANAt13x4rnjCz
"Our initial plan still stands," Her Highness answered. "There are many supernaturals who have lived their lives as human beings but later find out that they have special abilities. It's our duty to find and train them. Realizing their abilities can take a toll on some who can't handle their emotions; hence, they spiral out of control."321Please respect copyright.PENANAnsjxZJoTsu
321Please respect copyright.PENANAb5heEkuD5v
321Please respect copyright.PENANANl0uGllawH
What she said makes sense. And the fact that I'm not the only one who can develop abilities out of the blue feels comforting now. Though I felt mine was a little unique, especially the fact that I had died.321Please respect copyright.PENANALW4oJNXrVJ
321Please respect copyright.PENANAnaxtu5weNO
321Please respect copyright.PENANApDZGf6oxEA
"So, the people who also had this ability of Yin and Yang, did they ever come to master its power?" I asked.321Please respect copyright.PENANAbMCGtBx6ww
321Please respect copyright.PENANA1yB28p6G3i
321Please respect copyright.PENANAYefhMyl0sW
I must have asked a tough question again because I felt everyone's eyes on me, this time with more intent.321Please respect copyright.PENANAAdLFrVqNqv
321Please respect copyright.PENANAnHzcMKf0p3
321Please respect copyright.PENANAsv8PDKXQnp
"Well, that's a pretty tough question," said Stella.321Please respect copyright.PENANAKA5D2eYlVY
321Please respect copyright.PENANATysFCtRh90
321Please respect copyright.PENANADimUx50YNj
"Don't worry, it's what she does best, asking questions," said Ryan behind me.321Please respect copyright.PENANAtoMksKKlHg
321Please respect copyright.PENANAGvqRkOrbaF
321Please respect copyright.PENANANRiDuZjeUV
I almost turned around to hiss at him like an angry cat. Instead, I stood still, controlling the sudden urge to.321Please respect copyright.PENANAGah2E2kBhY
321Please respect copyright.PENANAxYQPzBVmMQ
321Please respect copyright.PENANALBLNZY2m8a
"This situation is a pretty rare occurrence," said Her Highness. "You'll have to ask the Immortals of Old over that."321Please respect copyright.PENANAopRaBvFpxQ
321Please respect copyright.PENANAE6eeFdDMoW
321Please respect copyright.PENANAyh2fbrrpoU
"Who are they?"321Please respect copyright.PENANAhUq0OvlkI7
321Please respect copyright.PENANAPlVO05Bjy9
321Please respect copyright.PENANABU2kfWi0L4
"Immortals who have been around since the beginning of time," answered Bob. "She's right. They could have the answers you're looking for. But as far as I know, I've never heard of anyone who possessed such power, or better yet, used it to its full potential."321Please respect copyright.PENANAfFiibjY5jP
321Please respect copyright.PENANA3yGTgkQ6h2
321Please respect copyright.PENANAcbFqo3b3eZ
"True," said Ryan. "Some people believe that no supernatural being has ever possessed it at all and that all of this is just a theory that never came into fruition. It practically became a myth. But now that we've seen this for ourselves, we can say it's possible."321Please respect copyright.PENANAYqtOPu97dI
321Please respect copyright.PENANANl6QBDwyvj
321Please respect copyright.PENANAlTbrWcep57
"Okay, but how do I get into contact with them?" I asked.321Please respect copyright.PENANAtp1b5RuUxH

321Please respect copyright.PENANA4YVRcacSHl
"For someone who asks a lot, I didn't expect you to be this ambitious," said Ryan.321Please respect copyright.PENANARQxhx6zbAI
321Please respect copyright.PENANACXUORpMyzK
321Please respect copyright.PENANA4qHC4XtuJI
"I would throw a fireball at you," I finally snapped, turning to look at him.321Please respect copyright.PENANA0gsvS7f9dZ
321Please respect copyright.PENANAp38YBwhizO
321Please respect copyright.PENANAMedS2bTkg1
"You might want to be careful," Ariana said. "He just so happens to control fire as well." Great! Isn't there anything this man cannot do?321Please respect copyright.PENANA8gyQSBxl2V
321Please respect copyright.PENANAlQbrmpqHry
321Please respect copyright.PENANA0hfcCQBx6i
