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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAWEALAGOFWm

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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAoPKhRiTMhL
143Please respect copyright.PENANAq1ptVRjYKM
143Please respect copyright.PENANAwffFikEBDx
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANATGvpucEfS3
143Please respect copyright.PENANA8DOTC83lsZ
143Please respect copyright.PENANAFjae5NouQb
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAHhlE0lWSeS
143Please respect copyright.PENANA3s0GzICFkf
143Please respect copyright.PENANAoxVhw3Amx5
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?143Please respect copyright.PENANAUM3VCaOrrE
143Please respect copyright.PENANAYpQBl9bJZb
143Please respect copyright.PENANAhWKScDpQOl
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?143Please respect copyright.PENANAWLahLGf0Bu
143Please respect copyright.PENANAa4BHDx1Ciw
143Please respect copyright.PENANAjZrlWrlfhW
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAheKs4gT1SQ
143Please respect copyright.PENANA4AHGdO0xPb
143Please respect copyright.PENANAND0nSYDsTF
"I told you to wait by the fountain, Diana," said Stella.143Please respect copyright.PENANAExEcEFnia2
143Please respect copyright.PENANAZWfK2VMCYV
143Please respect copyright.PENANAsQoAO3AqFC
"Well, I'm tired of waiting," I answered.143Please respect copyright.PENANARnpG3iGgyJ
143Please respect copyright.PENANA7stxkJNWdj
143Please respect copyright.PENANAL8XOmamyZK
"It's not our fault that Her Highness isn't here yet," said Ryan, raising his eyebrow at me.143Please respect copyright.PENANAN0bRStqROu
143Please respect copyright.PENANADpepqxE6rk
143Please respect copyright.PENANADBGTBJ3lMt
"Is this really a big deal?" I asked, drawing my right hand forward and revealing the orbs.143Please respect copyright.PENANATL6k66fzjm
143Please respect copyright.PENANAhccu6lsNnI
143Please respect copyright.PENANAnn4EObV8J5
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAEv2rbCUMDx
143Please respect copyright.PENANAez5fJvNHqF
143Please respect copyright.PENANAB6mJAcyj9x
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANAnRmMK12nUs
143Please respect copyright.PENANAc7olHftI3j
143Please respect copyright.PENANAq4jmxup46O
"I know you need answers," said Camila in her orange robe. "But we can't give them to you just yet."143Please respect copyright.PENANAAK9Nlj3xIB
143Please respect copyright.PENANAiF3B8QD20J
143Please respect copyright.PENANAlWM5wOHd13
"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.143Please respect copyright.PENANANNAL8AOkkZ
143Please respect copyright.PENANAr73hJlnuRS
143Please respect copyright.PENANAgBOAggcs0O
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANAVtwXh4Jb3c
143Please respect copyright.PENANArxXDDG2lzy
143Please respect copyright.PENANAiKCUCfQbHA
I felt a hand on my shoulder. Ariana had come to stand beside me, and she had a sad smile on her face.143Please respect copyright.PENANAolvsTN0ctw
143Please respect copyright.PENANARp12QvtOMq
143Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZaytEGYbE
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANAyzSCdaNgiI
143Please respect copyright.PENANA8bkUwW21RI
143Please respect copyright.PENANAjKPXuyd0dS
"What is it about me that you need to understand? I can't be that complicated, can I?"143Please respect copyright.PENANATrtfxm1QWN
143Please respect copyright.PENANA3dcRo0a8un
143Please respect copyright.PENANAOecePIJ8v6
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?143Please respect copyright.PENANApBMjrFGNfH
143Please respect copyright.PENANAaG66MDOQ7v
143Please respect copyright.PENANAmA2FqFb7wU
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANAUKEcrdhgKb
