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.146Please respect copyright.PENANA1gTLM4nVHq

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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAW9OsmmcemL
146Please respect copyright.PENANALV3aYmtIg6
146Please respect copyright.PENANAFrmcJaB4WW
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAHCHvabCR1I
146Please respect copyright.PENANAnP6hf7lTrb
146Please respect copyright.PENANA9bliKJr2p0
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ksr8i6wYK
146Please respect copyright.PENANAVbaTWu4Uw7
146Please respect copyright.PENANA6No0pO76ht
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?146Please respect copyright.PENANAOQVAI7OkGy
146Please respect copyright.PENANAuQejorg6QY
146Please respect copyright.PENANAqZUhk9cQuT
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?146Please respect copyright.PENANAuTPJHzWSSr
146Please respect copyright.PENANAokxMNgpsKU
146Please respect copyright.PENANAep3lMQm2xB
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAkxAdCZFgyI
146Please respect copyright.PENANABRllqjySqk
146Please respect copyright.PENANA3wpuCxlJSr
"I told you to wait by the fountain, Diana," said Stella.146Please respect copyright.PENANA08CusWZJzQ
146Please respect copyright.PENANAH2J11Pbrl9
146Please respect copyright.PENANAvmQzAhtHYm
"Well, I'm tired of waiting," I answered.146Please respect copyright.PENANAY0SngAkJFU
146Please respect copyright.PENANAVGScw7fYY4
146Please respect copyright.PENANAqdwcqzDhUJ
"It's not our fault that Her Highness isn't here yet," said Ryan, raising his eyebrow at me.146Please respect copyright.PENANAYdye2mWyv8
146Please respect copyright.PENANAFi0HVLSmW9
146Please respect copyright.PENANAmPPvwn5vpq
"Is this really a big deal?" I asked, drawing my right hand forward and revealing the orbs.146Please respect copyright.PENANAoVSrPck5MM
146Please respect copyright.PENANAZxh7BcNz4S
146Please respect copyright.PENANAiNYLlykoE5
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANACfDcyiqZg2
146Please respect copyright.PENANAPdAOVO9Mqu
146Please respect copyright.PENANA9AX4Yc18mS
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANA08Thm9JW9z
146Please respect copyright.PENANAsDz2tsVlRi
146Please respect copyright.PENANA5xBXnkmGu0
"I know you need answers," said Camila in her orange robe. "But we can't give them to you just yet."146Please respect copyright.PENANAaHmKZovZcO
146Please respect copyright.PENANA3UT5494TWG
146Please respect copyright.PENANA5yV91UQlyX
"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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAD43zuUeHFt
146Please respect copyright.PENANAqHmYYvaFk8
146Please respect copyright.PENANAG4Hn8vKlHo
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANArQiGNYEoo2
146Please respect copyright.PENANAyKPSYGAHfB
146Please respect copyright.PENANAGJHZzooBF1
I felt a hand on my shoulder. Ariana had come to stand beside me, and she had a sad smile on her face.146Please respect copyright.PENANARbYJSjj6XF
146Please respect copyright.PENANAMJdCCul7Xo
146Please respect copyright.PENANAWfMaPmaqsf
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAxXt6ZtiEKX
146Please respect copyright.PENANA82oZlqzLqn