"But what's so wrong with getting into contact with them?" I asked. "It can't be that hard, can it?"321Please respect copyright.PENANA5lNpeNwl5D
321Please respect copyright.PENANAlH0j4Vf8go
321Please respect copyright.PENANA49b5XXcFFD
Mei looks at me. "One of them just so happens to be the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, and you think you can get into contact with him?" she asked.321Please respect copyright.PENANAYS323Hfmcf
321Please respect copyright.PENANAUfUrsu7TKt
321Please respect copyright.PENANAtCbcBA6Efz
My eyes almost fell out of their sockets. He should've been the first Being to come to mind, but it didn't. Mei is right. If getting into direct contact with Him is hard enough, what about the other Immortals?321Please respect copyright.PENANAtSHxyNHuTs
321Please respect copyright.PENANA7J8euUVwyC
321Please respect copyright.PENANA2Sqv3HOq63
"It doesn't matter; I'll try to get into contact with some people from other groups and ask them," said Stella.321Please respect copyright.PENANAYXV1egvfEr
321Please respect copyright.PENANAqLCka6i5oJ
321Please respect copyright.PENANAQDqKXZUhmQ
"There are other groups?" I asked.321Please respect copyright.PENANAJcRAaMdudM
321Please respect copyright.PENANAOaYKiGoeqb
321Please respect copyright.PENANArjrqWxlXCN
"You not only have to learn how to control your elements but also about the supernatural world," said Her Highness.321Please respect copyright.PENANAfUvW0oKn4Y
321Please respect copyright.PENANARYyVlBSTPO
321Please respect copyright.PENANAZiznAtqbQX
"It seems so."321Please respect copyright.PENANAcSxnau7ATS
321Please respect copyright.PENANAydhI87qmcx
321Please respect copyright.PENANAI3BGdt4T3R
"We also need to determine if you were born supernatural or not. As you continue your training, Ryan will help out with that."321Please respect copyright.PENANAqDEi6BObcY
321Please respect copyright.PENANAiLiNRcbJYW
321Please respect copyright.PENANA0X0dV2jDae
"Is it really necessary?"321Please respect copyright.PENANAoy6SGp4PyL
321Please respect copyright.PENANAq4lVx1ag8Q
321Please respect copyright.PENANAAQHpu74ROK
"It is," Camilla answered. "Knowing that can help us understand if you had descendants with supernatural abilities or if your being in contact with Death is what might have caused everything."321Please respect copyright.PENANAWpiSQ7FioK
321Please respect copyright.PENANA3F1cSJpXp6
321Please respect copyright.PENANAcuPtPdiM0Z
"It won't be that complicated, will it?" I raised an eyebrow.321Please respect copyright.PENANA2lSgnrsQzc
321Please respect copyright.PENANADCmjIgY1Wc
321Please respect copyright.PENANAq25B41lcYt
"It depends," Ryan answered. "I just hope Death caused you to be supernatural. If you have a supernatural descendant, it will be tricky. There will be a lot of information we will have to know first, especially their history."321Please respect copyright.PENANAckFiWBSsie
321Please respect copyright.PENANAOrzBFHLYru
321Please respect copyright.PENANA25iK1fFFXY
I gulped. I agree with Ryan. If I had a descendant who was supernatural, it would be devastating for me mentally.321Please respect copyright.PENANATKeXMUQV9c
321Please respect copyright.PENANAoevL5o7TnA
321Please respect copyright.PENANAqtwwzOIfMQ
"Do we have to do this now?" I asked.321Please respect copyright.PENANABP9A22tfOE

"A lot has happened today, and you were under a lot of stress earlier when doing that exercise," said Stella. "Usually we would advise our students to do it early, but you can take as much time as you need."321Please respect copyright.PENANAUFdp1JPR0r
321Please respect copyright.PENANAAhN8kWLmTz
321Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ie3ayBbDa
I stood there for a while, thinking about it, and later on, I shook my head. So much has happened today that I feel mentally exhausted. The last thing I need is for Ryan to check and find out that there's another big surprise about me.321Please respect copyright.PENANAeoelREGb6a
321Please respect copyright.PENANArCZXxyjrPF
321Please respect copyright.PENANAaj6RzxHtrM
