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.124Please respect copyright.PENANAzDGoPEvr9r

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.124Please respect copyright.PENANAImqu3vaVzI
124Please respect copyright.PENANAnSZtJgVOck
124Please respect copyright.PENANAioAzVLtVN3
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.124Please respect copyright.PENANApufYLw5ctx
124Please respect copyright.PENANADZdSedMwcg
124Please respect copyright.PENANAY7CMCW52my
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.124Please respect copyright.PENANATHaBLo7q3N
124Please respect copyright.PENANAZYx6o8yPLJ
124Please respect copyright.PENANATZLGmDRDry
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?124Please respect copyright.PENANABtE9U6KmFr
124Please respect copyright.PENANAvPO5X4kU5z
124Please respect copyright.PENANAxU6yRRDWYU
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?124Please respect copyright.PENANAGKwCri2fsq
124Please respect copyright.PENANA7BLS8DkmNL
124Please respect copyright.PENANA32vDfceUZb
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.124Please respect copyright.PENANAHNRPOLB4n2
124Please respect copyright.PENANAkBbgiSXD2w
124Please respect copyright.PENANAVnf3DVSMp1
"I told you to wait by the fountain, Diana," said Stella.124Please respect copyright.PENANAyWsGUHRAMY
124Please respect copyright.PENANA1O2Jt6joW1
124Please respect copyright.PENANAVGHFzmhsLX
"Well, I'm tired of waiting," I answered.124Please respect copyright.PENANAJMqI11dR6f
124Please respect copyright.PENANAVFMxq3rwKz
124Please respect copyright.PENANAZeMpcBLYXb
"It's not our fault that Her Highness isn't here yet," said Ryan, raising his eyebrow at me.124Please respect copyright.PENANAa3ZX2P2Gjh
124Please respect copyright.PENANAzfmSI4GNi3
124Please respect copyright.PENANAPS0doLGOz4
"Is this really a big deal?" I asked, drawing my right hand forward and revealing the orbs.124Please respect copyright.PENANAoMrPYeKdqx
124Please respect copyright.PENANA3moPzJlXYg
124Please respect copyright.PENANAIvCeluNlFu
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.124Please respect copyright.PENANAVGd2zk4pn8
124Please respect copyright.PENANAI8j10jUx8M
124Please respect copyright.PENANAidnB75K8oi
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANASW0WyVNcgG
124Please respect copyright.PENANAzJMmb89mvv
124Please respect copyright.PENANAesH52k492w
"I know you need answers," said Camila in her orange robe. "But we can't give them to you just yet."124Please respect copyright.PENANA8PeKukgbWF
124Please respect copyright.PENANApA3kGGKTsL
124Please respect copyright.PENANAWuowNipqnF
"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.124Please respect copyright.PENANABHbSnJjE8z
124Please respect copyright.PENANAIUUdvKEBiv
124Please respect copyright.PENANAext63yuMD9
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANA8z1NvmokMn
124Please respect copyright.PENANATUV5hmzXOW
124Please respect copyright.PENANAnNS0MCxD9D
I felt a hand on my shoulder. Ariana had come to stand beside me, and she had a sad smile on her face.124Please respect copyright.PENANAVLZfgsTUUV
124Please respect copyright.PENANAZwZZjLijFg
124Please respect copyright.PENANAQb6e3N5R03
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANA5Jbbz6YWJ5
124Please respect copyright.PENANAuabxD2T6On
124Please respect copyright.PENANAVDGIaeFuwN
"What is it about me that you need to understand? I can't be that complicated, can I?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAw1NVvnVPJF
124Please respect copyright.PENANA6yhNP07QVf
124Please respect copyright.PENANAOXtZfo8dFE
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?124Please respect copyright.PENANAp3x4RotUtT
124Please respect copyright.PENANAXVWVQg1OQr
124Please respect copyright.PENANAR7ALgW4kgc
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANAAiTkwZKq9h
124Please respect copyright.PENANAPtwNtjpUKE
124Please respect copyright.PENANAJBuC2uq9U2
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.124Please respect copyright.PENANATc4GdcC5Ud
124Please respect copyright.PENANA8GDtjscy2X
124Please respect copyright.PENANABF5EpyObdN
"If you need me, I'll be at school," I said as I turned around and started heading out.124Please respect copyright.PENANAOwM1gho7n5
124Please respect copyright.PENANA5YQKWdlujR
124Please respect copyright.PENANAKXRWKzHKiJ
"You're a supernatural being, Diana," came Ryan's voice behind me.124Please respect copyright.PENANAyvtqwCOf8F
124Please respect copyright.PENANASPYWDaohEH
124Please respect copyright.PENANA0xpPi02NtJ
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.124Please respect copyright.PENANASzyJic3BT3
124Please respect copyright.PENANAMRMcgKXhWs
124Please respect copyright.PENANAy5oVtzjUFp
"For how long?" I asked.124Please respect copyright.PENANAdnLFXMivNs
124Please respect copyright.PENANArkGUPG9Tml
124Please respect copyright.PENANA1CI2We9Moi
