An Emotional World

Chapter 2 A new power

Empty... that's how my room felt. I've been living in the mansion for a week now. I still haven't redecorated even though Isis upgraded my room. People here are so kind and accepting unlike at home. I think that's what this place is supposed to be a paradise for those who don't fit in. I smiled at the thought and began to glow until I heard a knock on my door.

"Coming!" I yelled.

I opened the door to see Nalo. He was posted outside my door so I wasn't that surprised to see him.

"What's up Nalo?" I questioned

"Anon you have training in half an hour just because the queen gave you powers doesn't mean you shouldn't use them," He said noting my slight glow.

"Yeah, yeah whatever" I responded grabbing my shower supplies and training gear, going to the shower room down the hall. Nalo always reminded me about training since I got my powers mostly because we got the same set powers I was now an official shadow angel. It ticked off Nalo since he was a shadow demon and I was an angel which I didn't understand, to be honest. I guess he was just a worse person than me. I internally shrugged as I stepped out the shower, drying off and getting dressed.

"Remember to be mindful about how you feel or you could end up ruining your attack" Dia had been training me along with Acha and Midari. I couldn't help but notice how much Acha trained me in battle mostly hand to hand, magic attacks, and weapon summoning. Midari worked with potions and poisons for more 'personal attacks'. And Dia was skilled in corruption based attacks, mostly attacks that tapped into the darker parts of your soul to work.

"Hey Anon come here!" I heard Midari call me from inside. I started to walk and Acha stopped me.

"Take this chance to teleport" she sounded so serious I felt obligated to do it.

I did as instructed imagining where I wanted to go or who I wanted to go to. As I felt the smoke engulf me I opened my eyes to see Midari smiling so brightly she was always so cute with her short black hair and her eyes are, to my surprise, purple.

"Anon! You're just in time! I have a new potion. I'd like you to make it as a Wiccan protection potion" she handed me the recipe and I began creating the mixture.

"Will this even work for me?" I asked

" Wicca is a practice as well as a religion you can join me if you'd like?"

I was tempted but a voice echoed in the back of my head ' no no no not aloud'. And I listened... "no thanks I'm Christian".

"Too bad that would've been fun" she sighed disappointed.

'Why did I say that?' I thought as I finished the potion. I handed the potion to Midari after it was finished and smiled.

"I thought it was gonna explode on me, like the last five!" I glared at her

"How was I supposed to know you'd stand to close!?" I laughed at her squealing high voice.

I finished my training for the day and went to town to get a meal before dealing with my daily check-up from Ben and Dia. I stopped by Pinkis' bakery. She always had something tasty to eat and the fact she was a fusion made me smile. I was greeted by the fusion in question as I walked in.

"Anon! You're just in time! Just made a fresh batch of your favorite cupcakes, want some?" 

"Is that even a question, pass the cupcakes!" I teleported over to the counter.

"Hey I did it without imagining it!"

"That's great I see your training is going well you even have a loyalty mark" She pointed to the strange symbol that appeared on the back of my hand.

"Is that what that is?" the mark had appeared on me when I started training and I had always questioned it.

"Loyalty marks are for guards in training! So that checks you out."

"Speaking of training I just finished for today and..."

"Say no more one post-training chocolate shake coming up!" she began fixing my usual, I smiled once she gave it to me. I thanked her and went on my way to meet up with Ben.

"Well this is interesting" Ben stated a bit surprised

I sipped my shake waiting for him to finish. He didn't mind me drinking while he worked as long as I brought him something, which I usually did. His tests were very weird but he wasn't a traditional doctor so I couldn't complain. I just waited for him to finish. He soon finished by checking my head for lice and us chatting before I left back to the mansion for some hangout time with Dia and Nalo. Turns out they were dating and Dia made me the third wheel but I usually just chilled in a steam room or mud bath.

"Anon you're just in time to get your spa supplies! We are getting the works today and no arguing you are getting a mani-pedi! no one's nail beds should look like that!" she pointed to my nails and I just pretended to be offended.

"My nail beds are fabulous. How dare you insult them! After you dragging me to your last three mani-pedis" I snarked

 "YOU GOT CLEAR GLOSS YOU NEANDERTHAL!!!!!!!!!!" she yelled at me and then we just laughed while Nalo glared.

"Don't worry Nalo we're just friends" I said, punching his arm lightly.

"Let's go, we'll decide on your colors on the way!" she grabbed my arm dragging me along as I asked nalo to help me.

"But pink and blue aren't good colors for me. Can I get purple instead? It's my favorite color" me & Dia had been arguing about the color. Dia was dead set on getting me to choose between blue and pink which made me uncomfortable.

" Okay fine but I'm not gonna approve of it" Dia continued to whine while getting my colors done.

I got a light and dark purple pattern done on all my nails much to Dia's dismay.

"We could've been twins instead you chose purple over me!" she had been ranting at me the entire time at the spa refusing to relax even in the steam room ruining my time at the spa too.

"Damnit Dia, why are you still talking about this you're the one who told me not to get a clear polish!" flames formed around me and I panicked not knowing what was happening.

I ran away from Dia and Nalo back to the mansion.
