Chapter 16: Test.
"Wow your room is nice and welcoming, I love it"...., Alana complemented.
"Yes but it's not as big as the others".
Zillah still can't get over the fact that her room was smaller than the others.
"That's because it's only you in this room, it's big enough for solitaire, like you. The others are paired so theirs have to be bigger"
She explained this properly to Zillah, but she still feels envious.
"I wanted to ask you Zillah, are you perhaps training, and who is your teacher?"...
"Yes actually, and I'm still under training, my teachers are Aeron and daivik".
"Their training you on swords fighting?"...she asked.
"Yes".
"What's your specialty?"... she asked further.
Zillah replied,..
" I really wouldn't call it specialty but my weapon is a katana which daivik had given to me".
"How far have you come with it?"..., she continued.
"Not that far, but I'll get used to it".
"Zillah, you know, you have to persevere and work harder"... she sounded serious,
"From what you are telling me, you haven't gone anywhere in training".
"What do you mean?".... Zillah's expression too had changed.
" I'm more determined than you think, it's just that I have a few set backs that's all".
A few set backs, that's making everyone here think much about you than they should, you shouldn't be weak"...
"It's not like I'm a burden to them or something, I'm just not quick witted, but I'm not weak"...
"I didn't say you are, but if anyone describes who you are now...I'm probably not the first to tell you this right".
Zillah protested,
"I am not weak, I am strong, I went into a state depression because what ever I do just keeps lagging.
Truly you aren't the first to see me as a weakling, your brother did to".
"I'm not saying this to put you down Zillah, but you can't be like this and carryout the mission assigned to you".
"Well I can't be perfect"... she said to Alana
"You can try to be,".... Alana counteracts.
"Alvah isn't understanding anymore, your task here is big, but your effort is small".
Zillah's pitch went higher as she had became even more furious with Alana,
"Alvah is a lunatic, he plays, jokes around, laughs with you the day he wants to kill you,
He almost killed me, he almost killed omna.
Thanks to my appearance that day omna would've died".
Her pitch reduced,
"Sure I'm useless, I can't use the Celestials natural power of teleportation, I can't teleport.
I came here having no skills or powers, thanks to omna who gave me part of his power because he understands me".
"Everyone runs around and protect me but I don't like it, I want to fend for myself. I don't want people to solve my problems. I felt and I'm feeling a lot of pain".
"Omna gave you his power"....Alana asked.
"Yes, he did, I used the power to save him that day. I have a huge responsibility and I've started nowhere.
I almost died a several times because of your brother".
"You were chosen for alvah from the beginning, so no matter the trials, he will come back to you"...., Alana spilled it to Zillah,
she had to say that.
Zillah looked in her eyes.
"Yes, You weren't just picked at random, everything has a reason".
"Was that why....?"
"Yes,...Alana completed her words saying, that was why you were loveless on Earth, you weren't even going to get married".
"I watched you on earth, I knew when you were chosen, I knew your name and the reason. You can't run away from your own shadow can you, alvah can't run that far".
"Don't let past traumas affect you, start anew Zillah".
"Your parents...."
"I don't want to talk about them, it gives me bad memories. I have to go for training now". she left Alana alone in the room.
She went to her mentors room to call them out for her training,
She opened their door without knocking.
"What is it?".... Aeron asked her.
"Sorry",... she closed the door.
Aeron and daivik looked at themselves in confusion.
They then heard a knock on the door.
Aeron immediately ran to the door and opened it, "What did you do that for?"....
"It was rude of me to not knock, I apologize".
"Don't bother, go and rest now"... he said.
" I haven't had my training for awhile, I would like to train".
"No Zillah, you need to rest, you look stressed out,"... he argued with her.
"I'm stressed out because I'm not doing absolutely anything, let's go train me, I feel I'll do even better this time"...., she said believing.
"Okay, sice you insist, go get your katana, we'll meet in the training ground".
"Okay".... she left to get it.
Daivik looked at Aeron, he expected him to persuade her to rest, she really didn't look fine, but Zillah insisted.
