Chapter 10: Passives and Abilities

Kim's POV

"Give it one last try Kim, I know you can do it!" Pina said. She's teaching me how to manipulate objects around me. So far, I can change wood into dirt and make a mud ball... That's about it. Right now, I'm trying to change dirt into stone. "Visualize a rock in you head and create it." Easy for you to say, younger people have better imagination. I closed my eyes and concentrated. "Yay, well done Kim! Now that concludes our lesson, let's head back to the bunker!" She really does know how to brighten things up. We started walking back to the bunker when Pina held out a hand to stop me.

"What's up Pina?" She put her index finger over her lips and crouched. Her eyes scanned the bushes around us and stopped at a particular berry bush. What's behind that bush? Is it something dangerous or is it a rabbit? I watch as she slowly takes out her dagger and slowly shuffle towards the berry bush.

"Gotcha!" She pounced over the bush. I walked over to the bush and saw her holding the dagger over the small fawn's neck. There was a deer watching us from behind a tree. "I can't kill it." She let the fawn go and rejoin it's mother. "Let's go." He sheathed her dagger and continued walking towards the bunker. Rustle Rustle. Huh, what was that? A bush near us rustled and the fawn walked out holding two apples by the stalk. It put the apples down on the ground.

"Thank you." I stroked the fawn and picked up the apples.

"Thank you for sparing me." What? Did the fawn just... talk? The fawn hopped off to it's mum and disappeared. "Take one." Pina took and apple an happily bit into it.

"Did you hear what the fawn said?" Pina looked at me with confusement.

"You can understand what animals are saying? Well that's a good sign, I now know how to train you! Your special passive is understanding animals!" Does that technically make me an animal tamer? Cool, I love animals!!

"Warning, massive thunderstorm approaching from the north. Please stay in you homes and do not leave until told."

"Who said that?"

"Correction, what said that. Now that you can understand what animals are saying, it does mean that you're going to hear a lot of random things like just now. You'll get use to them... Probably." She chuckled and skipped off. I skipped after her and we laughed all the way back.

Dinner

"We're making great progress in the lesson, she successfully changed a bit of dirt into stone and also found out that a thunderstorm was coming." This is how you're planning to tell everyone that I can understand animals?

"What do you mean she found out? Is she like a weather psychic or something?" Chris said making the others laugh.

"That's not it at all, she overheard a bird warning the others a about a massive thunderstorm." Everyone turned their attention to me. "Understanding animals is her special passive." Everyone awed in amazement.

"That's exactly what we need to get Zaku back! If you can get some birds to help us find and lead us to her then we'll be able to get her back." Nina exclaimed. That's a good idea but I don't exactly want to use the bird because that would be mean. Maybe, I can befriend some of the animals and make them my travelling companions! Wouldn't it be awesome if I had an animal squad? "Do you think you can ask some birds to help us?"

"I don't think Kim can do that, I know that it's her special ability to understand animals but it doesn't mean that she is able to control them or anything like that. I know a bit about animal magic and most of them say that one cannot control or convince an animal to do what one wants them to do. That means that Kim will have to befriend some animals if she wants help from them." Pina said. Yay! Now I can really have an animal squad! "Shall we go animal befriending tomorrow?" I nod.
