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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAi2sBc7aSAe
443Please respect copyright.PENANAJ51MOLPpOF
443Please respect copyright.PENANAk6mRi10IaA
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAKlVMT7Mh8f
443Please respect copyright.PENANAwruyP8DHE7
443Please respect copyright.PENANA5elWYFKxGx
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANA9NEIy8LQ3C
443Please respect copyright.PENANApdagictz0u
443Please respect copyright.PENANAzKnfEHtWZd
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANA8m8w8EwO0E
443Please respect copyright.PENANARvQ8uCzB0z
443Please respect copyright.PENANA5zBUlfH7U0
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?443Please respect copyright.PENANAEe2rDoBOqM
443Please respect copyright.PENANAA2Pp8x8rNV
443Please respect copyright.PENANAw9kmbRTsVf
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?443Please respect copyright.PENANATlocwJ0q5E
443Please respect copyright.PENANAmS6m2DB3GX
443Please respect copyright.PENANAr4UbVhNqfr
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAJTPr9WEozr
443Please respect copyright.PENANAcwhVaiOlb9
443Please respect copyright.PENANAUytTxvOVze
"I told you to wait by the fountain, Diana," said Stella.443Please respect copyright.PENANAfo5HE2WPwr
443Please respect copyright.PENANAiagGTIFQHg
443Please respect copyright.PENANAMKLGfshqkt
"Well, I'm tired of waiting," I answered.443Please respect copyright.PENANAk7yLfnpiog
443Please respect copyright.PENANATmF479ysRw
443Please respect copyright.PENANAFLp0UjoUJ5
"It's not our fault that Her Highness isn't here yet," said Ryan, raising his eyebrow at me.443Please respect copyright.PENANAT8InJqobpu
443Please respect copyright.PENANApfHUGklckf
443Please respect copyright.PENANAUuK5iO7Og2
"Is this really a big deal?" I asked, drawing my right hand forward and revealing the orbs.443Please respect copyright.PENANAPDbYu6VjYf
443Please respect copyright.PENANAdjYkAa9WIr
443Please respect copyright.PENANAheMmYP6eQg
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAoLDdBv2xl1
443Please respect copyright.PENANA8E9eUacNrB
443Please respect copyright.PENANApq7KJWkCkI
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANArjbEjVLXc3
443Please respect copyright.PENANA28hh5XTYUS
443Please respect copyright.PENANAxczNpLBYR5
"I know you need answers," said Camila in her orange robe. "But we can't give them to you just yet."443Please respect copyright.PENANAy5JRMPj0xB
443Please respect copyright.PENANAgqyq4cfw0u
443Please respect copyright.PENANA9dAtqF99iE
"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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAb7R8QgjbSp
443Please respect copyright.PENANADSnxsvhtjQ
443Please respect copyright.PENANAJ46pkHHfq8
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANAOBpbnbH7e7
443Please respect copyright.PENANASkcE69FUhr
443Please respect copyright.PENANASnmak6QwAg
I felt a hand on my shoulder. Ariana had come to stand beside me, and she had a sad smile on her face.443Please respect copyright.PENANAY0nldWHx5E
443Please respect copyright.PENANA5nFszd7qJZ
443Please respect copyright.PENANAI6kEYAlso4
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANArnKpe8cTCP
443Please respect copyright.PENANAkBrxeajh5R
443Please respect copyright.PENANABtnHYIa13e
"What is it about me that you need to understand? I can't be that complicated, can I?"443Please respect copyright.PENANA7psWC16jMN
443Please respect copyright.PENANAFL6bd9UOnU
443Please respect copyright.PENANAWDyQgStIdS
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?443Please respect copyright.PENANAy0ujU3aDZs
443Please respect copyright.PENANAiDvCgYDAzp
443Please respect copyright.PENANAusDnJM0bjA
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANAwA5jwlEH3i
443Please respect copyright.PENANAhAUwDjV4Kk
