The Eclipse Mark

Chapter 11

"So you'll actually teach me?"

"Yeah, sure! I'm only a year older, but I know my stuff. It isn't hard to get a hold of, you just need to practice to become better."

"Thank you! I really need a teacher."

"Yeah, what mark do you have anyways?"

"Um... r-ROCK! Rock... yeah." Chelsy facepalms while Thanatos gives a weak thumbs up.

"Ooookay... well, I can kinda help you there, but you'll probably be on your own."

"That's fine! I just need to learn plant at the very least."
~~~
"I cannot learn plant!" I was trying to control a vine that Dani made, but it was going all over the place.

"FEEL THE VINE!"

"I'M TRYING!"

"TRY HARDER!" Chelsy was somehow caught by the vine.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M DOING?"

"I DON'T WANT MORE SCARS, GET ME DOWN!" She didn't want to destroy the vine, but she also wanted to get down.

"FEEL THE VINE!"

"THE VINE FEELS ANGRY!"

"THEN MAKE IT NOT ANGRY!" I take a deep breath and close my eyes. I start trying to... talk to the vine?

Okay. Calm down Mr. Vine... or Ms. Vine. Or even just Vine, I don't judge.

"GET ME DOWN!"

Okay... tangent. Could you put my friend down please?

"I SHOULD'VE CHOSEN MY WORDS BETTER! LUNAAAA!" I peek my eyes open and Chelsy was free falling. I start panicking and thankfully, Thanatos manages to catch her.

"You could've saved yourself, right?" I laugh nervously.

"I'm going to fucking kill you- but of course I could've. I just don't want to waste any more energy. Besides, Thanatos caught me." He puts her down.

"How about we start with something easier?"

"Please."
~~~
"Please tell me how you managed to make a flower into a bigger flower?" Dani, from what I could tell, was a nice guy. He seemed like a cheery guy. But now? He looked dead behind the eyes.

"You've done that before... right?"

"I've never made the flower start attacking people." He starts softly laughing, which scared me.

"Well... it's good for attacking?"

"Not when the flower is attacking you!" We were both running away from a rampaging daisy. Dani was adamant about not using his magic to help, but I could tell he was regretting that decision.

"Ha! SUCK IT, LOSERS!" Chelsy and Thanatos were over by the sidelines, laughing at our misfortune.

"Wow! THANKS!" I grab onto one of the leaves and climb on top of the flower. I start trying to pin it down.
