The Yellow Crystal

Chapter 13

I was walking back to block D's quarters. The conversation with Orvax was slightly more weird than I had expected it to be. A lot of information and favors transferred between us both for just a small span of five minutes. So, I was this generations chosen one. And, I am the closest to actually being the chosen one. That sentence makes sense and does not make any sense at the same time. It was tearing my mind apart. I walked through the sheet that acted as the door for block D. I looked for Jaime but he was practically invisible. I continued walking, and in my rush to find Jaime, I accidentally bumped into someone.

"Watch out little kid. You don't want to mess with me." said the person who I bumped into. I looked at the person, finding out that he was a heavily built guy, with a trailing beard, desperately needing to be shaved. I figured that he may think the beard makes him look cool, or tough. But it actually makes him look like a straggler. "Umm ok?" I said questioningly. I proceeded to get up and walk away, continuing my search for Jaime, but the 'straggler' behind me pulled me back, and shoved me to the ground. It didn't actually hurt, but it definitely made me more angry. " I shouldn't sense questions in your tone. That will trigger me to hurt you. Like I said, you don't want to mess with me." said the straggler. " Next time you talk to me, talk if you are completely sure about it, and talk to me by my name, Jeff. Is that fine with you, Mr. No one cares about you?" was Jeff's continuation.

I controlled my anger, and nodded and started to walk off again. Jeff pulled me back and shoved me to the ground again. Then he chuckled and started to walk off. I got up and told the crystal to give me a long range power, and the crystal granted me something that made my hands start glowing gold. I could fell the eyes of every one focusing on me. "This is a focused blast that charges in the sun. It will not kill your enemy, but it will damage them." said the crystal. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked at the person whose hand it was and saw the girl that Jaime was staring at before. "I see that you are new here. Using your powers are not allowed in the living quarters, even though I am unsure of how you were unable to harness it so quickly. Take it easy. You can get back at him at tomorrows practice, because he is only picking on you due to newbies taking longer than a few hours to learn to take control of their powers." said the girl, and I ceased to understand anything apart from not doing anything now, and getting revenge tomorrow.

I told the crystal to cancel the attack. I saw the light emitting from my hands dimming. Soon, it diminished, and I turned around and smiled. "Thanks. I am Sylvester. If you want, you can call me Syl." I said. "No problem. I am Tiara" she replied.
