Capítulo 9

Adrian

She didn't return after our last encounter, leaving me with a whirlwind of unanswered questions and a gnawing frustration that refused to dissipate. The restlessness inside me grew, as if something vital was shifting, demanding my attention. With Iryen gone, I felt an overwhelming urge to delve into this newfound energy surging through me—a power that buzzed beneath my skin, begging to be unleashed. It was time to explore this new part of myself, to confront the chaos brewing within.

Every inch of my body thrummed with unfamiliar energy. The power buzzed beneath my skin and hummed in my ears, as if it were begging to be released. The water swirled around me, reflecting my inner turmoil, echoing my doubts.

As I stepped closer to the water, a shiver danced down my spine, awakening something deep within me. The surface glimmered like a thousand diamonds, the coolness inviting yet intimidating, a stark contrast to the warmth of my skin. I dipped my fingers in, and a rush of sensations flooded over me—the water enveloped my hand like a lover's caress, cool and soothing yet alive with energy. With each ripple, I felt echoes of ancient memories, whispers of the ocean calling to me, urging me to surrender to its depths. The salty scent mingled with the fresh air, wrapping around me like a protective shroud, igniting a sense of belonging and awakening my latent powers. This wasn't just water; it was a part of me, a sacred bond waiting to be rediscovered.

As I dipped my feet into the water, it lapped around my ankles, sending tiny jolts of sensation up my legs. I could sense the life within the pond, each droplet alive with its own energy. It thrummed with vitality, a heartbeat that pulsed in time with my own, drawing me in deeper.

Closing my eyes, I let out a slow breath, seeking calm amidst the storm of emotions swirling inside me. I focused on the rhythm of the water, allowing my instincts to take over.

The moment I surrendered to the energy, the waters responded instantly, swirling around me as if they were aware of my desires. I could feel every current, every ripple, as though the ocean had become an extension of myself, a mirror reflecting my hidden potential. With a gentle lift of my hand, the water obeyed, first rippling softly and then forming a larger wave that bent and twisted at my command.

It was intoxicating, this connection—like tasting freedom for the first time. I reveled in the sensation, the power coursing through me like a vibrant thread weaving together my humanity and something far more primal.

I let the energy guide me, feeling it swell within my chest, filling me with confidence. I envisioned the water responding, shaping itself to my will. I could create anything—a spiral of droplets rising into the air, or a shimmering barrier of water that shimmered in the fading light.

With each movement, the thrill grew, igniting a fire in my veins. I felt invincible, as though I could command the ocean itself. But beneath that exhilaration, a whisper of caution lingered. What if I lost control? What if this newfound power consumed me instead of serving me?

Shaking off the doubt, I focused harder, channeling the energy and drawing on the depths of my emotions—anger, frustration, joy. I twisted them into the water, feeling it respond with even greater fervor. The pond bubbled and swirled around me, dancing in a way that felt both exhilarating and frightening.

A smirk tugged at my lips. The power was raw, pure potential, and it was mine. But there was something deeper, something more. I focused harder, reaching out with my thoughts, and suddenly the water darkened, the current shifting, growing colder. I pushed the waves outward, and they roared to life, turning violent, like a storm gathering just beneath the surface.

And then, I felt it—something else brewing, deep in my core. A connection to the ocean itself, as if the very tides obeyed me. With just a thought, I could feel the water pulse, responding to my will. I wasn't just bending it; I was commanding it.
