5 :

I woke up the next morning and ate mybreakfast , I've been thinking about the map which I found last night and what mystery does it hold .

I went to Jerrys house early in the morning and asked her if she was interested in uncovering a great mystery about a map .

" So ..? " I smiled trying to convince her " fine ,but right after I finish brushing my hair !" she nodded .

We went through our secret passage ( it wasn't a passage ,it was a tiny door that I made when I was a kid ) .

We arrived at the forest like the picture drawn on the map ,but we didn't find any valuable treasure or my abilities " hello young girls " an old man crept out of the bushes " AAAAAAA!!!!!!!" we both screamed " 🤨" the old man was confused " stay back , I have a very dangerous self defence mechanism and I'm not afraid to use it " I said while my hands froze in fear .

" what is it ?" Jerry whispered " I don't know ,I just made that up " I nodded .

" don't worry young once , I am the old man who drew that map " the old man smiled " is it really you ? " I asked suspiciously "Yes in deed " he replied " prove it " I said in confidence " you see ,the direction on the map is based on the direction of stars ,thats why you can't understand the symbols " the old man replied .

" well you look a lot older than I imagined" I nodded , " Wisdom does not choose age ,whether your old or young ,Wisdom comes from the mind and heart " The old man replied .

I saw the map and he was right , I couldn't understand the symbols .

" what are you doing here anyways ?" I asked as I gave the map to the old man " I've been waiting for you to come here for 16 years " the old man replied " you've been under this bush for 16 years !!!!!!!😱" I yelled " no !no ! , I've been in this forest for 16 years " he nodded .

" but why ? " I asked " I knew that you wouldn't be able to manage your powerful abilities , I've been struggling to find a way to remove them ,but unfortunately I couldn't . Uniqa your powers and strong ,strong enough to eliminate a country in a blink of an eye " the old man said with a worried face " how did you know about my abilities ? " I asked " dear , I'm more than a thousand years old , I know much " the old man smiled .

" That explains his face " I whispered to Jerry " you know that your talking loudly " the man nodded " eh ,huh ...sorry " I said while feeling a bit shy .

" So how can I control my abilities if I don't even know what they are , is it 1 or 2 ?! , is it water or fire ? " I said while breathing quickly " don't worry ,that's why I brought you here , we have a long Journey ahead of us " the old man nodded .

We went to the old mans house and he started giving us some basic information about my abilities .

" Uniqa , you should know that your powers are unsafe and dangerous , but remember that you're not the only one with an ability " the old man nodded , he took out a book from his shelf and continued " there are different people with different abilities , but those people decreased over time , humans with no abilities started discriminating and beliving that those people with abilities are dangerous , they killed most of them to make them vanish from this planet " he nodded " I'm I going to be killed too ,!!!😱😭 " I shouted " No , but if people knew they might " the old man said while closing the book .

" I'm going to die 😢😭😭😭" I said while laying on the floor " don't worry, if you controlled your abilities ,you won't be in danger " the old man nodded " So am I the only one left with an ability ? " I asked " not quite , there are about 6 people left with some abilities ,but yours is stronger than all others combined " he replied.

" Cool !" I said while sitting back on the branch , " don't feel so reliefed ,your abilities are extremely unstable and may cause harm " the old man nodded

" So what should we do ?!" I said while sitting properly and feeling a bit concerned" We are going to train you to control those abilities of yours ,and it will take some time " the old man said while arranging his shelf , "Ok then ,thanks old man " I smiled " You can call me master !" he nodded " why ?🤨 " I asked " Cause I am a master " he said again " Su...re " I nodded .

We went back home with Jerry and back to our tents as the old man told us that we finished learning for today though we did not learn anything useful about my abilities ,we just learned about how to be wise and other boring stuff .

But I am so exited about my abilities , I know now that I have something special ,something that makes me different and unique .

People in the village used to get angry at me whenever I burn a chickens feather to wake them up ,and they also used to be mad whenever I play with mud and when I encourage kids to play with mud .

Mom and dad used to apologise to people about my act and they punished me for destroying other peoples property .

And know I'm 16 ,but I still do all those activities that I did when I was a kid except for destroying other peoples property ,I only destroy tools and objects which also make other people angry if it's their tool .

Well since then I had no friends except for Jerry , they all think I'm too crazy to hang out with and they are right ,but I don't care as long us I have Jerry ,she is a true friend .

I was Imagining about the type of ability I may posses and how much fun it would be to train in the forest with an old man who claims himself to be a master .