443Please respect copyright.PENANADkQGzmPil3
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAl0c24PZoPa
443Please respect copyright.PENANASRRnlTT1t0
443Please respect copyright.PENANAHLFpP9IXvb
"If you need me, I'll be at school," I said as I turned around and started heading out.443Please respect copyright.PENANAZG1IhIECBS
443Please respect copyright.PENANAdjI6mQhwTx
443Please respect copyright.PENANAwksPr56n0t
"You're a supernatural being, Diana," came Ryan's voice behind me.443Please respect copyright.PENANA6aeJVk4TMS
443Please respect copyright.PENANAKdItHNyk3L
443Please respect copyright.PENANA5KabSLHZbD
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAtyHcXhfxHK
443Please respect copyright.PENANAAp83l6icJp
443Please respect copyright.PENANAYsfWNpt22i
"For how long?" I asked.443Please respect copyright.PENANAyeMsoatEeA
443Please respect copyright.PENANArlQusFZRj8
443Please respect copyright.PENANASy4prazEhS
There was an eerie feeling behind me, and I knew what I had asked made them feel uncomfortable. I turn around to face them.443Please respect copyright.PENANAVwqTNNHiNp
443Please respect copyright.PENANAaXuKgGI7it
443Please respect copyright.PENANAE4XZ9csPnG
"Did it happen when I died?" I asked. "And after my encounter with Death, all these abilities just happened to appear."443Please respect copyright.PENANAGbLyu80O7u
443Please respect copyright.PENANAXUynJcWkDO
443Please respect copyright.PENANAoQdHF7PplW
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANAAmqU6wbpxW
443Please respect copyright.PENANAwo9X5bv59r
443Please respect copyright.PENANAsuN6VONysN
"And what if that isn't the case?" I asked.443Please respect copyright.PENANAGLoG9ZhrIf
443Please respect copyright.PENANADqd7gK8X5G
443Please respect copyright.PENANAfeDfJi6Noa
"Then we will have to find the source of your power," Stella answered.443Please respect copyright.PENANAt1CoLr9K3I
443Please respect copyright.PENANA96ZECi3yxZ
443Please respect copyright.PENANAv2e8fGZfGR
"Source? Isn't the power residing inside me?"443Please respect copyright.PENANA3tpalOJ4rw
443Please respect copyright.PENANAVknu6VeQH1
443Please respect copyright.PENANACjXLpAGluh
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANAPz8uDb4ytM
443Please respect copyright.PENANA0mfEv5Bj58
443Please respect copyright.PENANAMlBUk1YTMu
"So, what you're saying is that there's a possibility that I might have been supernatural before my meeting with Death?"443Please respect copyright.PENANAh1YaOikVyK
443Please respect copyright.PENANAzqljyg2965
443Please respect copyright.PENANA2Mv0cufWkH
"What we really mean to say is that it's possible you might actually have been born supernatural," said Mei.443Please respect copyright.PENANAtB3kGuEz1L
443Please respect copyright.PENANAb8TdWkw3B1
443Please respect copyright.PENANA6L0bPfPqUs
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAqz3CGLVjWW
443Please respect copyright.PENANAwbn0KtdaIh
443Please respect copyright.PENANACq4vh0ghC5
"Is that possible?" I asked. "No one in my family, as far as I know, is supernatural."443Please respect copyright.PENANArXS4tr662m
443Please respect copyright.PENANAuRIksjjb34
443Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ1x19M88a
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANA1fB1lIH6UL
443Please respect copyright.PENANAl0dm9GySWL
443Please respect copyright.PENANAPwiuoj7LzS
"Like a near-death situation," said Camila.443Please respect copyright.PENANAEyxzRQIK4M
443Please respect copyright.PENANAhWcZX4PvSt
443Please respect copyright.PENANA83iuZIbnxu
I raised an eyebrow. "Wait," I said, my eyes starting to widen. "But I actually died. What does that mean?"443Please respect copyright.PENANAE5hmzGdjwH
443Please respect copyright.PENANAcEW1goo9jP
443Please respect copyright.PENANAcv4EUm9KZS
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANAUS8JRffVHE
