20 The Power of Will

I was on my balcony admiring the city lights as i reminisced about the time with Stella. I sighed and stopped thinking about it.

'STATUS'

Life span: 20000 years

Willpower: Manifestation

'Though I didn't comment on it for a moment this life span of mine is getting out of hand' I thought with a wry smile. I then started wondering how to use my willpower. I sat in meditation searching deep inside. l easily entered a perfect state of calm. A moment later, I felt a light radiating in the darkness of my mind. Its glow was soft spreading in the entirety of the space and illuminating it. My speck of focus neared it and fused with it. Instantly I understood the nature of this glow it was a representation of my WILL. After the fusion, I felt like I could control it now and couldn't wait to try.

I exited that mystical state and returned to reality. I was still sitting on my balcony, the wind was softly blowing, the moon and stars were illuminating the midnight sky. As I opened my eyes a foreign glow could now be found in them. I searched for a target to practice this new ability. My eyes stopped on the chair and the table in the corner. I decided to go with them.

Focusing my mind virtual image of their destruction sprung forth. At first, I didn't notice anything, when I was ready to mark this as a failure and release the mental picture, something happened. I felt a weird type of power flowing out of me directed at the chair and table, when it reached, I expected to see the table explode or break but to my astonishment and utter shock the table and the chair just disintegrated.

All this took a lot of time to describe but from the moment I WILLED it to the disintegration of the furnitures, it only took the span of a breath.

'This is horrifying, what sort of power can be this monstrous?. Mine apparently and with the current trend, this power should become more and more frightening with each resurrection' i thought in awe.

I tried to see what other things I could do with it, I strongly wished to see Chloe as I didn't see her for a long time. Just to see what would happen. Instantly the same phenomenon appeared again, a brilliant light flashed in my eyes, and my gaze seemed to poke through something. Following this, Chloe was before me.

She was in a bathrobe, seated in a luxurious room and holding a glass of wine. Her pale skin was flush with remnant warmth and her long dark hair was dripping and gave the feeling of dripping ink. She seemed to sense something and turned in my direction, her eyes had already turned crimson and I could see her muscle tensing preparing for an attack. But as she continued to sense, a puzzled expression appeared in her eyes, she said tentatively:

''Samsara?''

'I can't answer or can I?' I exerted my my willpower to transmit my thoughts to her

« Hey, Chloe how is it going? » I saw her flinch and look around the room.

''Where are you? I can't see you, but weirdly I know it's you because of my signature on your essence.''

Ah. This explained how she noticed me spying on her, I thought it was due to her sharp senses but it looks like I was wrong.

« I am testing out my new ability. How did it go with your mission, Blood dragon? » I asked mischievously

Her face slackened and her red eyes returned to normal then she pinched the bridge of her nose.

''I can see your date with Stella went well, she must have told you about this unfortunate nickname,'' she said cringing.

As she mentioned Stella I looked at her to see if there was any trace of ill-feeling, even though Stella told me that she endorsed it, I needed to be sure.

'' Oh don't worry, Stella is like my sister and you're mine now, so I don't mind at all, you're still new to the supernatural or else you would know that for us beings who can live for an eternity, conventional relationships are not the norm. If it were not due to the fact that Stella and I had been isolated from a good part of the supernatural community before coming of age, me because of my freakish powers and position, and Stella because of her nature and father, Stella would have been forced to 'use' a human despite the possibility of him dying during the act. Most supernaturals wouldn't bat an eyelid doing this.'' she spoke after my silence as if sensing my thoughts.

I listened to her and even though I still couldn't understand the wave these beings operated on, I decided to stay open as I was now part of this world.

« When will you be back ?»

''I am not sure. Even though I am supposed to be on a regular punishing mission, I keep feeling something is wrong, the group I am here to apprehend is more tricky than I thought.''

« I thought you were there for an issue inside the branch of your clan? » I send puzzled.

''I thought so too but my dear father decided not to inform me about what I encontered here. That, or he din't know what was afoot. After the party and my massive leap in strength when I drank your blood had him frightened. We don't speak these days. Even less than before.'' she said melancholically

"I am sorry to hear that. I hope he'll come around."

"Fat chance in hell, I believe. Don't worry, I am fine with it. Some things can't be mended."

"The group you've mentioned who are they?" I changed the subject.

''Well, they are a group composed of numerous individuals there are rogue vampires, mages, some werewolves, potentially other sups. They slaughtered a staggering number of humans and sups in this city. The number of deaths is staggering. Even though normally these wouldn't warrant our intervention, these numbers are…, it's getting more difficult to cover the mess under the piercing eyes of human journalists. The authorities even started assigning a TF team to apprehend the culprits'' she answered feeling tired.

" Did work out a motive? " I asked solemnly.

''No. This is what worries me the most. There seems to be no particular patterns to these murders. The situation is getting tense a few members of the local branch have disappeared as well. We expect the worst.'' she said coldly

I could feel the cold anger this situation invoked in her.

She was pissed.

''Because of this, I won't be able to come back anytime soon,'' she said regretfully.

''Also, I learned about the attempt on your life by these werewolves, I had one of my subordinates looked into it and they were mercenaries for hire. I don't know their employer but I know their actual location I will send you their coordinates via smartphone,'' she said casually.

"Much thanks. I know you're busy. Don't work too hard," I said which made her smile.

I'll take the win.

After our goodbyes, I cut the connection.

I stood up from my seated position and went to the railings. observing the city. I felt something wicked was coming my way soon. With my heightened senses, I noticed that my feelings were becoming unusually accurate.Between this and the news brought by Chloe, I was wary.

I shook those thoughts and returned to the now. I was amazed by the power of my WILL. i managed to communicate with Chloe despite the tens of kilometers separating us, although I felt exhausted mentally I still felt this would become one of my most powerful weapons as most of the supernaturals were already extremely strong physically. My upgraded body wasn't enough to give me an edge during the fights.

'DING'

I had received a notification, taking my phone I saw that it was a message with some coordinate attached. I looked at it and thought 'I am the ambusher this time.'.

It was time I got some payback.

But first I went to sleep. What? you too would be exhausted if you had spent the one night and half a day with Stella.