146Please respect copyright.PENANAdkbFcuGNAg
146Please respect copyright.PENANAKmkhXKIZe4
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?146Please respect copyright.PENANAEfFgLwW410
146Please respect copyright.PENANAESVaVMSj6y
146Please respect copyright.PENANAJOJS7uCZGa
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAfIIcBhWfE0
146Please respect copyright.PENANAivr1fPI7MI
146Please respect copyright.PENANA7ziWvGgI1U
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAR8SmDaOHJS
146Please respect copyright.PENANAyIQD1RmACe
146Please respect copyright.PENANA6nzOYBahqd
"If you need me, I'll be at school," I said as I turned around and started heading out.146Please respect copyright.PENANAjvsXn9Rhng
146Please respect copyright.PENANAWDXcp7buLo
146Please respect copyright.PENANAkwHyu6yrLg
"You're a supernatural being, Diana," came Ryan's voice behind me.146Please respect copyright.PENANApI4Iu4aQnU
146Please respect copyright.PENANAr423taOLXw
146Please respect copyright.PENANAOA5f5luiqi
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAByoEPAlDwb
146Please respect copyright.PENANAI4qfdx4gXO
146Please respect copyright.PENANAH2ppd8Kx7o
"For how long?" I asked.146Please respect copyright.PENANAhnksE7J1jq
146Please respect copyright.PENANAuOtrQ7GuE8
146Please respect copyright.PENANAxtjj8q5Mfg
There was an eerie feeling behind me, and I knew what I had asked made them feel uncomfortable. I turn around to face them.146Please respect copyright.PENANAv2iq8Jdizv
146Please respect copyright.PENANADsmEsQuXKF
146Please respect copyright.PENANA0BQrTprehp
"Did it happen when I died?" I asked. "And after my encounter with Death, all these abilities just happened to appear."146Please respect copyright.PENANAOeUelWGTYY
146Please respect copyright.PENANAz1xx2bZQ24
146Please respect copyright.PENANALq5YKwOmWi
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAXxUeTjLutr
146Please respect copyright.PENANAXr1gZx4VSO
146Please respect copyright.PENANA4fWep1ZuUH
"And what if that isn't the case?" I asked.146Please respect copyright.PENANA8W5fpuVxpM
146Please respect copyright.PENANAtxzlpE7NrJ
146Please respect copyright.PENANAmbT2JdQej3
"Then we will have to find the source of your power," Stella answered.146Please respect copyright.PENANA6EGnMxQo9S
146Please respect copyright.PENANALrXF1pVGCY
146Please respect copyright.PENANAFEvlKpNq8Q
"Source? Isn't the power residing inside me?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAx2anyvuwsW
146Please respect copyright.PENANA2ehX6NmZHF
146Please respect copyright.PENANAbycQLG3csN
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANACEaLLzZLA1
146Please respect copyright.PENANAmMSzc2MkIR
146Please respect copyright.PENANAeUJujxS2Fm
"So, what you're saying is that there's a possibility that I might have been supernatural before my meeting with Death?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAQuW06zCygh
146Please respect copyright.PENANALxMVQKiIlc
146Please respect copyright.PENANANdibXj8rOU
"What we really mean to say is that it's possible you might actually have been born supernatural," said Mei.146Please respect copyright.PENANA7YNlA6ZWP9
146Please respect copyright.PENANAzDu1RZEFZj
146Please respect copyright.PENANAQOkt86HWkR
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAtSAvcesEyd
146Please respect copyright.PENANAA3Mi4u3zKE
146Please respect copyright.PENANAg5ZVVTheeh
"Is that possible?" I asked. "No one in my family, as far as I know, is supernatural."146Please respect copyright.PENANAI3fI9qZiBD
146Please respect copyright.PENANAd1x2SYZqE7
146Please respect copyright.PENANAQTpuHqibno
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANATMSCs4cxgd
146Please respect copyright.PENANAFC6jpIqHyD
146Please respect copyright.PENANAy2lmotkFsa
"Like a near-death situation," said Camila.146Please respect copyright.PENANA16e0SgyLU5
146Please respect copyright.PENANAJrI2w2DopA
146Please respect copyright.PENANAoX0astslr3
I raised an eyebrow. "Wait," I said, my eyes starting to widen. "But I actually died. What does that mean?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAP5QbyuwqXV
146Please respect copyright.PENANATl5rmqk2Na
146Please respect copyright.PENANAW6BGQL87gb
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAAGaOawTIAL
146Please respect copyright.PENANATc7HYTsxfy
146Please respect copyright.PENANAPgwx762BUP
"And to make things interesting," said Stella as she put up a little smile, "you can control all the six natural elements."146Please respect copyright.PENANAyqI6UyGQXv
146Please respect copyright.PENANAFYemSHEHWc
146Please respect copyright.PENANAQK48PcL49D
"Are you telling me that there's no supernatural person in the world that can control all six?" I asked.146Please respect copyright.PENANAcZsRGiyXXI
146Please respect copyright.PENANAR4onePX8ur
146Please respect copyright.PENANAgryMfZP7z2
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANA28dacZdYCj
146Please respect copyright.PENANAfIyxgaF6DH
146Please respect copyright.PENANAmbCle25r9o
My jaw drops. Wait, if he can control five, then what about...146Please respect copyright.PENANAmOnNuLorU3
146Please respect copyright.PENANAxa94lrPjBv
146Please respect copyright.PENANACinSrxvO40
"I, on the other hand, Diana, can control all the elements," came a gentle sing-song voice behind me.146Please respect copyright.PENANATCY0wa0T1b
146Please respect copyright.PENANApPnK1R0yPr
146Please respect copyright.PENANAj5XRrB1nP4
