The Yellow Crystal

Chapter 6

Dad lead Jaime and me to that same back alley of Hell's Kitchen. I saw the dumpster which 'Orvax' had used to plant this crystal on my neck. Dad pointed at a dumpster, and then looked at me questioningly. I just shook my head, and then pointed at the dumpster on the opposite side of the on dad had pointed at. We walked towards it. "Be careful. Turn ghost mode. Syl, to turn ghost mode-" dad was speaking through the thoughts when I interrupted him. "I know how to become a ghost." I said. I honestly didn't, but the crystal was speaking to me. I saw Jaime and dad turn into ghosts. " You need to try and create a tugging sensation in your stomach." said the crystal to me, in my own voice. I pulled my stomach inside, and then tried pulling at it further. I suddenly felt like I started floating in the air. I looked down and saw my feet, then legs, then torso, and then, I thought, my neck and head fade away. 

"Well done" said dad, Jaime and the crystal. We swam through the air towards the area below the dumpster, and suddenly all of us got sucked into it. It seemed like we were going through a pipe, except for as fast as a jet. Suddenly, we were propelled onto a floor. I struggled to land on my feet, but managed it. "Wow Syl. First time Jaime went through this, Jaime ended up landing on his face, the getting up and puking." said dad. "DAD!"exclaimed Jaime. I just laughed. I finally took the time to look around the opening area of the Ka'ar region, and it was... beautiful?

I mean, it was extremely modern, and thus it was beautiful like that. But there was no natural beauty. Dad and Jaime seemed to hear my thoughts. "Yes, its modern, but there is no natural beauty. You can still breathe in human form." answered dad. The overuse of brown and and dark ochre was, was, inexplicable. It looked great, but still, so much brown was hurting my eyes. Wait. I just realized that there was a railway leading to the skyscrapers, which were resting more than 50 miles away. But I could see even the smallest bird, every time I blinked twice in quick succession.

We stood in line, and I was stuck attempting to comprehend the limit to these powers the crystal has granted me. " The powers which I have granted you are many. But some of these are your own powers. This is the first time this has ever happened. Usually, it is a crystal, weaker in powers than mine, to grant its owner powers." said the crystal. I just nodded. " You also hold incredible psychic powers. If you want, I can currently create a mental block that can temporarily diminish your connection with your family. I am only here to help you attain your powers, and help you understand them." asked the crystal. "Break the connection."
