23: Stone Generation

{skip to Friday}

EMERALD

I forgot to ask about my dad. I just thought of it now wow! Its Friday. Who knows about my dad? I haven't seen him in a while. I've always been with my mom. Rumors say his dead, suicide, lost and other shi7. Wait.. That guy in the Estuain told me something about him. I tense up remembering what that jerk did to my friends.

"Chill mate!" Its Hailee. I thought it was Hiro. Sometimes they say the same thing.

"Sorry."

"What's up with you?" She asks.

"Dad." Her eyes widened. What?

"Why?" I asked her.

"What do you mean why?" She ask back.

"Why did your eyes widened?" I said getting closer to her.

"Its just.. I've never seen your dad before but-" I cut her off.

"But what?" She sighs.

"Can we talk somewhere.. Without noise?" She says and I nod. We walk out of the classroom and went to the garden. We sat down on the ground.

"So what do you mean by 'but'?"

"I haven't seen your dad. But, I've heard of him.." She says.

"Can you tell me?" I asked. She looked at me.

"Please.. I want to know what's going on with him and why the man in the Estuain knows about him." She sighs then nods. Yes!

"Your dad's name is Virgillio Stone right?"

"Virgillio? My family just calls him Ver. But yeah thats his name." She nods.

"Want me to tell you?"

"Yes please." She sighs.

"Your dad was an element holder. An element holder protects the four types of elements I guess you know those elements cause you obtain one of them. Your father was a keeper of fire. Element Holders give powers to the ones who are desperate. But when the keepers get old they have stored powers. Can you catch up?" She explains and asks. Element Holder? They give and protect powers and elements. My dad was a Fire keeper.

"Yeah. Continue." I say and she nods.

"Ok. One day, arrived twins to the council. One twin wanted powers while the other wanted money. Your father thought money could never get you to what you are now. He believed that the other twin will use the powers for good so he gave him powers. The twin thanked him while the bad twin hated your father because he didn't give him what he want. Your father and the bad twin argued. Your father said something about money not being important in becoming who you are. The bad twin got more mad. He challenged your father. You see, the bad twin didn't have powers. He asked for money to make the gadgets and supplies for trouble. Your father knew from the looks that he wasn't gonna pass until he says yes. So your father agreed."

"So the twin challenged dad to a fight?"

"Yup."

"Dad wasn't a quitter." I said smiling.

"Yeah. He wasn't." She said smiling back. I gesture for her to continue.

"Ok so your dad fought with the twin. The good twin tried to stop them but was taken. The fight lasted long. The twins quitted and before the bad twin left he threatened your father saying he'll come back but its for the next generation."

"To me?!"

"I don't know." She said shrugging.

"Since then your father moved to another place I don't know where. My grandpa said he was scared for the next Stone."

"Wait why did your grandpa got into this?"

"Oh he and your dad were friends. He thought your father how to control and giveaway elements or powers."

"How come mom never told me this?"

"Um.." Hailee whispers.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"No. What's up with my mom Hailee?" I said holding her arms and gripping on it a bit.

"Em.. Your mom doesn't know your a Burner."
