Extraordinary

NARRATOR'S POV

Elara walked out of Arlies room, her mind was in a frenzy thinking about every possible explanation as to why Arlie was able to heal herself.

The poison Lyra's power unleashed on Arlie was one that not even a werewolf would be able to heal without the venom from the one who had the poison so how did Arlie heal.

It's was either this girl was different from the rest of them or

Or....

There was no other explanation because Arlie and Lyra weren't friends for Lyra to freely give out her venom.

Elara stormed through the halls and barged into Thane's office hurriedly.

Thane looked up immediately he saw her

How'd it go, did you heal her? Thane asked immediately he saw her

Thane was a mind reader, he could read the mind of everything and everyone in the galaxy, manipulate it, control it and speak to it,

but he couldn't read her's, she made sure of that.

I didn't heal her, elara replied

What do you mean you didn't heal her elara!

She could die from the poison, Thane said trying to be calm

How could I?

She was already healed when I got there, Elara replied with her Scottish accent.

"I don't get it, did she..."

Yes! she healed herself, elera said cutting him off

How's that even possible, Celeste who had been quiet the whole time joined in the conversation

Elara shrugged, her brow furrowed in confusion. "I don't know. I thought maybe you two could tell me?"

Elara's eyes darted around the room as if searching for an answer

The girl is an anima, Thane said finally breaking the confusion in the room

An Anima???...Elara said laughing

I think you also need healing thane, Elara joked

I'm not joking Elara, I know it sounds impossible but she is, how do you explain her powers being able to break a wall that was crafted with ancient magic that is thousands of years older than her, only ancient magic can destroy ancient magic,

You're the one taking care of Marcus right?

How do you explain the Burns on his skin, did you see them closely?

The fire burned him for weeks and he still hasn't recovered fully despite how powerful you are.

Should a normal 16 year old be that powerful???

Elara's face turned pale immediately

Ma.. maybe she's just Very powerful, like Soren

He has extraordinary abilities too, Elara stuttered

I ran a background check on her, her parents are Archer and Rima, Celeste retorted

And how do you explain her healing herself, "I've seen it before, Elara.

In ancient texts. A warrior with the ability to absorb the power of their enemies or opponent.

It's a rare gift, a dangerous one, a gift that only the one who yields the Anima possesses, Celeste said seriously

This is big news, why wasn't I informed before hand, Elara said

Well we weren't sure at first, but now we've confirmed it, we Just need to help her control it else it'll destroy her, destroy us and destroy the entire galaxy, Thane's said with grave eyes.

We should really work on her temper, she's a fierce one, Elara said

I'll see to it that the professor's organize teachings about it, Celeste said

Someone sneaked out of the school some days ago, please look into that too,we can't have our students walking in and out of school at will, it's not safe Thane said to Celeste

"I will"

Arlies parents were killed and murdered brutally, she's aware that they were taken from her but somehow she still hangs unto that hope that she'll see them again, her thirst for revenge is so strong that it grows rapidly everyday, her anger triggers her powers and makes her stronger,

But not the right type of strong, when she gets angry the powers within her makes her see even the closest friend as a deadly threat and at that point she can kill anyone, that's why we need to help her control it.

If we let her grow with this inner rage, she'll become something none of us will ever be able to control or defend ourselves against.

But for now, let's Just keep a close eye on her, thane said

Alright, I'll keep everything you Just said in mind , if Arlie can harness the power of the shadow creatures, who knows what other abilities she may have?" Elara replied

True,

Just please don't let her know about anything we discussed here, we told her about her powers but she doesn't know the depth of it yet, let's not scare her.

Just make up an explanation as to why her wounds healed themselves, make It believable please, thane said to Elara

I understand, I'll do that, she replied

If that's all, you may go now, Thane said dismissively

Elara exited Thanes office, on her way back to Arlie's room her mind couldn't stop replaying the events that happened in the office, she couldn't believe that something that had been in extinction among her people for years had now come back.

She wondered what this new change meant for them.