There was an eerie feeling behind me, and I knew what I had asked made them feel uncomfortable. I turn around to face them.124Please respect copyright.PENANAp7TS6ggDze
124Please respect copyright.PENANAc6ZiRrqHXe
124Please respect copyright.PENANAzj2mNj5ege
"Did it happen when I died?" I asked. "And after my encounter with Death, all these abilities just happened to appear."124Please respect copyright.PENANARTCWJmzJpP
124Please respect copyright.PENANAcqp0tpGmRI
124Please respect copyright.PENANAvCb3oUU3AW
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANAwaWinzn3gi
124Please respect copyright.PENANACSF0fBOSru
124Please respect copyright.PENANAaHcp7r7veM
"And what if that isn't the case?" I asked.124Please respect copyright.PENANArpnrhVmYdP
124Please respect copyright.PENANAlAL5LfQP9Y
124Please respect copyright.PENANAI0FySqMLxT
"Then we will have to find the source of your power," Stella answered.124Please respect copyright.PENANAqHKUe81rUE
124Please respect copyright.PENANAp12838SKHF
124Please respect copyright.PENANAXj8JSgsuga
"Source? Isn't the power residing inside me?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAKHS3KyfHk0
124Please respect copyright.PENANAtvZ7G4WqbG
124Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ek8NBfR1H
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANAVB2Jo8HK6l
124Please respect copyright.PENANA0HoNbD4ESn
124Please respect copyright.PENANAm30vyG8y03
"So, what you're saying is that there's a possibility that I might have been supernatural before my meeting with Death?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAoOlmLETG1a
124Please respect copyright.PENANAQw6pV9hJWJ
124Please respect copyright.PENANAaz7e4UVjCc
"What we really mean to say is that it's possible you might actually have been born supernatural," said Mei.124Please respect copyright.PENANAX88iZN5IkZ
124Please respect copyright.PENANAgzt4S17eVg
124Please respect copyright.PENANA5yRjgSXSH1
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.124Please respect copyright.PENANAcCkRx6TnGm
124Please respect copyright.PENANASofZ7fCNyv
124Please respect copyright.PENANA9euZAh3axg
"Is that possible?" I asked. "No one in my family, as far as I know, is supernatural."124Please respect copyright.PENANANQccmySTxP
124Please respect copyright.PENANA43wq6JKS41
124Please respect copyright.PENANAw8TmvPHQZN
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANAqoxdUdGEVi
124Please respect copyright.PENANAYF0eLpqzBt
124Please respect copyright.PENANAaiThb2HA2s
"Like a near-death situation," said Camila.124Please respect copyright.PENANALN8Xrqe9fn
124Please respect copyright.PENANAh438sYhB25
124Please respect copyright.PENANAA1MTFVx2AJ
I raised an eyebrow. "Wait," I said, my eyes starting to widen. "But I actually died. What does that mean?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAyIPLAfPGX2
124Please respect copyright.PENANAeh37nu5oy6
124Please respect copyright.PENANAW1LlyP82lj
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANA5d9WFocNaS
124Please respect copyright.PENANAIfw9ge80VU
124Please respect copyright.PENANAeIiVc2pQ2c
"And to make things interesting," said Stella as she put up a little smile, "you can control all the six natural elements."124Please respect copyright.PENANABs8JsKZOgG
124Please respect copyright.PENANA5v90wxpZZ7
124Please respect copyright.PENANANR2domMjjK
"Are you telling me that there's no supernatural person in the world that can control all six?" I asked.124Please respect copyright.PENANArlom8v8JnU
124Please respect copyright.PENANAjPZt6bM88n
124Please respect copyright.PENANAQBgIRjGc4C
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANAwjQJ9avBxo
124Please respect copyright.PENANA71Sd5I8WxO
124Please respect copyright.PENANARj8SpUqqol
My jaw drops. Wait, if he can control five, then what about...124Please respect copyright.PENANAeyH6y3a2S7
124Please respect copyright.PENANAmUROBBgZ3B
124Please respect copyright.PENANA0jAeuik1vD
"I, on the other hand, Diana, can control all the elements," came a gentle sing-song voice behind me.124Please respect copyright.PENANAvtFDpz68oh
124Please respect copyright.PENANAGJUhYvAh2E
124Please respect copyright.PENANAaW3XebZ5Ib
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.124Please respect copyright.PENANAocchXHLRPf
124Please respect copyright.PENANApE7bY6GrjB
124Please respect copyright.PENANACVNjLbNPXG
"You can control all six elements?" I asked.124Please respect copyright.PENANAPnFg0xxjjn
124Please respect copyright.PENANAa8Q30kebmB
124Please respect copyright.PENANAROIrN7LqrO
"Of course," she answered as she held out her hand. In her palm were six colourful orbs. Something didn't feel right.124Please respect copyright.PENANAYZW9Qg4BTZ
124Please respect copyright.PENANAjHSPYNGfpT
124Please respect copyright.PENANAaAs6vE3BGY
"Wait," I said. "If you can control all six elements, don't you need to have the white and black orbs instead?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAQTiJymGN5E