143Please respect copyright.PENANAcD4hZnfTy7
143Please respect copyright.PENANAfsQxX8uv9V
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAlVLd3MIWb9
143Please respect copyright.PENANAvTIIyLFYiu
143Please respect copyright.PENANAsfSWjnnDZN
"If you need me, I'll be at school," I said as I turned around and started heading out.143Please respect copyright.PENANACfFjIrZuj5
143Please respect copyright.PENANAlgX53NJvaW
143Please respect copyright.PENANAbDrpgfKghS
"You're a supernatural being, Diana," came Ryan's voice behind me.143Please respect copyright.PENANAnTrWO9JQBQ
143Please respect copyright.PENANAcoUxuFxgUk
143Please respect copyright.PENANAFFHgg3IUa8
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAn9oeJcOXeD
143Please respect copyright.PENANA2Gg44d3lWi
143Please respect copyright.PENANAkvXIxfYWhp
"For how long?" I asked.143Please respect copyright.PENANAafUrsW9MPt
143Please respect copyright.PENANA14bXvtyuID
143Please respect copyright.PENANAxI7Y7scGU3
There was an eerie feeling behind me, and I knew what I had asked made them feel uncomfortable. I turn around to face them.143Please respect copyright.PENANAnogJ9Rb7TB
143Please respect copyright.PENANA1OG4weAQ6g
143Please respect copyright.PENANAXkYXTXoEV4
"Did it happen when I died?" I asked. "And after my encounter with Death, all these abilities just happened to appear."143Please respect copyright.PENANAeivEhN52w1
143Please respect copyright.PENANA1bHooocHvM
143Please respect copyright.PENANATHr9AuTt84
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANAK7VQflJq3Y
143Please respect copyright.PENANA4YmphEPZms
143Please respect copyright.PENANA05GbYBVIWV
"And what if that isn't the case?" I asked.143Please respect copyright.PENANA2vjVJov4mu
143Please respect copyright.PENANAxVqKTrcs7z
143Please respect copyright.PENANAhgXXvuh9MT
"Then we will have to find the source of your power," Stella answered.143Please respect copyright.PENANAnDgd1EFrbS
143Please respect copyright.PENANAqWW0ljAmJ3
143Please respect copyright.PENANAHqlIFoHPVq
"Source? Isn't the power residing inside me?"143Please respect copyright.PENANAo2dSyw1BdQ
143Please respect copyright.PENANAEH3PvdNDsO
143Please respect copyright.PENANAmOeqanVIod
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANAzgcmKenhQr
143Please respect copyright.PENANADo1f8RpKil
143Please respect copyright.PENANAJCfgVqK41B
"So, what you're saying is that there's a possibility that I might have been supernatural before my meeting with Death?"143Please respect copyright.PENANA2JIX3juSbt
143Please respect copyright.PENANAoDmsxs6xll
143Please respect copyright.PENANA3k6HqditAN
"What we really mean to say is that it's possible you might actually have been born supernatural," said Mei.143Please respect copyright.PENANAgacA0ps3py
143Please respect copyright.PENANAjLo1FYg1vX
143Please respect copyright.PENANAU7o4klikP4
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANA4SAr5zLrhh
143Please respect copyright.PENANAgyix3yMDk2
143Please respect copyright.PENANAkZ4rXZD1T1
"Is that possible?" I asked. "No one in my family, as far as I know, is supernatural."143Please respect copyright.PENANAPxhV8kkz9p
143Please respect copyright.PENANAfs3sOqjg0u
143Please respect copyright.PENANATkAUVqvF2w
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANA3Hzw2PoCT3
143Please respect copyright.PENANAGw37QqPli0
143Please respect copyright.PENANAz49nIeRMVy
"Like a near-death situation," said Camila.143Please respect copyright.PENANAQSKIiRWb0l
143Please respect copyright.PENANAudRvjh15PP
143Please respect copyright.PENANA1Dfzvxz0Ww
I raised an eyebrow. "Wait," I said, my eyes starting to widen. "But I actually died. What does that mean?"143Please respect copyright.PENANAy56eeOH8os
143Please respect copyright.PENANA5HHkCv3pJg