443Please respect copyright.PENANAwv9uJ9FXsU
443Please respect copyright.PENANAI5xKuK8j67
"And to make things interesting," said Stella as she put up a little smile, "you can control all the six natural elements."443Please respect copyright.PENANAP75rkE4tLa
443Please respect copyright.PENANAkLPcnRzAun
443Please respect copyright.PENANADsKMzKPliu
"Are you telling me that there's no supernatural person in the world that can control all six?" I asked.443Please respect copyright.PENANAgbhCamuKUz
443Please respect copyright.PENANAzWU6LdmCb6
443Please respect copyright.PENANA3KRA31VP62
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANAMVDqkagiZ7
443Please respect copyright.PENANAfOx3qlqLie
443Please respect copyright.PENANALMDbiI9Jc2
My jaw drops. Wait, if he can control five, then what about...443Please respect copyright.PENANAsGBlOKfkmv
443Please respect copyright.PENANATFNcOybJ3Y
443Please respect copyright.PENANAucO3yT8H4g
"I, on the other hand, Diana, can control all the elements," came a gentle sing-song voice behind me.443Please respect copyright.PENANA3qzkY27Fzt
443Please respect copyright.PENANAj4mqH6tySh
443Please respect copyright.PENANAU8Bqosv7SP
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAvKMUSekZxp
443Please respect copyright.PENANAxsGHnqru8c
443Please respect copyright.PENANAMVeSXZGA3u
"You can control all six elements?" I asked.443Please respect copyright.PENANAK7YnDweC6v
443Please respect copyright.PENANAz5xdEXlFuB
443Please respect copyright.PENANAW1oRXi79b6
"Of course," she answered as she held out her hand. In her palm were six colourful orbs. Something didn't feel right.443Please respect copyright.PENANA31pWKOBbHa
443Please respect copyright.PENANAkuvORwSezh
443Please respect copyright.PENANACwi7Exwo9b
"Wait," I said. "If you can control all six elements, don't you need to have the white and black orbs instead?"443Please respect copyright.PENANAVLHtdnU45k
443Please respect copyright.PENANA4HMDZonXiv
443Please respect copyright.PENANAXfe7SZV9jP
"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?"443Please respect copyright.PENANAKBxZh48hLq
443Please respect copyright.PENANACqGhZdX6BQ
443Please respect copyright.PENANA7ULiCdsY55
"To be honest, no," I said as I shook my head.443Please respect copyright.PENANA1PSUBIojUT
443Please respect copyright.PENANAUFfF86CQPi
443Please respect copyright.PENANA163p7Hz5P2
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANAglBgWUFxcL
443Please respect copyright.PENANAlMxRSl3VVZ
443Please respect copyright.PENANAegliKQT23U
"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?443Please respect copyright.PENANAmRZII8etBs
443Please respect copyright.PENANAixkpEiNeeO
443Please respect copyright.PENANAAqeF7ysThi
"It's a lot to take in," said Her Highness. "But once you know more about it, you'll understand."443Please respect copyright.PENANAG2zCmLftIB
443Please respect copyright.PENANAbHRDIkK63i
443Please respect copyright.PENANAKWyf3zAeIO
"If two opposite sides complement each other, then do you mean one can't exist without the other?"443Please respect copyright.PENANAGK7T8Lj2YU
443Please respect copyright.PENANAzhoOG9VuXP
443Please respect copyright.PENANAfwlhA6z5KH
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANAi0wABSrAvc
443Please respect copyright.PENANAZGkEUCeK2v
443Please respect copyright.PENANAKVDV3AzlQZ
"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?"443Please respect copyright.PENANAOLk3L1Vg1X
443Please respect copyright.PENANAyt92PZXcLr
443Please respect copyright.PENANAS4F1QM1Ryf
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAjmNJ3SOU4z
443Please respect copyright.PENANAPGYOPwjVa1
443Please respect copyright.PENANAK9afkvxDKi
"Ah, well, this is where things get really complicated," she managed to answer.443Please respect copyright.PENANAGbtlO0Bmox
443Please respect copyright.PENANAK7Aulk11YX