124Please respect copyright.PENANAaGWzWTuJVe
124Please respect copyright.PENANAPIYMmagZNA
"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?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAZDwVxAW654
124Please respect copyright.PENANAxzNsIhAlLi
124Please respect copyright.PENANAD9xZZbPacJ
"To be honest, no," I said as I shook my head.124Please respect copyright.PENANAFtay4nvv0K
124Please respect copyright.PENANAFuD8xakXVD
124Please respect copyright.PENANAowpfJhC6AN
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANAOSSDjnvKCp
124Please respect copyright.PENANAcwHEMfrWtg
124Please respect copyright.PENANACUq1ZSws2S
"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?124Please respect copyright.PENANAC6tHI2mhhO
124Please respect copyright.PENANA4CDmBspNc0
124Please respect copyright.PENANAkKmHjMSKp8
"It's a lot to take in," said Her Highness. "But once you know more about it, you'll understand."124Please respect copyright.PENANAsxVe03KrEO
124Please respect copyright.PENANATwas4K763M
124Please respect copyright.PENANATCtY4Y3U8M
"If two opposite sides complement each other, then do you mean one can't exist without the other?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAoNpgVriw0M
124Please respect copyright.PENANApRbjDm0Rf5
124Please respect copyright.PENANAdOmmJ4SEZD
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANAtmEkU4B985
124Please respect copyright.PENANAVZTBTCB73P
124Please respect copyright.PENANATpRL99zcX0
"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?"124Please respect copyright.PENANATkCY1UQ1Fx
124Please respect copyright.PENANAl4odjzQtvR
124Please respect copyright.PENANAyAfDnPX9oJ
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.124Please respect copyright.PENANAT63tCgBLho
124Please respect copyright.PENANA33nHK39KDu
124Please respect copyright.PENANAHytRPdUwwq
"Ah, well, this is where things get really complicated," she managed to answer.124Please respect copyright.PENANAC1c0FqjdlQ
124Please respect copyright.PENANAefkGv41cfM
124Please respect copyright.PENANAwJ8A9f0tJl
"I've just been told that I'm supernatural," I said. "My life couldn't get any more complicated than that."124Please respect copyright.PENANALotdtdBtjR
124Please respect copyright.PENANAE1jpYiY8pO
124Please respect copyright.PENANA2BmIiX9Xs3
"She's right for once," said Ryan, behind me. I almost turned around to give him a piece of my mind.124Please respect copyright.PENANAOe6GBDfV8r
124Please respect copyright.PENANADECvU61cDe
124Please respect copyright.PENANAYaHOHLXvpp
"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.124Please respect copyright.PENANAOpY5Fx1wIP
124Please respect copyright.PENANAaIAQubKXEX
124Please respect copyright.PENANAZbWe8ZcXHQ
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.124Please respect copyright.PENANAjKQLxx6FBz
124Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6eshfmX3J
124Please respect copyright.PENANALvECmxIAAz
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?124Please respect copyright.PENANAe4RO7bgfZZ
124Please respect copyright.PENANAYUs3c62C0X
124Please respect copyright.PENANA9yK4YISGnX
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANAbrssLAZfW9
124Please respect copyright.PENANAhdLO70gVWr
124Please respect copyright.PENANADmBqB2aPm0
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANAsc7OhCvVgA
124Please respect copyright.PENANAxRu1hHGpDz
124Please respect copyright.PENANAqbZGa8mG6w
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.124Please respect copyright.PENANALdAcVfPaKg
124Please respect copyright.PENANAwBQ9NyXvaz
124Please respect copyright.PENANAGxuDFagqkC
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANA1WppUtsmMw
124Please respect copyright.PENANA0HeYbjiWnC
124Please respect copyright.PENANAjcyWDlDL99
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.124Please respect copyright.PENANA8i9qTflVnd
124Please respect copyright.PENANAlQGLXtENbk
124Please respect copyright.PENANAmCCtP7LafV
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANAG4ZsAPHPid
124Please respect copyright.PENANAELCBD0PRdh
124Please respect copyright.PENANAQk9FxUwkLH
"Wait." I raised an eyebrow. "Are you saying I can't control it yet?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAhj1QcR1rjs
124Please respect copyright.PENANABIzcLXmxZ3
124Please respect copyright.PENANA8tCZikm7mL
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANAqm6tTTR03q
124Please respect copyright.PENANAWcFw0itJ7k
124Please respect copyright.PENANAjAvRmZjiB1
"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?"124Please respect copyright.PENANA76wafb6dPl
124Please respect copyright.PENANAGfW2X0ge82
124Please respect copyright.PENANA6X3sY6AO7v
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANAqWjxWCOI7C
124Please respect copyright.PENANAJIs08hFaMd
124Please respect copyright.PENANA3gnexhmHph

