Welcome To The Nightmare (Book 2)

Chapter 36: Together Again

"Teach me how. I'll give you anything, everything as long as I can save them!" Handong gripped Casey's shoulders hard.

"Okay!! Just. Let. Me. Go!! That's hurt, idiot!" Casey yelled as she tossed Handong aside, massaging her shoulders. Handong gripped her so hard it left marks on her shoulders.

Not that Handong meant to hurt her, just that Handong was desperate. Desperate to save her family, desperate to save her lover, desperate to save Gahyeon. What wouldn't she give for a chance to save them, to meet them again?

"There's nothing to give. I'll teach you how. Besides, it's my duty as Aion to guide the Time Masters. Sit down and calm yourself down." Casey waved her hand, summoning a table and two chairs. On top of the table are a pot of tea and two cups. Handong took her seat while Casey pouring the tea into their cups.

"First, Time Master. What we can do. As the name stated, we can control the flow of time in real time but also space. Meaning that we can control how time progressing at our will and manipulating the space around us." Casey sipped her tea, waving her hand and summoning a flower pot in front of her. Handong listened intently at Casey's explanation.

"This flower pot here contain a sunflower seed. Watch." Casey turned her hand clockwise, and from the pot slowly the seed bloomed into a sunflower.

As she turned her hand counterclockwise, the sunflower reverted back into the seed form. Handong's eyes went wide. She looked at Casey in disbelief.

"These are called time acceleration and deceleration. You change the temporal states of matter by accelerating and decelerating its time. You can alter anything, objects and living things. But not dead things. With this technique, you can even heal wounds." Casey explained as she pulled a knife from thin air and cut her pinky.

Handong yelped and about to rush towards her, but Casey stopped her, ordering her to observe. She turned her hand and slowly the pinky grew back. The severed pinky slowly disintegrated as the new pinky grows.

"Okay. Yikes, that's hurts. So far okay?" Casey asked Handong as she wiped the blood from her hand and arm. Handong nodded, showing that she understood her explanation so far.

"Sweet. Okay, next. Space manipulation. This is an extra. From I saw in your memory, you were able to teleport. But besides teleportation, you can also do this." She picked up her saucer and threw it towards Handong, making Handong flinched and put her guards up.

To Handong surprise, the impact she expected never came. Then she saw Casey's hand. The saucer was in her hand. Handong went off with a shriek.

"Yah!!! Why did you do that?!" Handong slammed her hands on the table. Casey just chuckled at Handong.

"But did you wonder why the saucer didn't hit you?" Casey grinned at Handong. Handong sat back down and wondered. She's right. Why didn't it hit her? She was sure the saucer was thrown at her.

"This is why." Casey threw the saucer up. She flicked her finger and a small wormhole appeared right in front of the saucer's trajectory. The saucer went into it and the wormhole disappeared, only to have the saucer reappears back into Casey's hand.

"Temporal displacement. Just like in Portal!" Handong answered excitedly.

"Portal? The video games?" Casey frowned. Handong nodded happily, affirming the fact.

"Right-o! Good job, Handong! Now, next is void spheres. That-" Handong cut Casey off before she could continue.

"I did that before, I think. When I fought Nana unnie. Almost like black hole, it can suck anything into it, right?" Handong explained herself.