143Please respect copyright.PENANAMDpBtzI7cS
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANAloeMR0z4s8
143Please respect copyright.PENANADHibUDY5jL
143Please respect copyright.PENANAubHqIq5LQq
"And to make things interesting," said Stella as she put up a little smile, "you can control all the six natural elements."143Please respect copyright.PENANAnyukD2kf8n
143Please respect copyright.PENANAtDX0k4A4Sq
143Please respect copyright.PENANAwS9aDFI9sY
"Are you telling me that there's no supernatural person in the world that can control all six?" I asked.143Please respect copyright.PENANA7FD98TGhfu
143Please respect copyright.PENANAVdmKpz6JEJ
143Please respect copyright.PENANAY45hl0xmMt
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANAL2HZEpC1gX
143Please respect copyright.PENANAyLX8kj2CWz
143Please respect copyright.PENANAJWub9dJ0ub
My jaw drops. Wait, if he can control five, then what about...143Please respect copyright.PENANAg9SHMm7TGJ
143Please respect copyright.PENANAM4znjaH4ZR
143Please respect copyright.PENANAMlsdG5Nq5d
"I, on the other hand, Diana, can control all the elements," came a gentle sing-song voice behind me.143Please respect copyright.PENANAUlc4SbZCGg
143Please respect copyright.PENANArWKZ4QGJ5R
143Please respect copyright.PENANA49vSNmovyU
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAhvsh1ses8o
143Please respect copyright.PENANAVuUmlplQPY
143Please respect copyright.PENANAT7C6MP9qgJ
"You can control all six elements?" I asked.143Please respect copyright.PENANAnm8oHzQRq4
143Please respect copyright.PENANAULGwaRaPgN
143Please respect copyright.PENANA7YPVbm7Msj
"Of course," she answered as she held out her hand. In her palm were six colourful orbs. Something didn't feel right.143Please respect copyright.PENANAc9fWx22HI3
143Please respect copyright.PENANAwZqG48OTV9
143Please respect copyright.PENANAXYsT9Wf3yX
"Wait," I said. "If you can control all six elements, don't you need to have the white and black orbs instead?"143Please respect copyright.PENANAeFLhwD4gV0
143Please respect copyright.PENANA0PZr7RuWtX
143Please respect copyright.PENANAAUN16O9hZ7
"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?"143Please respect copyright.PENANAYtTf3RAfOo
143Please respect copyright.PENANAwuaETb1rT4
143Please respect copyright.PENANA2D2evqoEI7
"To be honest, no," I said as I shook my head.143Please respect copyright.PENANATQA2IcDWjw
143Please respect copyright.PENANA3eLlw5oumo
143Please respect copyright.PENANAway6dOgDJf
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANAg1U8IQnp5H
143Please respect copyright.PENANA7DpEzmGb6O
143Please respect copyright.PENANAcSG7QrKR46
"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?143Please respect copyright.PENANARMXJnS89NY
143Please respect copyright.PENANA0SthMIcMS0
143Please respect copyright.PENANAW2EFhWfhm6
"It's a lot to take in," said Her Highness. "But once you know more about it, you'll understand."143Please respect copyright.PENANAgacHDolMDd
143Please respect copyright.PENANAjhtlRMukw7
143Please respect copyright.PENANASlubPMRNAl
"If two opposite sides complement each other, then do you mean one can't exist without the other?"143Please respect copyright.PENANArDQm3tOpVX
143Please respect copyright.PENANAebDrOtnCvC
143Please respect copyright.PENANAjA7mzxIhqw
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANAEz2ztjD8jD
143Please respect copyright.PENANA0HshtIL5px
143Please respect copyright.PENANAfEYgsdjyQm
"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?"143Please respect copyright.PENANA4qiXvSMcbJ
143Please respect copyright.PENANA2Uq24qzUX4
143Please respect copyright.PENANA7neHNQg89a
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAhGyTvb3rBm
143Please respect copyright.PENANADcwVY1iH7R