124Please respect copyright.PENANA7b7FDAQqgl
124Please respect copyright.PENANA1j3zjn8ilv
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANAbxB8Cb5l4z
124Please respect copyright.PENANAsZnzlaPgE7
124Please respect copyright.PENANAxhnOmY5Rkw
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.124Please respect copyright.PENANAybBSTaKsHz
124Please respect copyright.PENANAkzI7jx38R7
124Please respect copyright.PENANAqX2QJAAmoC
"So, the people who also had this ability of Yin and Yang, did they ever come to master its power?" I asked.124Please respect copyright.PENANAzTui9BRHDC
124Please respect copyright.PENANAkP23RsS6cz
124Please respect copyright.PENANAKY0YoWgjki
I must have asked a tough question again because I felt everyone's eyes on me, this time with more intent.124Please respect copyright.PENANAwsUU1Cd14d
124Please respect copyright.PENANAGX2HmqKlvs
124Please respect copyright.PENANAIYbVapMnu9
"Well, that's a pretty tough question," said Stella.124Please respect copyright.PENANAXuwaofCMJv
124Please respect copyright.PENANAvwtKthJQnR
124Please respect copyright.PENANAnuMWnJRcHZ
"Don't worry, it's what she does best, asking questions," said Ryan behind me.124Please respect copyright.PENANAdCZE2QFVUJ
124Please respect copyright.PENANAAGVQxRkfaE
124Please respect copyright.PENANAM29Tgd3bmZ
I almost turned around to hiss at him like an angry cat. Instead, I stood still, controlling the sudden urge to.124Please respect copyright.PENANASuwd7OrXc9
124Please respect copyright.PENANACUFNf9LgCX
124Please respect copyright.PENANAdOAnRtPhwm
"This situation is a pretty rare occurrence," said Her Highness. "You'll have to ask the Immortals of Old over that."124Please respect copyright.PENANAorfxfnbjFV
124Please respect copyright.PENANAtjiT8WZzau
124Please respect copyright.PENANA764YRJ9svK

