Chapter 24
1079words
A week has passed. My bits and pieces of information started to give me clues and realizations of what's actually happening.
My purpose in Vortaxia.
Why Lucio was trying so hard to make me his son's parsen.
Why me and Damon are receiving discrimination as parsens.
At first, I find it hard. I thought I would just be a typical bystander here. I didn't know that Aluncina's words were actually true. I have a responsibility in my world.
I am somewhat hope in here.
A savior?
I can't even... I don't have a power. Elaine has powers and so as Gabby. Others have powers but I do not. I tried everything like literally. I wanted to know if my hobbies has something to do with my gift but it just doesn't make any sense.
I learned about my parents. Hlaford told me about it. My father was a great airbender. He was the professor for Chosens with similar gifts. My mother was like Elaine. She controlled plants and trees. They're powerful, aren't they?
They must have felt disappointed seeing me right now...
They ended up having a powerless daughter like me. Gaviel's prophecy does not make any sense. Maybe Hlaford had mistaken me as the savior they're talking about?
How could a powerless Chosen like me be that savior. That's a joke.
"Ready?" he asked. I boringly looked at him and forced a smile.
Speaking of... Classife will be held today. I learned about its purpose from Elaine. They're going to found out what kind of powers do we have and group us according to the capabilities we have to enhance.
What will I do?
Should I put gas in my mouth and spit fire?
"They're waiting," he says.
Damon sits beside me and hold my hand. He knows I'm nervous as horse shit right now. I'm afraid that my situation would cause so much trouble not just from but to Hlaford as well.
They've never had a powerless Chosen before.
I smiled at him and stand. Nothing's going to change even if I think about it anyway. Might as well face my faith.
We both headed to the main hall where everyone is waiting for their unicorns. Bubbles is with me anyway. I've never seen her for two days. I found that she had stollen a bread and got punished for it. I felt bad. She was so hesitant to consult me her hunger that she had chosen to stole food.
I told her that I am not her master and I am her friend. She can tell me everything. That's when I received another gift from her.
A gold pen.
"Heyyyy!!!" Petuñia squeaks as she flap her wings rapidly in front of us. I laughed at her cheerfulness. Cronosus went flying behind her and they almost lost their balance in the air.
"Let's get going!" Cronosus said loudly.
Damon helped me get up on Petuñia's back. Bubbles is on my bag. She wanted to come so bad saying that she'll be more than happy to serve me during Classife.
If she only knows...
The whiff of wind blows on my fave as we slowly ascended to the sky. My hands are tightly secure to the lace attached to Petuñia's.
The flight didn't take long or is it just me being nervous and all?
The time's flying too fast.
My hands turned cold as soon as we reached the ground.
"We're here..." Petuñia mumbled, reminding me how will I end my life here in Vortaxia.
Damon lend me his hand waiting for me to accept it. "I'll be here. Don't be scared," he whispers. I forced a smile and accepted his support.
His warm hand dominated mine. I still see a few of Chosens looking at us and I try to don't mind them. They're making me more nervous. We chose to sit on the front where we could easily leave and go. We were like superstars being watched my paparazzi as we make our way to the seat.
I scanned the place and saw a few elements on the show floor. Something that could help the Chosens express their gifts.
I heaved a sigh when I saw Damon glaring in each and everyone of them. He's trying to scare them off to make me feel better.
I appreciate the effort.
It had been only fifteen minutes and so when a loud music started filling the round stadium.
It's starting.
"Vostacios Chosens!" a loud voice greeted. Everyone answered in chorus except for me and Damon. I smiled when I saw Elaine and Gabby running towards us.
They're late.
I looked above and saw a hologram of a big man. He has a really long hair and beard. He's wearing a piece of soiled cloth enough to cover his lower part.
He's extremely intimidating.
"I am Diante. The lord of Classife. You are all gathered in here to witness each other's gifts. The new generation of Chosens has come indeed. I am very honored to classify all of you according to your gifts..." he says a lot of things but my mind is too blank. I can't even bring myself to look at him directly.
I started worrying about Damon.
He's not from here. I'm sure that they will protest once he turns himself to a dragon.
I'm quite curious. What does he look like as a dragon?
"Without further a do fellow Chosens. Let's start with Joana Bills!" he yells. The crowd started cheering for her name. A girl stands in the middle of the bleachers and use her powers to fly in the middle of the bowl.
Cool
"Wingeria!" Diante yells and a group of Chosens seated on blue bleachers started cheering.
"Freddy Jackson," he calls again. A man wearing a full striped outfit came out of the crowd and show us his gift.
He manipulates the water on the pool and throw it to a torch. I clapped in amazement forgetting the worry in my heart.
"Aquarius!" Diante yells and a group of Chosens seated on the green bleachers started cheering.
"Freeda Columbus!"
A woman from the middle of the crowd suddenly shifted to an eagle.
She looks familiar.
She went flying around the stadium and the Chosens went crazy for it.
"Caveatis!" Diante yells and group of Chosens seated on black bleachers started cheering.
The Chosens showing their gifts started increasing rapidly. I will be called soon.
Oh God Gaviel please help me...
