Debriefing

Chapter 53: Debriefing

Since Satan's death, my dreams have been relatively normal. At least, I think they are, but I can't really remember them. That never use to happen before.

"Good morning." Clementine's eyes bore trough my haze of sleep.

I bolted up. Any effects of sleep vanished instantly. Today, I will be going on my first mission.

"Someone looks excited!" Clementine mused and climbed down the latter and I followed her down.

"How can I not be?" I giggled and ran to the closet and pulled on my uniform.

Alvina looked at me with an eyebrow raised, "You realize that we have to go on a normal plane." I blushed and changed into regular clothing and stuffed the uniform into a bag with my other clothes. I grabbed my rose handled suitcase and walked out again.

"Come on." Alvina shook her head and linked arms with me. We walked out of our room where the others where waiting for us.

I was bouncing as Mama Fra read a file, "You mission is a simple scouting. We want to see what the Angels are doing in Crescent Moon. Try to be as discreet as possible. Remember you all are going home with Twyla for break. If you go anywhere go as a team, especially with Twyla."

I shot a triumphant glance towards Kai who just rolled his eyes. I am totally going to bother him about this later.

"Here are your enchanted objects. They help suppress your magical side, don't take them off during your trip if you are in the eyes of mortals. More so if they know Twyla, it could become problematic."

Mama Fra closed the manilla envelope and opened a black pouch. She handed Kai a braided black leather bracelet with a small bluish-purple pendant in the center. I was trying to spot a difference in Kai, but I could not find anything different about him.

Then she handed Clementine a pink ring which Clementine slipped onto her pinky finger. I watched as the fuzzy pink color of her eyes fade to a dull brown. It's hard to see Clementine with eyes any color than pink.

After she handed Zephyr a plain strap of leather which he tied several times around his wrist. Light reflected off the silver blue studs. His eyes didn't change much. They only looked like someone added more blue dye into his eyes.

Finally she came to me. For some odd reason, my heart was pounding. She handed me a teardrop red necklace. I quickly took it, it felt warm in my hand.

"I won't be able to communicate with you once you put it on. " Nyra informed.

I made a humming noise in understanding as I clasped the chain at the base of my neck. Slowly I felt strength and power drain from my body. I was now very tired and hungry. My left arm felt very stiff and sore. I winced as I tried to move it, from the corner of my eye I noticed Kai staring at me.

I glance over at Alvina. She was just about finished clasping a white ankle bracelet with only a single green leaf pendent around her left foot. Her eyes looked duller. They didn't glow as brightly, but she didn't look any less pretty.

"I won't be coming with you on this mission." Mama Fra announced and handed everyone a lunch bag. Did everyone feel weak now? Or was it just my half-blooded side making me feel so sore.

No one protested or said anything. I hope this mission isn't going to be this quiet. I don't think I could handle this much silence, or I might begin to trail off in thought. Which might cause me to trigger my hallucinations.