124Please respect copyright.PENANAZd5bVX9S3Z
124Please respect copyright.PENANAexqdumHdwx
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANAKAW0W4PiXS
124Please respect copyright.PENANAtEtToqykAP
124Please respect copyright.PENANAXCSV4J8S6b
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANAVH2T9n5yET
124Please respect copyright.PENANASInFcB8ivn

"Okay, but how do I get into contact with them?" I asked.124Please respect copyright.PENANAyNm3fG8N0J
124Please respect copyright.PENANA3uX5WbqEJk
124Please respect copyright.PENANAJemz0zaTrC
"For someone who asks a lot, I didn't expect you to be this ambitious," said Ryan.124Please respect copyright.PENANA4vLACBerMI

"I would throw a fireball at you," I finally snapped, turning to look at him.124Please respect copyright.PENANAfHL5fMeozM

"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?124Please respect copyright.PENANA5BYayKXNZ0
124Please respect copyright.PENANAGISiu7iYhT
124Please respect copyright.PENANAegG9hMK84N
"But what's so wrong with getting into contact with them?" I asked. "It can't be that hard, can it?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAUMpI883OHQ
124Please respect copyright.PENANAY2RkcfmNby
124Please respect copyright.PENANANVVdS9XauZ
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.124Please respect copyright.PENANAGGNgCcfgfF
124Please respect copyright.PENANABXYrmd3MrZ
124Please respect copyright.PENANA7TCSv8r3WJ
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?124Please respect copyright.PENANAbympPYHdVV
124Please respect copyright.PENANALmqgSDwYeR
124Please respect copyright.PENANAWj4SEIWMH7
"It doesn't matter; I'll try to get into contact with some people from other groups and ask them," said Stella.124Please respect copyright.PENANAQGOt5ns8CO
124Please respect copyright.PENANAK22bKSvZMh
124Please respect copyright.PENANApMJEubv8Sy
"There are other groups?" I asked.124Please respect copyright.PENANAx4BIYxqukS
124Please respect copyright.PENANAt8M3vahtGW