443Please respect copyright.PENANAgQBYWHitio
"I've just been told that I'm supernatural," I said. "My life couldn't get any more complicated than that."443Please respect copyright.PENANAHTxSUlGyD9
443Please respect copyright.PENANAIZduDD0DOX
443Please respect copyright.PENANAwOzdHudcK8
"She's right for once," said Ryan, behind me. I almost turned around to give him a piece of my mind.443Please respect copyright.PENANAbSOaJgXxGg
443Please respect copyright.PENANActXik6FINe
443Please respect copyright.PENANA7RXNXZ6CYN
"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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3umOjf6Nc
443Please respect copyright.PENANA13ajlkpGsA
443Please respect copyright.PENANAXBtFxSgomd
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAqFTAZDKgTb
443Please respect copyright.PENANACRmojI58uv
443Please respect copyright.PENANAUosXwx5IHZ
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?443Please respect copyright.PENANAsdM0SCjcaa
443Please respect copyright.PENANAtkQ91TWS5M
443Please respect copyright.PENANAuLiGJLDwwh
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANAyDDuR9sIjT
443Please respect copyright.PENANAcQ8rrFzfxz
443Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ebb8mmXid
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANAhB9Aj5wHeD
443Please respect copyright.PENANA1IS4O492jA
443Please respect copyright.PENANAEXR6eLItJi
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANArYKOW0txDk
443Please respect copyright.PENANAfKbhdopYie
443Please respect copyright.PENANAKKjHbZPY38
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANAWVJag1qGYe
443Please respect copyright.PENANAVdkyVfuL3i
443Please respect copyright.PENANAslltniRAhc
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAxLktEsYaje
443Please respect copyright.PENANAs3H3ZWfrgi
443Please respect copyright.PENANAVehK2kxgAk
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANAhktY7wMm9o
443Please respect copyright.PENANA9Vvjr5PUP7
443Please respect copyright.PENANAaXdjQ1AcF4
"Wait." I raised an eyebrow. "Are you saying I can't control it yet?"443Please respect copyright.PENANA7l13hNwQw5
443Please respect copyright.PENANAXS8MnETjLR
443Please respect copyright.PENANAUMbO7GRd2p
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANAghFuAUbWud
443Please respect copyright.PENANAoOEEgq8OaO
443Please respect copyright.PENANA6QkrfsCNQB
"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?"443Please respect copyright.PENANAS09qCSoxcv
443Please respect copyright.PENANARlvleB8O6g
443Please respect copyright.PENANAMotSeP0XFa
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANAGi0XufNmxJ
443Please respect copyright.PENANAd0Csvl52L0
443Please respect copyright.PENANAC8ihn3eBSf

443Please respect copyright.PENANAtvL91Bt784
443Please respect copyright.PENANAFJArikY8ih
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANARqqIaayIC3
443Please respect copyright.PENANAloHqGJqEdk
443Please respect copyright.PENANADfJl8BcyIW
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAdRPoUElYfO
443Please respect copyright.PENANAandpjILDPY
443Please respect copyright.PENANAEJitaaLlt0
"So, the people who also had this ability of Yin and Yang, did they ever come to master its power?" I asked.443Please respect copyright.PENANApmW8ih0neO
443Please respect copyright.PENANAP6ECUvTy9O
443Please respect copyright.PENANAevShBvXZcd
I must have asked a tough question again because I felt everyone's eyes on me, this time with more intent.443Please respect copyright.PENANAb0VCurUMap
443Please respect copyright.PENANA9P36vrifWt
443Please respect copyright.PENANAeY3c2zK8Pi
"Well, that's a pretty tough question," said Stella.443Please respect copyright.PENANAsBZ7XNm5U6
443Please respect copyright.PENANA71oqeTdli7
443Please respect copyright.PENANAPREgrqhdLO
"Don't worry, it's what she does best, asking questions," said Ryan behind me.443Please respect copyright.PENANAjomMjnJOZN
