The Secrets of The Soul Wanderer (In

Chapter 15

I groggily woke up, my jeans cut into my waist by something sharp in my pocket. I took it out and it was the wolf carving Zoe had given me, I put it on my bedside table it fit into the aesthetic of the room very well.
The sun wasn't up yet, I forgot to close the curtains but I did see that it was dawn. In the distance I saw a small herd of red deer there was a large buck with two does, they nibbled at the grasses and shoots in the meadow. Opening the window I was greeted to the sound of songbirds, it was so calming, but short lived because of the cold.
I got my suitcase open and unpacked my clothes into the wardrobe. Thinking I was the only one awake, I heard footsteps walk downstairs. With my curious mind drifting into 'not your business' territory, I laid down on the bed getting myself warm under the heavy duvet.
I took a few deep breaths and then I was hovering over my body, following the footsteps. Thinking it was Reggie, but no it was Marvin. He saw me, Soul Wandering he smiled and quietly said, "so you can do it, fascinating stuff. Come with me, it's time for you to meet our people."
We exited the house, careful not to wake anyone. Wherever we were going it was borderline too far for me, but we stopped and Marvin pointed towards the horizon above the treeline. There were three large winged figures, I knew they were Marvin's people also known as Knights.
They gracefully landed in silence, they were all wearing a sort of traditional robe that was cream coloured with pictures of a white tiger, golden eagle and sapphire dragon.
Marvin cleared his throat, saying "brothers it has come to our attention that we have, a sister. She is not only a new Knight, but a Soul Wanderer." I saw the three Knights make a deep bow. They kept a distance from us which was annoying, because I wanted to see them clearly.
The three Knights rose from their bows. I noticed that all three of them had white features, including their hands and face. It then occurrd to me that they were all albino, now I understood why Marvin called this reunion at dawn. One thought I had was Gab made these three Knights, to be lab experiments of the sort.
Marvin broke the silence saying, "she has also seen the Holy One in golden eagle form. Her name is Claire, and she is a Soul Wanderer." The three Knights bowed again, I guessed that they were mute because, their mouths moved but no speech came.
Marvin interpreted for me, "they say that they are welcome to teach you on how to be a Knight. However they fear your power of Soul Wandering might be an omen."

Not knowing how to feel, I tried to speak but realised I couldn't until I felt the connection to my body get unstable. I awoke gasping for air, feeling weak and sick, the room was spinning like I was drunk. I tried to stand but nearly fainted, urgency gripped me tight, I had to go see Marvin and the other Knights physically not spiritually.
The only problem was my physical body, my head was pounding, the spinning was getting worse and my legs were useless. It didn't help that I was feeling very sore on my back more specifically the shoulderblades.
I slowly looked behind me and found grey feathers, I knew they were from my new growing Knight wings. These weren't little down feathers one might find in a pillow, these were large flight feathers.

To ease the dizziness, I laid down on my side. A normal person would freak out at this but, I was losing my humanity at a slow rate. My family would probably disown or fear me if they saw me now. Knowing them a search party might be out soon, I didn't want to be known as human anymore. Marvin was right I was visited by the Holy One himself. I thought about making humans like Gab, but I didn't want to turn out like my maker.

What would my life be like now? I didn't want to visit my dead parents graves. My previous life had been snuffed out, similiar to a candle in a draft. It was a good life but out came the tears from my swollen eyes,  I wept for my friends, my parents but mostly for myself.
A normal eighteen year old would be in university or work a nornal nine-to-five job, I would wish to get my old life back now, but alas this was my life. My name is Claire Thomas and I am a Knight through and through.
