My powers

We are not in Sheraton.

"We are not in Sharaton??" I asked with full of curiosity "Are we in Romadiou?"

" No! don't worry . We are at golantion."

I felt relief that we are not at the enemy's territory. But then when did we get here ?? How long was I asleep??

" You'd been sleeping for almost 5 days!

! So we were scared for you. But luckily you woke up "

Normally I should be thinking,'I was sleeping for 5 DAYS ' but the only thing coming to my mind is, 'HOW CAN HE READ MY MIND?!!'

" Oh!! Btw I still don't know your name ."

" My name is ....my name, What is my name???"

Here I was trying to remember my name but I am already distracted by laughter beside me.

" sigh* I'm sorry, but That was a good laugh. Hum... hey what about Phoenix??"

" Phoenix ??"

"Yes, it is the name of a legendary bird who reborn's from ash no matter how many times you kill it. Well when I met you, you were covered with ash and were unconscious for 5 whole days. We almost thought you were going to die. Luckily we were wrong!  ... but calling you Phoenix is a little bit extreme and uncomfortable so in short, we'll call you fenny. Is that alright with you??"

'Phoenix' I'm starting to like this name. But he is right calling me Phoenix every time is a little extreme.

" Yes, T- thank you .... Why did you need my name so suddenly ."

" Well, I'll need your name to fill adopt form on adyol court ...And we cannot examine your power without writing your name on the registration. "

" Oh,... WAIT! WHAT POWER?? I'm only 5 I can't have powers!!"

" You won't understand that until you understand this first. Tell me do you know why qi awake at age of 6 or 7 Or do you know why people get stuck at bright orange??"

What kind of questions is that?? I thought for a moment about the answer. But nothing came in my mind.

" I don't know " I admitted.

" Well, I expected that,  sigh* we have numerous channels in our body. Each channel is connected to one point. Right over here. "  He pointed little bit above my belly button " When we are active each channel produce life force but when we are sleeping or meditating these life force collect at the point and change itself into qi. But kids aren't as active and sleep most of the time they don't produce as much qi. Um... suppose to have impure qi we need 10 life forces in point, a baby from the day it's born to when it's 2 years old, it only creates about 0.78 life forces. "

"Only 0.78 in 2 years!! Does this mean I somehow produce more life force??"

" Yes, listen to me first. And don't disturb me again...just born babes don't move a lot and not only their channels are undeveloped but they also have very fewer channels than any adults. Because of that no matter how much 2 years old move most of the life force doesn't reach the point and gets dissolves into the body making the body stronger to develop channel. Even after it develops all the life force don't reach the point. Some reach fast while some reach very slow giving it fire like shape. "

" You mean magic orb shows us life force turning into qi in action. "

" tsk * Yes, it does. Now listen to me carefully. The thing I am going to tell you will never be thought in school or anywhere else for that matter. As much as qi is related to life force it's also related to emotions.  Think of emotions as a catalyst for speeding up the process.  You can cheat to others but not yourself. Lifeforce mainly reacts with dreams and desires.   It is also one of the things you should know how to control if you want to be mana pearl. And it is one of the reasons why people with mana pearl doesn't side with anyone or don't take over the continent even if they can. And one with such desire gets stuck in bright orange qi. Do you understand ??"

" Yes, but what's all of this got to do with me"

"According to my theory, I think when your house was burned or maybe even before that you had a desire which mixed with your life force and was continually speeding up the process. It even further speeds up when it mixed with fear, So much on a level that you had to sleep for 5 days to turn it into qi."

I was just there surprised and listening carefully with my eyes and mouth open wide. I don't know what to say.

"5 days to turn life force into qi??" I asked.

" Yes, even I didn't notice until you woke up. And that is also one of the reasons I want to adopt you ."

" You're adopting me because of my powers?? "

" I kinda seem evil if you put it that way.  But it is partly true. When I first met you every part of my guts told me to treat you carefully.  So I wanted to see what kind of monster you will become."

" MONSTER, Am I evil??"

" Don't worry, every monster don't do monasteries thing. I'll give you each and every facility you need.... Sadly, the school won't take people under 6 years so you will train with me for one year. Is that ok with you ??"

" Yes," I said with a low voice. Do I even have a choice ??

" It still dark outside( about 2 AM). Let's talk tomorrow at breakfast."

" okay "

"Good night, Fenny "

With this, he went outside and closed the door. He probably knew I wasn't going to respond.

I jumped straight into my bed and comprehend what he told me. When the thought of my parent came to mind. I remember my dad packing things to go in war, I cried a lot that day too. I remember how my mom sacrificed herself in order to save me. But except those events, I don't remember anything

Not even their faces. When did I forget all those things? Maybe after I cried?? Yes, maybe after I cried  I didn't know what  I should cry about except they both are dead.

After I finished my word with Fenny, I left him alone in the room and closed the door. As always slave was guarding the door, No! Guarding the boy would be more proper.

As I came outside he began to stare at me. " Liar " Is the only thing he said.

I smiled at him.

" I don't know what you're talking about??"
