Chapter 32: Ghazan.
"Did you want meet me, why did Zillah bring me here?"...She sounded nice.
Aeron and Zillah had come to eavesdrop already, meeting cristal there. The three of them leaned to the door.
Why would Zillah bring her here?... he thought.
"You look pale, what happened?"..., she asked him.
He replied... "I'm fine".
"You don't look fine"...she said, sounding serious.
He looked at her confused by her actions, like she doesn't know what she did.
The others too were confused at what was happening.
"Is she okay"....Aeron said. Daivik was confused.
He asked her, "do you know what happened five days ago?..."
"What happened?"... she asked.
"Oh, would you stop pretending"... Aeron said. Zillah slapped his chest.
"What?,"...
"It looks like she lost her memory"...Cristal said.
"What kind of sudden memory loss is that"...Zillah asked.
"If we are this confused, daivik should be even worse, I'll go in"... Aeron entered the room.
Cristal and Zillah moved away from the door as soon he entered, they returned to their position.
"What happened five days ago?..." keva asked Aeron. Daivik looked at Aeron.
"Keva what's wrong with you"...Aeron asked putting his hand on his waist,
"how can you not remember the incident that you created".
"What incident?..." she asked looking confused.
Aeron sighed, "you...."
"No incident"...Zillah said entering the room.
Daivik was shocked with her sudden entrance, "where you eavesdropping?,..."
"Maybe....
I was passing by, yes I was, she couldn't deny it".
"But listen keva, you created nothing okay, it's just that there was alot going on and you were down in health, Cristal told you that you needed some rest, but you refused".
"But what happened?...." she asked wanting to still know.
"Nothing...". she shouted. "This guys are lazy, they needed help but you weren't there so I filled in for you".
"You were missing too Zillah"... daivik Said.
She responded,
"because I myself was tired, just like keva, okay. We were both stressed out and our absence led to overworking of the both of them, look she pointed, daivik looks sick".
"But we'll be well soon, you need rest Keva, I mean you can't even remember what happened in the past five days, you are too tired, go take a rest".
She indicated for cristal to take her away, cristal walked in.
"You too Cristal"....keva asked surprised.
"No, I was just passing by, and listening let's go"....they teleported away.
"Zillah"... daivik called her name.
"Listen if she can't remember what happened in the past days it means something is up somewhere"... she said.
"It is either we aren't with keva, or she had amnesia for five days straight. Don't tell her anything otherwise she would be worried".
"What about you?... where were you for the past five days?..."
"I..I was with alvah"...she replied.
"Oh".
"Yes"... she nodded.
I was supposed to be somewhere, she said to herself or with someone
"No!"...she shouted.
She teleported to the garden, looking around,
"where is he?,
Maybe I should meditate for awhile and he will come out, she sat on the grass with her legs crossed".
"Don't do that".... she heard a voice.
"You're here"...
"How could you forget?..." he said.
"I'm sorry, it's just that something happened while I was inside, I had to help settle things".
"I saw what happened, were you really going to hurt her". he asked.
"It wasn't going to be painful, but, concerning the poison, is there anything poisonous found in Elysian".
"I'm not sure about that, but that is not why I'm here".
"Okay, sorry, let's proceed. So the gift, where's my gift?"...
"You sound curious".
"Of course"...she replied.
He said to her,... "I will give you the gift but under one condition".
"That I will return it, of course I will, I promise".
"That, and that I will be your mentor for the time being",... he said.
"Mentor, I knew you were a Celestial.
What do you want to mentor me on, if it's on weaponry, don't worry I have two mentors on that.
"Do you have a teacher guiding you in using your powers?".
"Well, omna was until he told me to focus more on using my weapon. Till now anything is self taught".
"So you accept my mentorship?".., he asked confirming
"Yes, I accept".
"You are my first student and after death. It would have been more fun if I was alive"... he said.
She said to him....,
"poor you, I can still make it up to you, I'll be a good student".
"Not just that, but a fast learner because I would take it from you sooner".... he told her.
"okay..." she said.
"Another thing, you will promise not to reveal my identity".
"I doubt that you were once a ranking member among the Celestials, will you clear my doubt"..... she asked raising her brow and smiling widely.
His image became more clearer than yesterday, but Zillah still couldn't identify the man in front of her.
He understood. "He said to her, You are from earth"....
"Yes...she replied, I'm a new Celestial".
"Mmh"...he nodded.
"You have blonde hair just like me"...
she said, pointing at his hair and her hair.
"Apart from teacher and student relationship, we both have blonde hair".
"Not just that"
"Really What else".... she asked curiously.
He said to her...
"You are bearing my power".
"Your power"....She gasped heavily,
"You are Ghazan Empyreal Of Air".... she sounded amazed.
"Yes"... he responded.
"Oh my goodness"....she shouted.
Let's go somewhere more secluded. He teleported with her to a valley.
She wasn't surprised by the beautiful nature but by who was with her.
He could even touch her
"But you were dead".she said directly.
"Well, yes, but..."
"Are you a wandering spirit"... she asked.
"No....he replied, I came to you".
"But why, and how"...she kept asking.
"Like I said before you ask too many questions Zillah, but I'll answer them".
"You are desperate I once said it. But you told me you only wanted to become stronger. I was sent back by the Lords to you, to find out your reason for using five percent of the element extensively even though you know your limits".
"You bothered them enough, so I am your solution, which is why, your problem is solved by me giving you my ninety percent energy to perform the power but temporarily".
"You are very privileged Zillah, you'll get to perform what even Third Chamber Empyreal Of Air couldn't"
"Summoning your Eagle". she said happily.
"Yes"....he smiled at her.
"This is not a dream"... she shouted.
"I see you were that desperate because you want to survive the infernal evaluation, but how certain are you of that last test?"....
"Yes,.....I want to survive"
"You said you were going to answer all my questions today, I have a few, can I?"
"Sure,"...he said.
she asked, "How do you know about the infernal evaluation test?"....
He answered, "I acquired knowledge Zillah. But since the first Chamber, it was prohibited for the Celestials to read any book from the library".
"Were you told not to break the order,?"....he asked
"Yes", she answered.
"Have you broken that order Zillah?"....
"If you know then why ask me, I'm very sorry. The truth is that I read on the history of you because I needed to know more about your powers".
"Even omna wasn't as curious as you, he was contented with what he had".
"Yes", she answered.
"That means if I give you ninety percent now you would have ninety five percent which makes you an almost complete bearer of my power.
But you can't summon my animal"....he concluded
"What?"....she asked shocked.
"Omna is with my remaining five percent, you can't go to him and collect it just to make yours a hundred percent".
"What should I do?"...she asked him.
"I'll train you to increase your energy to have the ability to summon it even though you don't have the full power".
"But when you gave omna your ten percent were you still able to summon it".
"Of course, he belongs to me, I'm his master".
"But you, you'll have a hard time summoning him, and you know you'll have to learn it quickly who knows when your test will come up".
"Also learning that skill does not mean you can perform the other skills because they require lower energy. You still have to learn each of them separately".
"What is the point of learning this skill when you will cease it from me sooner".
Let that not discourage you Zillah, even though you have only but five percent, mustering up enough energy would still help you, but only to ten percent skill".
"Why is it that low that?...."
"This is the founding air power, it's aura is massive than that of third Chamber, if you think you've mustered enough energy, don't be surprised it would only increase by one percent and we both know that there is no six percent skill of my power.
I wonder how you were able to bring something out with just five percent but you should be happy".
