Insanity

The Ritual's effects....

I have been asked these questions a million times, how come you never use your abilities? Oh and by the way, what class of race are you from? I have to lie and pass by the questions stating, I am an exorcist, and I don't use my abilities because I want to get stronger with my own strength, nothing more. They always go ohh... how cool of you Ms.Selverine! Really? The younger ones have started worshiping me, and naming me Ms.Selverine! If only they knew what I was, I am the one and only Unfamiliar. I relax in my tent after another long and tiring day, in the past month, 1,983 people have died of depression, tiredness and heart attacks from having to stop every time to breath. I mean, I am lucky, no one has a clue.

That same next morning, I walked after the arena and headed to my same practice spot. Phoenix and I have learned a lot together, I am a master at using fire now! As I inhale, gracefully move my hands, and finish it off with an angry-like throw of my arms and hands into the sky, I exhale a red-orange flame into the sky and smile. I love my arms and hands now, after an hour or so I head back to camp. I see Aiden and catch up to him. I see that he is all bruised up and scared, God what happened? I ask him quickly, "What happened?" He shook his head and avoided my question, that really ticked me off. I grab his collar, man i always have to do this and deal with him all the time. I yelled angrily, "I am asking you something!!!" He turned pale and his expression changed to a scared expression and states, "I got in a fight with one of the other Hunters here, we argued about how weak we both are." I question who it was all I hear is, "Kyle".

That night when I reached the shelter of my tent, I breathed and I was asked by a voice in my mind, What's wrong? I smiled and knew exactly who it was, it was the magnificent fire bird, Phoenix. I respond back out loud, "it's just, this preparation for this war against your kind is tearing us apart." Phoenix stays quiet and I worry, "Phoenix?" He answers back, Sorry, I was lost in thought. I get ticked off, and yell back, "C'mon Phoenix, I know by now how you act when you're hiding something-spill it." He sighs and explains to me, Lisanna-I know I am not exactly-Demon type to you, correct? I nod and reply, "You are a loyal, beautiful bird with wings of an angel, I mean I already now why, but still-why did you have to be a Demon?" This time Phoenix took a moment and decided on his perfect answer for me, It's because I have the ability to use fire, creatures with strange form and abilities like myself, are classified by the Demon blood running inside of us all. I remain silent and say, "Why did you choose me? I mean-as your caretaker for the next 100 years? I am basically a traitor, for making a contract with you-a Demon." He remarks to me, It is because you are different, you will keep your heart pure no matter what you do, that's why I entrust you with my soul. With that, I notice it is evening and I want to talk more with Phoenix, but I hear someone walk in and freeze.

I turn around to notice it is no one other that Aiden. I sit up, this time I tell one last thing to Phoenix and we agree to let me talk to Aiden. He walks in without permission and says, "Mind if we talk?"  I nod and he closes the my tent and sits on my bed beside me. We face each other and notice how close to each other, I feel my face getting warm and shake my head to forget what I am thinking. He starts the conversation saying, "I have notice you being secretive about something, going to the same place we all met, that stupid cliff you almost dies over. I mean, sorry for asking, but what have you been doing there every once in a while?" I freeze, I am so scared right now, shoot! How does he know? I hurry and ask Phoenix what to do but I know that what help, I use this chance to stall and respond in an angry tone, "What is it to any of your business?!" He gets up as well and yells straight back, "I confronted everyone else I could, and we are all getting worried that you are doing something weird-maybe to yourself!" I gasp and punch him across the face, with tears in my eyes I scream and ask, "What do you think I am doing, I am preparing myself for the worst!" He quickly falls to his knees and to his hands facing down.