143Please respect copyright.PENANA3tJU2pZC7v
"Ah, well, this is where things get really complicated," she managed to answer.143Please respect copyright.PENANAKXZ0dco54j
143Please respect copyright.PENANAzICShqA116
143Please respect copyright.PENANAOHWaUtQIye
"I've just been told that I'm supernatural," I said. "My life couldn't get any more complicated than that."143Please respect copyright.PENANALeFmhXtJAp
143Please respect copyright.PENANAvWiyDOpQ0b
143Please respect copyright.PENANAXhXCrv5PtQ
"She's right for once," said Ryan, behind me. I almost turned around to give him a piece of my mind.143Please respect copyright.PENANAt6GjSBNA9P
143Please respect copyright.PENANAr5grmLDdxF
143Please respect copyright.PENANA58shvW1o9W
"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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAqiPDzCQAuu
143Please respect copyright.PENANAmXFR898LRr
143Please respect copyright.PENANAi5KwrY5gyr
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAZXfbtcBXxT
143Please respect copyright.PENANAWKler5yfbm
143Please respect copyright.PENANAlhZAXEY432
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?143Please respect copyright.PENANAXTtxjrEE0r
143Please respect copyright.PENANAEOt0v96NOV
143Please respect copyright.PENANANmQ0lxPR9O
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANA6GhxfiMiRp
143Please respect copyright.PENANAz8BHTEWBpo
143Please respect copyright.PENANAzjg8r8oUDv
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANA9S1vvm7oLE
143Please respect copyright.PENANAChj7RngXiI
143Please respect copyright.PENANAEdIUP7xGQ7
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAXrGkCj7VCn
143Please respect copyright.PENANAeOTe3GkruH
143Please respect copyright.PENANAITGSwkTfne
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANAIBLNjSpaPn
143Please respect copyright.PENANAvazexi6Kfv
143Please respect copyright.PENANAf7p7joewXh
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANA0YcaBmaooB
143Please respect copyright.PENANAtwbhGvGP6f
143Please respect copyright.PENANAF40eeGH21X
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANAqzUMe3qRTO
143Please respect copyright.PENANAjTEz7z1FBT
143Please respect copyright.PENANASTPQ4UgBfN
"Wait." I raised an eyebrow. "Are you saying I can't control it yet?"143Please respect copyright.PENANApij6Qn8dWI
143Please respect copyright.PENANAApeFGCK5Hp
143Please respect copyright.PENANA7gux6peT1P
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANAMj3HIrawI5
143Please respect copyright.PENANATRWzkhqGk4
143Please respect copyright.PENANAvLnW1SQJeW
"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?"143Please respect copyright.PENANA4Mi07UZTdZ
143Please respect copyright.PENANAtSzJQGaWy9
143Please respect copyright.PENANAqTuzHAILGY
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANACYsD0F5wy6
143Please respect copyright.PENANA6LTqJ2Rkbc
143Please respect copyright.PENANAj1Xx4jv26r

143Please respect copyright.PENANA6REuixQ4KH
143Please respect copyright.PENANAfVUT1l8wZk
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANAAXRYMbjiiy
143Please respect copyright.PENANAjRe5SDC92M
143Please respect copyright.PENANAYzSFQQYK9s
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANA158cnjxYJX
143Please respect copyright.PENANAojWMwR0nVa
143Please respect copyright.PENANA4BxpYuRHys
"So, the people who also had this ability of Yin and Yang, did they ever come to master its power?" I asked.143Please respect copyright.PENANAR1QwizkaGF
143Please respect copyright.PENANAbzFQU6J9fE
143Please respect copyright.PENANAWXAkL0yQQt
I must have asked a tough question again because I felt everyone's eyes on me, this time with more intent.143Please respect copyright.PENANATH00zeFJ7Z
143Please respect copyright.PENANATHCDHiM7jb