"I certainly need to rest," I said. "Whenever I am ready, I'll make sure to let you know."321Please respect copyright.PENANAigN7M4wQ9B
321Please respect copyright.PENANA3rKH6ym0bQ
321Please respect copyright.PENANAY7XVs3sTM7
"You aren't scared, are you?" Ryan asked with his arms folded.321Please respect copyright.PENANALmPlvmnY57
321Please respect copyright.PENANAqD8CGgVnk8
321Please respect copyright.PENANAj0vdJ27waE
I felt a nerve on my forehead twitch. I have just about had it with him. Since Her Highness is around, I have to be on my best behaviour.321Please respect copyright.PENANAYWnn9QDhAR
321Please respect copyright.PENANAkM7WjFiQZw
321Please respect copyright.PENANAgqcoboQUDc
"Stop it, Ryan." Ariana came to my defence. "She's slowly getting better, and you don't need to push her so much. Besides, that process can take a toll on her, you know?"321Please respect copyright.PENANA19TMCMBNO4
321Please respect copyright.PENANAnTAxNFVqKS
321Please respect copyright.PENANA592FEr8vW5
My insides started to shake. Is it almost similar to the exercise I did with the stones?321Please respect copyright.PENANArIrchkVM0B
321Please respect copyright.PENANABmDJWZiUO6
321Please respect copyright.PENANAsdK08kGK5Z
"If I were you, Ariana, I would keep my mouth shut," said Camilla. "You're going to scare her even more."321Please respect copyright.PENANABXcZvMEWOv
321Please respect copyright.PENANAO19oZDXxUa
321Please respect copyright.PENANAbNfwzLm3IB
"Ever since I became a supernatural, my life has been scarier from one day to the next," I said, trying not to sound scared at all.321Please respect copyright.PENANA1nnf1sEcXK
321Please respect copyright.PENANA7cdCUy4oWF
321Please respect copyright.PENANAdJEYfezFxF
"If we are done here," said Her Highness, "I would like Stella and Ariana to escort Diana back to the castle. The rest of you will stay behind. There's something important that we need to discuss."321Please respect copyright.PENANAWLr0wDh7no
321Please respect copyright.PENANAIyVz7bsgDR
321Please respect copyright.PENANAXBUlGCOvcM
All six members of the High Order obliged without hesitation. I'm just praying that the topic that's so important to discuss isn't about me.321Please respect copyright.PENANAQkPDtbATbH
321Please respect copyright.PENANA9clQ3gfxkI
321Please respect copyright.PENANAjeMUMXV2zs
I followed Stella and Ariana out of the main hall, while Her Highness and the others remained by the cherry blossom tree.321Please respect copyright.PENANAjqD5Smqli2
321Please respect copyright.PENANAl1HlEtZFyQ
321Please respect copyright.PENANAZBHFCXtZEp
As we made our way to the door, my mind couldn't fathom what had happened today. I really needed to train and study to understand the ways of this supernatural world. If my mother were ever to hear of this, she would tie me up and take me to a priest for an exorcism. Where I am from, such things are considered evil and from the devil. But just like there is good and bad in normal people, there's good and bad in the supernatural too.321Please respect copyright.PENANA9NiufWXmTc

As the huge doors before us slowly opened, I soon remembered my look-alike in my vision. At the same time, I felt the orbs in my hand release a sudden jolt of energy. It felt as though it was trying to tell me something. Then her words came back to me:321Please respect copyright.PENANA7fq9Zgg8Ya
321Please respect copyright.PENANAVsK9zriqit
321Please respect copyright.PENANAobIoRfEvPA
"All that is up to you."321Please respect copyright.PENANAYwVYtOZ5KX
321Please respect copyright.PENANAGzfxTDkH7E
321Please respect copyright.PENANA19KEziwkn0
I wonder what she meant. It almost feels like all this was nothing but a game of choices. Or is there more to it than I actually realize? I still have a long way to go before I understand all that is happening right now.321Please respect copyright.PENANANif23Kfxt2
321Please respect copyright.PENANANABiRGkwQg
321Please respect copyright.PENANACrbTk3BL6f
Without further ado, I continued following Stella and Ariana, knowing that this path I'm on won't be all sunshine and rainbows.