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANA2M4Mzy3G0p
146Please respect copyright.PENANAm1MXPRSJ4i
146Please respect copyright.PENANAGlJg6MfMmd
"You can control all six elements?" I asked.146Please respect copyright.PENANAv5Ml2746TD
146Please respect copyright.PENANAo7wa7G4aOw
146Please respect copyright.PENANAZyyDOUjuxo
"Of course," she answered as she held out her hand. In her palm were six colourful orbs. Something didn't feel right.146Please respect copyright.PENANAe5sO9ONYSl
146Please respect copyright.PENANAoHJjfNkxZN
146Please respect copyright.PENANA5P2Y9lA5bB
"Wait," I said. "If you can control all six elements, don't you need to have the white and black orbs instead?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAsKrq1Gxr4E
146Please respect copyright.PENANAwUlTFnGmCt
146Please respect copyright.PENANAkl90lHtq9h
"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?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAXFLqZg2Frg
146Please respect copyright.PENANAWqXPkE3Jnr
146Please respect copyright.PENANAcWfQ0kqHZk
"To be honest, no," I said as I shook my head.146Please respect copyright.PENANAnIWzAF5goU
146Please respect copyright.PENANAshMOqlJPMf
146Please respect copyright.PENANAyju1Ekqdyp
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAej5VxvBjKD
146Please respect copyright.PENANAc6BGay5yRi
146Please respect copyright.PENANAJsmLFG9pyu
"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?146Please respect copyright.PENANAkhTYIPpeLH
146Please respect copyright.PENANABh8GIhrKWh
146Please respect copyright.PENANApvsbhi9MRl
"It's a lot to take in," said Her Highness. "But once you know more about it, you'll understand."146Please respect copyright.PENANAzSgCPouIQ7
146Please respect copyright.PENANALjvgl2Nr0j
146Please respect copyright.PENANAwVtXU6cv1T
"If two opposite sides complement each other, then do you mean one can't exist without the other?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAFf8b5R0cfu
146Please respect copyright.PENANAyPAU6j9yLj
146Please respect copyright.PENANAtDWk8KQY6t
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAsoJ2yx0bd9
146Please respect copyright.PENANAmmRYoujb0J
146Please respect copyright.PENANA7njuiCmX32
"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?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAoc11mBWVd1
146Please respect copyright.PENANArFSgsBNe2M
146Please respect copyright.PENANA0eo3TZUDRq
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAACdig3TPb6
146Please respect copyright.PENANALPsp812HAr
146Please respect copyright.PENANA5yd4Drc6cj
"Ah, well, this is where things get really complicated," she managed to answer.146Please respect copyright.PENANAiAJmG1pXoi
146Please respect copyright.PENANA1dPS9xAg3s
146Please respect copyright.PENANAeSg6iS05N7
"I've just been told that I'm supernatural," I said. "My life couldn't get any more complicated than that."146Please respect copyright.PENANABi790rY11I
146Please respect copyright.PENANAOoZJ613hJE
146Please respect copyright.PENANAa2g3fsGlAq
"She's right for once," said Ryan, behind me. I almost turned around to give him a piece of my mind.146Please respect copyright.PENANARjZexxYJaK
146Please respect copyright.PENANAbcUoKDxSsj
146Please respect copyright.PENANAWW48cRBvak
"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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAykhFQbeXiS
146Please respect copyright.PENANALhL4KBpHbB
146Please respect copyright.PENANAKtxBtxpwgw
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANADuicMY88MP
146Please respect copyright.PENANAUZbcnkaj8K
146Please respect copyright.PENANAru10sWKJsw
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?146Please respect copyright.PENANAT2FjolsrUp
146Please respect copyright.PENANA41A5gDUjED
146Please respect copyright.PENANAkyrB2Maba3
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANA5CAObZc9cB
146Please respect copyright.PENANA1MyZj5Fnl4
146Please respect copyright.PENANAI3AUpp3yMi
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAm0fgBEkuWr
146Please respect copyright.PENANAOQSHuf84g2
146Please respect copyright.PENANA10fkBM5gFw
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAnugIHtk4zv
146Please respect copyright.PENANAG6nlEACDk6
146Please respect copyright.PENANAG4JRCOb5Te
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANA4s8a9adakG
146Please respect copyright.PENANAtyqiHpXddv
146Please respect copyright.PENANAEh1t0NA2jP
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAOlTWuX0Ied
146Please respect copyright.PENANA8csU5xSKE7
146Please respect copyright.PENANAolhA42Sbsi
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAhWHISHDu4e
146Please respect copyright.PENANAXQawTeNABe
146Please respect copyright.PENANArXIuhWW5gd
"Wait." I raised an eyebrow. "Are you saying I can't control it yet?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAe2rCXuWAA5
146Please respect copyright.PENANAfJTPSvAhTy
146Please respect copyright.PENANAzzZHkDHlfY
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAXmYdcMX0d1
146Please respect copyright.PENANAB3PytaYa93
146Please respect copyright.PENANAWT6IGyUjil
"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?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAzVMpK26OpT
146Please respect copyright.PENANADDaLxtUbt0
146Please respect copyright.PENANASp1s0d4dyO
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAZsZKKnA53V
146Please respect copyright.PENANASzQLQywQWv
146Please respect copyright.PENANAdillhQ7Zfi