"You not only have to learn how to control your elements but also about the supernatural world," said Her Highness.124Please respect copyright.PENANA3itlEDbGrf
124Please respect copyright.PENANAeK79EIqYEE
124Please respect copyright.PENANAPe220zWp7Z
"It seems so."124Please respect copyright.PENANAjZbbWelhkl
124Please respect copyright.PENANA47bZOX79td
124Please respect copyright.PENANAhE7bstakIC
"We also need to determine if you were born supernatural or not. As you continue your training, Ryan will help out with that."124Please respect copyright.PENANAaQl3ttLXVR
124Please respect copyright.PENANAI86kebkOnD
124Please respect copyright.PENANAUM7mXbxnHd
"Is it really necessary?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAcHzXIyEZb9
124Please respect copyright.PENANA6l4iICI4Ru
124Please respect copyright.PENANAhhYEFsrrl1
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANAIdX6Y1MxOd
124Please respect copyright.PENANAZJPlKr4a0k
124Please respect copyright.PENANACeNwHsKoKD
"It won't be that complicated, will it?" I raised an eyebrow.124Please respect copyright.PENANAq6oek7aYwN
124Please respect copyright.PENANAoh0JtrJ0vh
124Please respect copyright.PENANAVXPzTekeSb
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANATf7ToGM7IR
124Please respect copyright.PENANAPissagX41L
124Please respect copyright.PENANAcCk9FRhJRQ
I gulped. I agree with Ryan. If I had a descendant who was supernatural, it would be devastating for me mentally.124Please respect copyright.PENANAxq6eurieJJ
124Please respect copyright.PENANAsdf84fgVLW
124Please respect copyright.PENANADeqEY8CIbm
"Do we have to do this now?" I asked.124Please respect copyright.PENANAiKsi7ny2yC

"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANAHzJIu213aM
124Please respect copyright.PENANA93NF5J5VOE
124Please respect copyright.PENANASG9hiNXZLb
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.124Please respect copyright.PENANAQAZXk4MwKZ
124Please respect copyright.PENANAy80grzNkvV

"I certainly need to rest," I said. "Whenever I am ready, I'll make sure to let you know."124Please respect copyright.PENANAJDpFbRFKyp

"You aren't scared, are you?" Ryan asked with his arms folded.124Please respect copyright.PENANAlG3jn0JVUy
124Please respect copyright.PENANA9ms4oHEI9X
124Please respect copyright.PENANATLAkGVayHD
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.124Please respect copyright.PENANAh6nAmY0NtB

"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?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAPufkYIuRaQ
124Please respect copyright.PENANAYmIpabPn3o
124Please respect copyright.PENANASHsPMubAx5
My insides started to shake. Is it almost similar to the exercise I did with the stones?124Please respect copyright.PENANAtAtCvnFpbH

"If I were you, Ariana, I would keep my mouth shut," said Camilla. "You're going to scare her even more."124Please respect copyright.PENANA9kcSoVUhJN
124Please respect copyright.PENANAovCrbeqz69
124Please respect copyright.PENANAhbSVk5mPHS
"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.124Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1ursl6S2I
124Please respect copyright.PENANAR95S3uRLbg
124Please respect copyright.PENANANCmy9gAXfO
"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."124Please respect copyright.PENANAyOzooLTsXj
124Please respect copyright.PENANAs5vDh1AVSA
124Please respect copyright.PENANAufZDp5bqku
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.124Please respect copyright.PENANAXaYhzscVSn
124Please respect copyright.PENANAm5Ze25IBQA
124Please respect copyright.PENANA3NFYour8bW
I followed Stella and Ariana out of the main hall, while Her Highness and the others remained by the cherry blossom tree.124Please respect copyright.PENANAH10Q0MCrsP

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.124Please respect copyright.PENANAtQ8GoO9NUP

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:124Please respect copyright.PENANAb9AZCGGEMg
124Please respect copyright.PENANAcZhEJVTzXI
124Please respect copyright.PENANAEamu2Gkgz8
"All that is up to you."124Please respect copyright.PENANA1XomA1zZJg
124Please respect copyright.PENANAhpeNIlVI93
124Please respect copyright.PENANANdGGSDsWLO
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.124Please respect copyright.PENANAwbec6gjIuI
124Please respect copyright.PENANAa2AV2rlFAa
124Please respect copyright.PENANAKq5GKItvgX
Without further ado, I continued following Stella and Ariana, knowing that this path I'm on won't be all sunshine and rainbows.
