The Realm Of The Abyss

Chapter 16: Supernatural Powers

Quinn’s POV.

I washed my face and leaned against the sink to look at my reflection in the vanity mirror. My heart was beating faster and faster. I was terrified for Alfaro. I’m not certain, but I fear something bad will happen to him, and I must take action to prevent it before it’s too late.

Before Alora died, I saw this vision in her eyes, just as it happened in Alfaro today. I blamed myself so much for not preventing her death when I could have, so I won’t make the same mistake again. That is something I must avoid this time. I couldn’t predict what else would happen in the future because what I saw was so complex, but I will find a way to change it. I’m going to seek out ways to save others.

I will not allow another person important to me to end up dying…

I couldn’t fall asleep. The sun was rising, but I hadn’t gotten any sleep. I haven’t gotten much sleep in the last few days. Even if I wanted to or compelled myself to sleep, I couldn’t. I’ve been thinking a lot about the mysterious events that have been happening to me. Given what’s going on right now, I couldn’t help but admit that I’m certain of my suspicion.

I have supernatural powers…

Doesn’t it sound impossible? I’ve had no idea where it came from or how I obtained it. All I knew was that I couldn’t inherit it from my parents because nothing similar happened to them. We didn’t come from an elemental family or anything remotely related to such extraordinary things either. I don’t know how to activate or control it, but all I can say for now is I have it.

I teleported twice. The first occurred when I was at the hall, but I entered the school cubicle. Then there was the most recent. I was at a night party when I found myself in this world. Next, I possess the ability to foresee the future by looking into their eyes. That, I am aware, is no longer a common occurrence. Gradually, I was able to piece together everything that was happening to me.

But how did I get it?

If it had all been a dream, I would have wished to be awake for a long time. Many people were looking for me in the real world. My parents, Pracy, and my classmates. Aside from that, my plan to unearth the principal’s hidden secret failed because I emerged in the other world.

The truth is, I had intended to leave here before, but how can I do so now if I have to ensure that nothing bad happens to Alfaro? I feel obligated to protect and watch over him because I’m the only one who knows what could happen in his life.

Even though he was always annoying me, I considered him a friend. Despite his strained relationship with his brother, he is and always will be important to Alvaro and me.

I will plan ahead my first step to avoid what I have witnessed. Whatever it takes, I’ll do it. By doing so, I will not only save Alfaro, but also the other residents of Narva who will be involved in and killed in the upcoming crisis.

I sighed heavily as I gazed out the window, waiting for the sun to rise. Just a little bit more and I’ll go insane from overthinking everything. My mind was flooded with differing possibilities. I was at a loss for how to respond. I have plenty to do, but I’m not sure where, when, or how to begin. I’d lost all sense.

But, whatever happens, I must succeed.

I dashed over to His Majesty’s reading room. I intended to speak with him and request that he strengthen the security of the palace and the entire kingdom.

When I arrived, he was holding an envelope and reading what was written on it. The king’s face could be painted with anxiety and worry. Judging by his immediate reaction, there was no good news written there.
