Chapter 8 - Matching

Chapter 8

Some of the pieces, though not many, are falling into place. Spark was a big sign. I didn’t really want to believe in the impossible. Then again I met Death, seen a hill in the middle of a tornado and seen a hospital collapse in the most obscene way I ever seen. This gives new meaning to anything is possible.

I look up at Watern. “Ok then what’s your power? Wait! Better yet lets all figure out each others names then go with powers” I suggest as I calm down and put Spark on the other dogs back. 

“I’m Lily.” She starts out looking at Watern. She then pauses. “I have Psychokinesis. Otherwise known as the ability to move inanimate objects.” Everyone looks at her surprised. Even though there were no occasions where she needed it since I met her I was thinking she would have used it by now.

“That’s going to be hard to top,” I smirk as I look at the others.

“Yeah. Right. The ability to go into and come out of any shadow is unmitigatedly the worse power in the world.” Watern announces. 

“With a power like that you should change your name to... Shadow.”

“I like Sly better.” Lily commented.

“Yeah! Me Too!” Says another random voice. This time it sounded like a 7 year old boy. We look at the puppy and notice Spark can now speak! 

“I’m taking an educated guess here. Since Lily and I were together neither of us could get a single word out of Spark. Wat... I mean ‘Sly’ can go through shadows. That leaves you dog. Is your ability to be able to allow animals to speak to others in their native language?” 

“Great deduction sir! But it’s not just animals. I can speak any language once I’ve heard it. I’m a linguist! By the way my name is Connal and ‘Sparks’ name is Cuan.” Connal says happily.

“Smart dog. But Connal isn’t a very awesome name.”

“Excuse me?!” 

“Your nickname should be Konan BUT with a K.” 

“I don’t appreciate that you would give me another name although I deeply adulate my name.”

“...adualate?”

"look it up" 

Smart dog. 

I ignore the dogs arrogance.

"So Lily is telekinetic but only with inanimate objects; Sly can travel through shadows; Spark can...well generate sparks; and Konan can speak and allow others to speak the same language. What are my powers?" 

Everyone looks around. 

"Maybe your psychic. Can you hear my thoughts?"

Everyone goes silent and sadly, i hear nothing.

"I hear nothing at all."

"Maybe you can fly!" Spark excites.

"You CANNOT FLY!" says a familiar voice in my head. I'm going to listen to that voice.

"Spark. I know for a fact i can't fly."

Spark looks disappointed.

"Maybe you can regenerate." Says a yet another random voice. A dude walks up wearing an all blue tux. "Nice to meet you all"
