I woke up to a blanket on top of me and a stuffed bear in my arms. Uhh, what? I sat up and saw that the others were already training. I got up, still holding the bear, and walked over to them.

"Good morning, sunshine!" Zeke greeted.

"How are you even sure it's still morning?" Heather asked.

"I have a watch." he says as he raises his left arm, "See?"

"What time is it, then?"

"Just half past eleven. Why?"

"So that's why I'm feeling hungry. Make lunch for us, please?"

"I'll only do this for you once, alright?" he said as he headed inside.

"Why were you sleeping outside, kid?" she asked.

"I don't know. When I woke up, I was already here."

"Well, Zeke did say that you were sleepwalking last night." Rebecca said.

"But still, how'd you end up stopping out here?" Crystal asked.

"I-I have absolutely no idea."

"Anyway, why don't we head inside for our deserved lunch?" Heather suggested.

"I don't think, we should bother with him at this moment." Ashley said. She then got beside me and whispers, "Thank you for not leaving Mr. Boom boom behind. He, uhh, told me what happened." I nodded.

"Okay, I'll just get these inside." I told the girls. I headed to the big room and left the blanket there and the bear in Ashley's room.

"Ow!" I heard as I was going downstairs. I rushed to the kitchen only to see Zeke biting his finger. I chuckled a bit and asked what happened.

"I cut myself." he said as he showed his bleeding finger.

"You're really bad at this, aren't you? Want a bandage?" Like I was one to talk.

"No, not really. I'm just not used to it when I'm the one cutting myself." he said as he chuckled, "Besides, I can patch this one up in a second." As he said that, he wiped the blood away and the wound disappeared. My jaw dropped at the sight.

"How did you just do that?"

"Well, when you've had powers for a while, you'll continue to experiment with what you have and you'll discover different things. Oh, and the blood knight taught me how to do this even though this is originally exclusive to his kind."

"Can you teach me that? You know, when I gain access to my powers?"

"We'll see. It did take a while before I was able to master this ability."

"But how about learning it? Did it take long?"

"The time you master it is the time you learn it.  Hopefully, that makes sense for you."

"Hmm, you told me time is distorted here, but why is it that you told everyone a somehow exact time?"

"Because... I control the time here. It takes a lot of energy, you know."

"Do you even sleep?"

"Sometimes, when you guys are asleep."

"How does that happen?"

"I  usually put you guys to sleep by eleven."

"So you're the reason why no one can stay up all night?"

"Not really. That's just the Earth time that I end the session for the day."

"Okay. But how did I wake up with a blanket and a bear?"