146Please respect copyright.PENANAiydo4MllY6
146Please respect copyright.PENANAtRUzRgQGeW
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAI6QTSYATWY
146Please respect copyright.PENANAkb4Jx3oEi6
146Please respect copyright.PENANA4TXdNyEs7A
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAG9ubbMUWjX
146Please respect copyright.PENANA2watLItHz6
146Please respect copyright.PENANAtpx1cxBqkE
"So, the people who also had this ability of Yin and Yang, did they ever come to master its power?" I asked.146Please respect copyright.PENANAg7aKCGNcd6
146Please respect copyright.PENANAOrla7bLuzW
146Please respect copyright.PENANAafKh3GGTK2
I must have asked a tough question again because I felt everyone's eyes on me, this time with more intent.146Please respect copyright.PENANA9g7PKJuvYn
146Please respect copyright.PENANAVyDlhm1vZL
146Please respect copyright.PENANAwQcwuydMXg
"Well, that's a pretty tough question," said Stella.146Please respect copyright.PENANAMdQcyaCH43
146Please respect copyright.PENANAnP7x1KQ38O
146Please respect copyright.PENANAkDrQ2pwk0v
"Don't worry, it's what she does best, asking questions," said Ryan behind me.146Please respect copyright.PENANAlcNQqP02GB
146Please respect copyright.PENANAztq4MolH7L
146Please respect copyright.PENANAyR4nS4j3wu
I almost turned around to hiss at him like an angry cat. Instead, I stood still, controlling the sudden urge to.146Please respect copyright.PENANArknojuNUWz
146Please respect copyright.PENANANbBl0Ut177
146Please respect copyright.PENANApAsjVwwQdA
"This situation is a pretty rare occurrence," said Her Highness. "You'll have to ask the Immortals of Old over that."146Please respect copyright.PENANAw6HF4y4ZkP
146Please respect copyright.PENANAqLqNQqvUHI
146Please respect copyright.PENANAZvphH5Oepj