143Please respect copyright.PENANANDDXNFJM0w
"Well, that's a pretty tough question," said Stella.143Please respect copyright.PENANAEvwjEngEZN
143Please respect copyright.PENANAglXTqMZOYi
143Please respect copyright.PENANAkKnvs1cYTN
"Don't worry, it's what she does best, asking questions," said Ryan behind me.143Please respect copyright.PENANAwUVgGXOuK7
143Please respect copyright.PENANAiAP5pu2UhC
143Please respect copyright.PENANAlHKjhpZ4Vo
I almost turned around to hiss at him like an angry cat. Instead, I stood still, controlling the sudden urge to.143Please respect copyright.PENANAhf63gkgS2q
143Please respect copyright.PENANA9k4nXAiWWo
143Please respect copyright.PENANAGCOTuvITzU
"This situation is a pretty rare occurrence," said Her Highness. "You'll have to ask the Immortals of Old over that."143Please respect copyright.PENANADPF4gprYKz
143Please respect copyright.PENANA6HzoViK2EQ
143Please respect copyright.PENANAJfcwBjNOg7
"Who are they?"143Please respect copyright.PENANAAsNbft9CJ3
143Please respect copyright.PENANARMMtZzDSWq
143Please respect copyright.PENANAVdeDF6iHOn
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANAkdgCTPMLfn
143Please respect copyright.PENANAwh9oc0qKZw
143Please respect copyright.PENANAOVscGAcJ5R
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANA1hVu5Qj9sU
143Please respect copyright.PENANAwq5aOPoQ0t

"Okay, but how do I get into contact with them?" I asked.143Please respect copyright.PENANAWtGndjF5R6
143Please respect copyright.PENANAnOxRshyLkr
143Please respect copyright.PENANAnBrE4210hj
"For someone who asks a lot, I didn't expect you to be this ambitious," said Ryan.143Please respect copyright.PENANAiVdRrZD2Nu

"I would throw a fireball at you," I finally snapped, turning to look at him.143Please respect copyright.PENANAxSKZNhamkG

"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?143Please respect copyright.PENANA7XsvEtZRS2
143Please respect copyright.PENANAhZDaodFAOc
143Please respect copyright.PENANADDxwtWWF8Z
"But what's so wrong with getting into contact with them?" I asked. "It can't be that hard, can it?"143Please respect copyright.PENANAtX9aYhqap8
143Please respect copyright.PENANAzEjqefUXJw
143Please respect copyright.PENANA6tmnvz32tC
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAvyuibbQXYZ
143Please respect copyright.PENANASlzwdQzBEP
143Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6vZuCK71e
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?143Please respect copyright.PENANAM6zpegvRv0
143Please respect copyright.PENANAWIj1oywMDX
143Please respect copyright.PENANAYJTUD7uwqL
"It doesn't matter; I'll try to get into contact with some people from other groups and ask them," said Stella.143Please respect copyright.PENANA0XqU86FLvA
143Please respect copyright.PENANAWh3czYlBTr
143Please respect copyright.PENANA54wBCriXjD
"There are other groups?" I asked.143Please respect copyright.PENANABCJzv8lUR2
143Please respect copyright.PENANArMPLXGND8I
143Please respect copyright.PENANAx2k0BaxmwP
"You not only have to learn how to control your elements but also about the supernatural world," said Her Highness.143Please respect copyright.PENANA0m6RdzPBKd
143Please respect copyright.PENANAFmoQuynCx4
143Please respect copyright.PENANAy30jLm2YSN
"It seems so."143Please respect copyright.PENANAcXJCb3KDYO
143Please respect copyright.PENANA4yyldMe7eG
143Please respect copyright.PENANAhs4lsMUwMa
"We also need to determine if you were born supernatural or not. As you continue your training, Ryan will help out with that."143Please respect copyright.PENANADKHkcSPmkG
143Please respect copyright.PENANAAZ8bndJRTb
143Please respect copyright.PENANA5HVY2JCBc0
"Is it really necessary?"143Please respect copyright.PENANA8JAWqiaoXo
143Please respect copyright.PENANAzr9kTh1zR6
