Kathrin grabbed my arm and pulled me to the large table, sitting me next to her and Lord Tony. I can't say anything, it's like my mouth is glued shut or there's something stuck in my throat, so nervous.

"So Whistler, do you know why you're here?" Kathrin's mom spoke up, a smile on her face.

"U- uhhh...."

"I didn't think so, I didn't tell anyone accept for Gene and Tony so-"

"Wait why didn't you tell me!?" Kathrin stood up and scoffed, "I'm.... relevant!"

"Uhhh..." Tia's sword, I sound like an idiot.

"Sweetheart don't take it personally, I didn't tell you because you were the retriever."

"Can we get to the point Hyde...." Lord Tony's voice was always that kind of a commanding, scary voice, let alone the fact she called the fire queen Hyde instead of Eliza, how formal...

"Ah yes! Whistler, you're here to be tested for the possibility that you are... a Hybrid." Kathrin immediately turned her head to me,

"THAT'S WHY?" She looked at her mom, "I THOUGHT WE WERE ARRESTING HIM OR LIKE.... MAKING HIM A SECRET AGENT!"

"W- wait what..?" I didn't notice myself sink under the table slightly.

"H- haha we could be completed wrong, we just want to make sure as: 'All Hybrids have to be monitored and protected by the leaders of the kingdoms they're apart of.' Heh..." The Queen pinched Gene's cheek, he growled,

"I said not to do that in public!!" Gene pushed Eliza's hand away, embarrassed,

"This hardly public..."

"Hybrids? I thought those were just things people made up to scare their kids? You know like.... 'If you don't bathe every night the Earth and Water Hybrid will eat your toes!' Or... something like that...."

Kathrin gives me a look, "You had some weird parents..."

"Wha- n- no I-"

"Hybrids are very real you dit...." Gene walked over to where I was sitting, he then held up two fingers, "Boop." His fingers both lit up, one frozen and one on fire, he then clenches his fist and sighs, "Can we just get this over with?"

I stared at his hand still with a horrified expression on my face.

"Wind Whistler, we have suspicions that you may be able to manipulate fire." Lord Tony spoke, "If this is true then we might have to move you to Fire kingdom to continue your studies so that you may learn to control your abilities instead of.... well..."

"Lets just get to the testing portion." Eliza smiled and stood up quickly.

"W- wait I-"

"Come on Whistler! It can't be that bad!!" Kathrin pulled me up from my seat and walks out the large back door with her mother, Gene and Tony follow.

"I sure hope that idiot's not a hybrid..." I hear Gene say after falling behind with Lord Tony.

"I..." this was too much adventure I think, I shouldn't have come so willingly.

What have I gotten myself into...