443Please respect copyright.PENANAhUtG37whuh
443Please respect copyright.PENANAT7aeGzVxDA
I almost turned around to hiss at him like an angry cat. Instead, I stood still, controlling the sudden urge to.443Please respect copyright.PENANAEpAZYl1lK8
443Please respect copyright.PENANAStfTD6OJbJ
443Please respect copyright.PENANA1guceFjBrA
"This situation is a pretty rare occurrence," said Her Highness. "You'll have to ask the Immortals of Old over that."443Please respect copyright.PENANAWEJucaoU8i
443Please respect copyright.PENANAdDEwSuOpfm
443Please respect copyright.PENANA4x2VnX5ybQ
"Who are they?"443Please respect copyright.PENANAUxcmisqTdp
443Please respect copyright.PENANA6qVGbFAey3
443Please respect copyright.PENANAnYjl9xdqln
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANANNqgNWtlKH
443Please respect copyright.PENANAc3eZ8NB1hj
443Please respect copyright.PENANA8EZWmzvLa6
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANAVn8Nev1uyq
443Please respect copyright.PENANALsLcXjGlFP
443Please respect copyright.PENANAf4nQfdKLQX
"Okay, but how do I get into contact with them?" I asked.443Please respect copyright.PENANAwaHpJ3cF5S

443Please respect copyright.PENANAby48LgmoZZ
"For someone who asks a lot, I didn't expect you to be this ambitious," said Ryan.443Please respect copyright.PENANAOnOjJCoGh6
443Please respect copyright.PENANAl7G1t6JdRp
443Please respect copyright.PENANAbCkOuIjKSL
"I would throw a fireball at you," I finally snapped, turning to look at him.443Please respect copyright.PENANAkAr0sLWLxT
443Please respect copyright.PENANAWagi7M1Oob
443Please respect copyright.PENANA2O6gpU6T8C
"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?443Please respect copyright.PENANAWU53Q71ycT
443Please respect copyright.PENANAcajJXti61H
443Please respect copyright.PENANApfwv2Ad58a
"But what's so wrong with getting into contact with them?" I asked. "It can't be that hard, can it?"443Please respect copyright.PENANAXmyPnGRoCM
443Please respect copyright.PENANArjTFOqYIsK
443Please respect copyright.PENANAHgs936BIsn
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAgd64vRICAP
443Please respect copyright.PENANAcz9qXAGdSY
443Please respect copyright.PENANA5f1GovJ97n
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?443Please respect copyright.PENANAzCHNKF6TuO
443Please respect copyright.PENANAMqLuDRYPNT
443Please respect copyright.PENANAAKdJPDXV5C
"It doesn't matter; I'll try to get into contact with some people from other groups and ask them," said Stella.443Please respect copyright.PENANAyylQddpErK
443Please respect copyright.PENANAuWb9Feek7I
443Please respect copyright.PENANAE8RpD1urco
"There are other groups?" I asked.443Please respect copyright.PENANASK9q7TILAD
443Please respect copyright.PENANA5MkIUzmtFx
443Please respect copyright.PENANAGeAgNiZ1Ja
"You not only have to learn how to control your elements but also about the supernatural world," said Her Highness.443Please respect copyright.PENANAXPeweNyeTI
443Please respect copyright.PENANAZgl5KvSbbJ
443Please respect copyright.PENANAmzUqgKtx3J
"It seems so."443Please respect copyright.PENANAD9QRId0MN8
443Please respect copyright.PENANA0sXwcZcoiC
443Please respect copyright.PENANAYVbGn14d4V
"We also need to determine if you were born supernatural or not. As you continue your training, Ryan will help out with that."443Please respect copyright.PENANA663XBbSvDc
443Please respect copyright.PENANAEFtO5n6f4R
443Please respect copyright.PENANAdezhlJSzdT
"Is it really necessary?"443Please respect copyright.PENANAR4Aaw8rOW0
443Please respect copyright.PENANA2yy03ZY7AJ
443Please respect copyright.PENANARUhhYJXhmP
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANA3gOxRIDlaP
443Please respect copyright.PENANANWu7R2Rgd5
443Please respect copyright.PENANAsx7aDwdaYf
