SYNERGY

Vibration 10.

The Next couple days went by faster than normal. Training with Kip in the morning was exactly that just training. No small talk, just me focusing on what I needed to do. Afterwards he would leave without saying a word. I wondered how long the passive aggressiveness would continue. Classes were becoming more challenging, but I was glad I had something to focus on. The best way to get out of here was to stay on top of my game. The one-on-one training I got with teachers was my favorite. The first one on one session I started with was meditation and energy training. Learning how to ground myself to connect with my higher being. It was the spirit in which my own power derived. The connection between body, spirit and mind. She would often send me a tranquility that I have never been able to achieve before. First it started with a small vibration in my toes, then arms and legs, then whole body. The moment I was fully connected I was in a deep meditative trance.

I looked down and my body was no longer my own, I felt light as air. I pushed my arms down against gravity and flew up and up until I reached a rounded wood structure that was standing on thin stilts, I went inside. I was in a white room; there she was sitting cross legged. She had green swirling curls for hair and multiple arms. She didn't say anything as I floated forward. When I was in front of her she opened her big eyes and cocked her head almost in a predatory manner. She leaned forward pressing her forehead to mine in confirmation of my presence. The touch melting away any fear and worry. Slowly she blew out a breath of air pushing back into my earth body.

I gasped coming back to his office. Bookshelves filled with books and papers were strewn about, plants, empty tea cups and art, so much art placed all over the walls.

My teacher was Mr. Endwell he was by far my favorite teacher here. He was standing in front of me wearing a dark purple shirt, kaki joggers, and sandals. His hair was salt and pepper styled in a high bun and his beard flecked with gray as well had some wooden beads in it. He had deep set chocolate brown eyes that seemed to be full of wisdom. If he wasn't like 50 years old, I probably would have thought he was hot.

"Did you see her this time Astrid?" His deep voice rumbled.

I let out a breath and smiled. "She was beautiful."

He clapped his hands together in excitement. "Good! You're progressing quickly."

"Mr. Endwell, I have a question for you."

His ears perked up, "and I may have an answer, yes Astrid?"

"I'm curious if people have the ability to manipulate other people's emotions?"

"Ah energy manipulation, yes that is a power. I have met two people at this school other than myself who have been able to do that. But from what I have researched if two people are energy intuitive they will be on the opposite ends of the spectrum, only one can be the dominate energy. Usually, it's the one who doesn't want to use the power for ill doing."

"So, what you're saying is if two people have the same power they can't use it on each other for personal gain?"

"Yes and no, actually a good analogy would be about permanent magnets. You might say an electron pull simply has a north side and a south side. You cannot force the two together. One will always push the other, they are the same but opposite. People usually develop it over time as a defense mechanism against someone trying to manipulate them. Once your energy becomes the dominate only you can allow the two energies to flow together if you choose to do so."

I immediately started thinking about how charming Kip had seemed when I first met him almost like I was under a trance.

"Wait, did you say you have the ability?" I inquired.

"Of course, I do. I am skilled in all things that have to do with energy, it's only natural that I would be able to protect myself from other people's attacks."

He snapped his finger and a ball of white light formed at his fingertips.

"Everything in the physical world is made from atoms, atoms are made out of star dust and star dust is made out of consciousness. I can physically manipulate it along with emotionally, I can create things that you think are real."

He formed the ball into a rabbit and let it go. Scurrying, it ran forward running headfirst into the wall before disappearing with a puff of smoke.

"Astrid, you also have the ability to protect yourself from energy manipulation. I'm guessing it's a defense mechanism that you've adapted since unlocking your power."

I gaffed at him, and he laughed.

"Yes, I know this just by being around you. Is that why you're asking because you weren't sure if it was real or not? Well, I can guarantee you that it's real. I know this because everybody has a different color film or aura, yours is a soft blue and constantly around you almost like bubble wrap. It's a good asset to have you will always be protected from most emotional attacks. You can also use it to protect others, almost like a 6th sense. But remember you're not required to set yourself on fire to keep other people warm."

The clock on his wall began to chime. It was time for my artillery lesson. I stood up and brushed myself off.

"Thank you for the lesson, Mr. Endwell."

"Not a problem my dear! I'm always here if you need anything."

I began to walk towards the door when I suddenly thought of something.

"Hey teach?"

"Yes?"

"Who is the third person?"

He looked at me for a long moment seeming to choose his words carefully. "I believe you already know who it is," sighing I nodded and walked out.