146Please respect copyright.PENANAyGtHLPJ0yt
146Please respect copyright.PENANAmmRoVEoTss
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAc3zG2PCXgU
146Please respect copyright.PENANAXDXmEzUsvl
146Please respect copyright.PENANAOGmWgTF2Ip
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAGcCpNlY2cV
146Please respect copyright.PENANAbBLhPgsbe4
146Please respect copyright.PENANAFJfDpDQgfi

"For someone who asks a lot, I didn't expect you to be this ambitious," said Ryan.146Please respect copyright.PENANAATji4fA0Rz

"I would throw a fireball at you," I finally snapped, turning to look at him.146Please respect copyright.PENANAmHPChwf1AD

"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?146Please respect copyright.PENANAaw8FvqopBZ

"But what's so wrong with getting into contact with them?" I asked. "It can't be that hard, can it?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAdgeEPGDing
146Please respect copyright.PENANA8SOeHKViRm
146Please respect copyright.PENANAU7WqTEIty5
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAbcgMuauhmW
146Please respect copyright.PENANAu6NAEFtpkj
146Please respect copyright.PENANAXDFsEJpOsI
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?146Please respect copyright.PENANAkNKgkXMVJi
146Please respect copyright.PENANA2iwiQ7GJHw
146Please respect copyright.PENANAlPcVEn7pJM
"It doesn't matter; I'll try to get into contact with some people from other groups and ask them," said Stella.146Please respect copyright.PENANAilO3yK3eR2
146Please respect copyright.PENANAI0Fujf0CmM
146Please respect copyright.PENANAwhLDJlFnpi
"There are other groups?" I asked.146Please respect copyright.PENANAZziov3QXIi

"You not only have to learn how to control your elements but also about the supernatural world," said Her Highness.146Please respect copyright.PENANAqLJAbdkNFG

"It seems so."146Please respect copyright.PENANAh6sM818r50
146Please respect copyright.PENANAEEvxmk8tWK
146Please respect copyright.PENANA5LZ6H4UvTw
"We also need to determine if you were born supernatural or not. As you continue your training, Ryan will help out with that."146Please respect copyright.PENANADUa6lEu16e
146Please respect copyright.PENANAUOhLjzF6wq

"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAfT2xFcU76W
146Please respect copyright.PENANAVaJExpRmpV
146Please respect copyright.PENANAu0ZlU8S5YA
"It won't be that complicated, will it?" I raised an eyebrow.146Please respect copyright.PENANA0GhJfCVFPG
146Please respect copyright.PENANAjf90u4eopU
146Please respect copyright.PENANAzgjFzaJP2o
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAYMdRNqpWWz
146Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ44GFRLtm
146Please respect copyright.PENANACEt5wnNAcb
I gulped. I agree with Ryan. If I had a descendant who was supernatural, it would be devastating for me mentally.146Please respect copyright.PENANAfFI60VN1Xk

"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANALPkt0Dnl9G
146Please respect copyright.PENANAgxWgsx2b2F
146Please respect copyright.PENANATlFCOSL8Db
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAL4tEpX79t0

"I certainly need to rest," I said. "Whenever I am ready, I'll make sure to let you know."146Please respect copyright.PENANArlYaw9WL7N

"You aren't scared, are you?" Ryan asked with his arms folded.146Please respect copyright.PENANAfyh1DcdjUk
146Please respect copyright.PENANAcAFqNidy7Q
146Please respect copyright.PENANAvHkaM0R7Bd
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANA8mYDFPu4rI

"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?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAx01iCQVDsD
146Please respect copyright.PENANACvdP8I0RvF
146Please respect copyright.PENANAsPJY5N8qNY
My insides started to shake. Is it almost similar to the exercise I did with the stones?146Please respect copyright.PENANANJTB3JF13F

"If I were you, Ariana, I would keep my mouth shut," said Camilla. "You're going to scare her even more."146Please respect copyright.PENANA5I9DEpfqN8
146Please respect copyright.PENANAN0Qm3DVA7t
146Please respect copyright.PENANAa9ENhaWcNB
"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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAoKG1LW4TSv

"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAvlVjhekEFZ
146Please respect copyright.PENANAQNnvi0A868
146Please respect copyright.PENANA3uLyAq50Fu
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAH76IPu9hXB
146Please respect copyright.PENANA6sAQIDDrgd
146Please respect copyright.PENANAsFqnSSsULK
I followed Stella and Ariana out of the main hall, while Her Highness and the others remained by the cherry blossom tree.146Please respect copyright.PENANAR8NlLEPmBD

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.146Please respect copyright.PENANACZBsS86gTg

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:146Please respect copyright.PENANAKbkS5wPduM
146Please respect copyright.PENANAHBUlQ1RnC3
146Please respect copyright.PENANAR2DVMfUE4d
"All that is up to you."146Please respect copyright.PENANA0eeG1FVqKS
146Please respect copyright.PENANARD4UDx6RiL
146Please respect copyright.PENANAoWjxS7gfsN
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAzjXcCOkP4l
146Please respect copyright.PENANASqMmiTPA3e
146Please respect copyright.PENANAugVSJAPZS1
Without further ado, I continued following Stella and Ariana, knowing that this path I'm on won't be all sunshine and rainbows.