"It won't be that complicated, will it?" I raised an eyebrow.443Please respect copyright.PENANApj5cg3H5CN
443Please respect copyright.PENANAY6ghtUhlZC
443Please respect copyright.PENANA0VqNcVATqn
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANAsOF5bzc2hI
443Please respect copyright.PENANABRjHRQhdH3
443Please respect copyright.PENANAjNKUpwO3MU
I gulped. I agree with Ryan. If I had a descendant who was supernatural, it would be devastating for me mentally.443Please respect copyright.PENANAGr2U4wU50g
443Please respect copyright.PENANAemRVAJ1A0Q
443Please respect copyright.PENANA5bKA1uF3hX
"Do we have to do this now?" I asked.443Please respect copyright.PENANA4sdOEAndzJ
443Please respect copyright.PENANAMJcOYajHvw
443Please respect copyright.PENANA2US3JRwTnv
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANAtHegfU06qz
443Please respect copyright.PENANAJPyKjgBOzv
443Please respect copyright.PENANAIkACUq9PLe
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANApa6MlunNL3
443Please respect copyright.PENANAO91Jfmmjp9
443Please respect copyright.PENANAaUftCVB6rJ
"I certainly need to rest," I said. "Whenever I am ready, I'll make sure to let you know."443Please respect copyright.PENANAcNYN7AyF6C
443Please respect copyright.PENANAnMbt0yiLh8
443Please respect copyright.PENANAzhlWry5Mu1
"You aren't scared, are you?" Ryan asked with his arms folded.443Please respect copyright.PENANAlF81HKbKuG
443Please respect copyright.PENANAB7T0ngOOno
443Please respect copyright.PENANAE3qdYrdNf2
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAQ80EBpqjuj
443Please respect copyright.PENANAfZKv6Fa7W1
443Please respect copyright.PENANAjzHdSkjsOB
"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?"443Please respect copyright.PENANA9Dopk4wQjR
443Please respect copyright.PENANAmiacutp1AB
443Please respect copyright.PENANAzVDBW0RvsH
My insides started to shake. Is it almost similar to the exercise I did with the stones?443Please respect copyright.PENANAwUQz4PxR9b
443Please respect copyright.PENANA81tssl4Qew
443Please respect copyright.PENANA9laK84ePqO
"If I were you, Ariana, I would keep my mouth shut," said Camilla. "You're going to scare her even more."443Please respect copyright.PENANAFJKENVXkyZ
443Please respect copyright.PENANAf7ly8JFwLh
443Please respect copyright.PENANAnsOdrsr6fd
"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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAibaMnoYvyk
443Please respect copyright.PENANAXoDzsXjRcQ
443Please respect copyright.PENANA8PnW8EDwa7
"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."443Please respect copyright.PENANADthO61461h
443Please respect copyright.PENANAKMLBCbUl5b
443Please respect copyright.PENANAA7cPLONTxQ
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANA61bLy3XgSV
443Please respect copyright.PENANAaWdTDK99C7
443Please respect copyright.PENANAPRkwwKDUyH
I followed Stella and Ariana out of the main hall, while Her Highness and the others remained by the cherry blossom tree.443Please respect copyright.PENANAq4qnX8NFWF
443Please respect copyright.PENANAhfdmwrXzQ8
443Please respect copyright.PENANAesxEj71Fql
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAP93qECey64

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:443Please respect copyright.PENANAfTcjsnP7yt
443Please respect copyright.PENANAOE4PGC99cD
443Please respect copyright.PENANAOPlc9HROzS
"All that is up to you."443Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ujd8N0oTD
443Please respect copyright.PENANAyu83NvPp1m
443Please respect copyright.PENANAIcOoLcoUjD
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.443Please respect copyright.PENANAJFUvylgoYt
443Please respect copyright.PENANAKM7dSHwvHu
443Please respect copyright.PENANALtjW2CZJCs
Without further ado, I continued following Stella and Ariana, knowing that this path I'm on won't be all sunshine and rainbows.