143Please respect copyright.PENANAlmm1IlHF58
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANAGqdOuhrnxz
143Please respect copyright.PENANA7mQNoycG3D
143Please respect copyright.PENANAZZDO6fBkMI
"It won't be that complicated, will it?" I raised an eyebrow.143Please respect copyright.PENANA5R8f2PDf68
143Please respect copyright.PENANAjmRmUMolCE
143Please respect copyright.PENANA9WGuF7v58y
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANA4isj6nQM9p
143Please respect copyright.PENANAwNmW4DdGjC
143Please respect copyright.PENANA5eRZzanlT4
I gulped. I agree with Ryan. If I had a descendant who was supernatural, it would be devastating for me mentally.143Please respect copyright.PENANAYZbxtf9xcb
143Please respect copyright.PENANA4sEvxuPatT
143Please respect copyright.PENANAlhGTK1v5B3
"Do we have to do this now?" I asked.143Please respect copyright.PENANAyelHxWURAA

"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANAauTXranI8v
143Please respect copyright.PENANAaPQaO6250Q
143Please respect copyright.PENANAZhvbXyJmgP
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAEEsdh6o2k1
143Please respect copyright.PENANADGyYJKXeb5
143Please respect copyright.PENANA7Tckz25GtH
"I certainly need to rest," I said. "Whenever I am ready, I'll make sure to let you know."143Please respect copyright.PENANA4wl2KSUbsB
143Please respect copyright.PENANAcZhXiozx6j
143Please respect copyright.PENANA5T2pRhocp4
"You aren't scared, are you?" Ryan asked with his arms folded.143Please respect copyright.PENANA7HqfmdnVfC
143Please respect copyright.PENANAj0gustWAD7
143Please respect copyright.PENANArCM9adHfah
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAIWHd14TGMf
143Please respect copyright.PENANAiPfyDrZnSE
143Please respect copyright.PENANA0xoq6nSYEF
"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?"143Please respect copyright.PENANAgXKStvcvrz
143Please respect copyright.PENANAU4dD3b58CE
143Please respect copyright.PENANAwb84f43WXo
My insides started to shake. Is it almost similar to the exercise I did with the stones?143Please respect copyright.PENANAq9kQ4ASd9n
143Please respect copyright.PENANAajoINFAIsN

"If I were you, Ariana, I would keep my mouth shut," said Camilla. "You're going to scare her even more."143Please respect copyright.PENANAqGyCDXLyWW
143Please respect copyright.PENANA2GYw4uWIeN
143Please respect copyright.PENANAHADs2U3X4r
"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.143Please respect copyright.PENANARVCg8A1N9Q
143Please respect copyright.PENANAAJO3H8tPct
143Please respect copyright.PENANAXA8h0FH2sc
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANApDEB19W3Q2
143Please respect copyright.PENANA4E1GDkmKfJ
143Please respect copyright.PENANAkHGGFrjhdl
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAVcu1nkteHQ
143Please respect copyright.PENANAog4KpDNQYh
143Please respect copyright.PENANAGMDbhGlw2G
I followed Stella and Ariana out of the main hall, while Her Highness and the others remained by the cherry blossom tree.143Please respect copyright.PENANAW590w5vazD

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.143Please respect copyright.PENANApNQzsIgnci

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:143Please respect copyright.PENANAb7kormxQPD
143Please respect copyright.PENANAEjupAgsIq4
143Please respect copyright.PENANAUwYuNt4NTk
"All that is up to you."143Please respect copyright.PENANA19ZWszaPhj
143Please respect copyright.PENANAZrDRso7UT3
143Please respect copyright.PENANAtgHiCCpYxM
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAGovkDcOLXo
143Please respect copyright.PENANAFJVAwWXTcu
143Please respect copyright.PENANAVMDAfzBGQv
Without further ado, I continued following Stella and Ariana, knowing that this path I'm on won't be all sunshine and rainbows.