She went back to her room, she breathed a sigh of relief that Alana was gone.
She went to her wardrobe, opened it and picked up her katana that laid down flat on the board.
In the training ground
Aeron began,
"Create a relationship with your weapon by carrying it everywhere you go, cleaning it whenever you feel the need to, not letting anyone touch your weapon.
By so doing, you will understand your weapon and your weapon will understand you too".
"Secondly, I wouldn't engage you too much in weapon fighting so you would be able to use your powers too, okay".
She nodded as a response.
"Or, we could try mixing your swords fighting with your powers, perhaps it could make a perfect combo.
Now attack me".... he said.
She took a stance, ready to attack.
"You've got a great height for a girl, but don't stand like an amateur"... daivik said.
Aeron and Zillah laughed.
He got her attention.
" Now listen Zillah, he arose from where he sat, your stance, your position is as important as it symbolizes your level in fighting"
"Yes", Aeron Concord.
"Take your mate for example, his elegant figure when he takes an action describes him as a master, a legend, a pro, you'll instantly know that he knows what he's doing".
"But there are some people you'll see, from the way they would hold their weapon, you would know they are armed for nothing".
"Now strike a pose"... Aeron commanded.
Zillah laughed at herself after a few attempts that made her look like a weirdo.
"Zillah you're making poses that downgrades your stature, do something that suits you".... daivik said to her.
She stood straight, tilting her neck to the left and leaned a little bit backward, with lazy but cold eyes and an Expressionless face.
She rested on her left hip with her hand on her waist, swaying her katana which laid on her right palm from the front to her right side,
she stood perfectly.
"Whoa"...., they both exclaimed in accordance and gazed in awe.
"Now that's an intimidating pose". daivik praised her.
"Quickly let's add up skill to that pose". Aeron said.
"Why do I feel you don't want to be here Alvah?".., Ravana said to him.
"What's your problem with me Ravana?"... Alvah shouted.
Azazel spoke slowly, "Calm yourself Ravana, Calm yourself".
"The truth is alvah isn't meant to be here, I brought him here as a test for you guys".
"Test?"... Alvah asked him.
"Yes"... test he confirmed.
"What test?".... Alvah asked.
"They would all use their powers on you, see if you can fight back".
"First up"...., Thana.
"Pass"..., Alvah said.
"It's not your choice..... Azazel said. Lock eye contact with her"... he ordered.
"Do you want me to die"... Alvah asked him
"Alvah".... Azazel shouted. All murmuring stopped.
Alvah spoke up...,
"She is thana, thana of death, locking eye contact with her for ten seconds and I will die, I thought you knew their powers"
Azazel exclaimed, "Oh, I thought you meant the other way, forget it".
Alvah looked at him with an annoying look.
"Second, Seth".
"Seth, he holds the power of inflicting fear"
He explained to Azazel because he knew clearly that Azazel doesn't know any of their powers because he was always with ravana and him.
Azazel said to Seth, "What fear can you inflict in alvah".....
Alvah's biggest fear was that he would never see his sister, and not end up with keva. Those were the two important people in his life.
"Put him in his own nightmare"...Ravana Said.
Alvah looked at him like he was looking at a fool. "You're a nuisance"... he said to ravana.
"You will lock him in his own fear for two minutes". Azazel said to Seth.
"Two minutes is too much"... Alvah spoke.
"Too much"... Ravana repeated.
"Shut up!"... Alvah said to him.
Ravana got angry, he threw a dagger which he got from his belt strap towards Alvah's face.
Alvah barely dodged it because he never saw it coming, but the tip of his fore side hair was seen on the ground.
"You dare"..., he glared at Ravana, a thin round fire surrounded Ravana's throat. He couldn't breathe.
Thana shouted, "Alvah stop".
He didn't.
Seth had wanted to use his power on him to cut contact with him and ravana.
Alvah had sensed it, he looked at Seth, his eyes were black but with a red dot inside, Seth froze up.
Alvah went missing from there.
Azazel loved what just happened. Alvah keeps refreshing his mind that he is an infernal
