Neither of them knew how to fight with the weapon, and Delaney nodded her head. I guess it made sense. None of them really seemed to be the type to be holding someone hostage or practicing knife skills on the side. There were other types of weapons near them, but there would be no point in asking about them if they said no to the first one. Remi took the weapon out of her hand and put it back. âHave you ever tried making a weapon?â Delaney looked at him, confused. She didnât know how she could make a weapon. She looked around. She didnât see anything she could work with, so sheâd have to start from scratch. She shook her head slightly, answering Remiâs question. She looked at Eva before extending her hands in front of her and closing her eyes. She had to concentrate. She didnât know how to construct a weapon or what kind of weapon she should even make, but something was better than nothing. Just as she was about to start, she heard a bang. It wasnât too loud, but it was loud enough to make her jump and lose her focus. Then she saw Talia standing by them, right next to Remi. Delaney was amazed, and couldnât think of what to say. But right now, words didnât seem to matter. Talia was seemingly perfectly healthy. Already.
Nathan could work with hand to hand combat. He was excited now, actually. He looked at Cami, who seemed to have shrank back the slightest bit. He smiled at her and stepped up to Greyson. He would take the first fight. Not just because he wanted to, but because he knew how Cami felt about fighting. She most likely didnât want to participate, and until she had to, Nathan would take a few rounds with Greyson. He held out his hand to Greyson to shake before they started. The fighting would be key to training, and it would be fun to see what everyone was capable of.
Ophelia made a weak attempt, or what appeared to be weak attempt, of a fireball and tossed it at Ezraâs feet. Willow watched as the orange ball disappeared shortly after hitting the ground. Ezra was quick to react, creating an practically invisible wall in front of him. Willow watched silently as the two continued training. There was not much she could do but sit and watch. After a few minutes, she heard a loud bang and turned her head to see what the noise was. It turned out to be a person. She watched as Talia came charging in. Willow watched as the girl stormed over to her brother, a visible fire raging within her. She raised an eyebrow. She wasnât surprised at how the girl was acting, but how quickly she had recovered. It seemed like the tragedy had happened two hours ago. âWell would you look at that..â
âWell you donât have a choice. We need to protect ourselves against Kain and training with others will help.â Damian found it hard to believe that he was being told, almost threatened, that he had to stay and train with them. Participation, apparently, was a must. He didnât think so. He stared at the two for a few moments. Matthew had backed away and Eric had crossed his arms, showing he wouldnât take no for an answer. Damian quickly assessed the situation, and it appeared it would be in his best situation to submit to the demands and agree to train. But no such thing would be happening. Not now, not ever. âI am well aware of the predicament we are all in, and the misfortunes that have occurred since we have arrived. However, I do not believe in group work. I have never worked with others, and doing so goes against my personal beliefs.If I asked a Catholic to kill a sinner because it guaranteed the safety of thousands, what do you believe he would do? While their faith declares they should devote themselves to the wellbeing and care of others, killing defies their Lordâs highest laws, the Ten Commandments. It goes against all their beliefs. Your demanding me to participate, to throw away the beliefs I hold most dear and shape my life according to, is asking me to defy my own God.â The comparison he made may have seemed a little extreme, but it related to their case. In this case, Damian was the Catholic. Lord Kain was the sinner. The thousands were the rest of the group and the world, for that matter. A door closed and Talia walked swiftly across the room, straight to her brother. âWhat good is a fighter at war, if also at war with himself?â
Remi watched as Delaney attempted to make a weapon out of thin air. He was ready and willing to explain what he meant, but she appeared to have grasped the idea just fine. The blonde gave her his undivided attention, until a loud bang caused him to look up. If he had the weapon in his hand still he would have dropped it from the shock. His sister walked into the room as if she had never been even touched. She looked even better than before. She walked straight to him, asking who she was supposed to kill, but Remi didnât give her an answer. He simply wrapped his arms around his sister and hugged her as if he hadnât seen her in years. He didnât say anything in fear that he would burst out in tears. Talia, however, couldnât keep quiet. âIâm fine, iâm fineâ she whined, but couldnât help but smile at her brotherâs reaction. Once she managed to get herself away from Remi she looked around the room. Matthew was the closest one to her. The blonde didnât hesitate before rushing over and hugging her best friend tightly. Matthew could not believe that his best friend was okay. Celeste wasnât saying anything about her condition and he never got to see her. He had thought the worse, but here she was. Alive. And hugging him rather tightly. Matt didnât want to let go of her. âI canât believe you are here! I-I-I thought I would never see you again!â he exclaimed, still shocked that she was even standing before him. Matt pretty much dragged his best friend towards his group, leaving Remi and his group alone.
Delaney watched as Remi and Talia embraced each other, and she couldnât help but smile. It was obvious the two loved each other beyond belief, like normal family members did, and the interaction made her think of her own family. She thought of her family, and even Nathan. She couldnât bring herself to even look at him. It brought a sour taste in her mouth, and she frowned the slightest bit. He didnât matter right now. Talia was okay, and Remi was finally able to stop worrying about her dying. Thatâs all that mattered. She looked at Eva, who seemed to be watching the siblings as well. Delaney nudged her friend with her elbow,
âThis is probably the most beautiful thing Iâve seen since weâve got here.â Delaney then turned her attention back to Remi, who seemed content.
Evangeline watched this interaction between brother and sister. It was a beautiful thing. Remi clearly loved Talia. It made her think of her own brother. Despite how crazy he may seem, she wouldnât know what to do without him. Eva glanced over at him and smiled softly. She would have to remember to make sure that she tells her brother that she actually does love him and that he isnât the protective monster she claims him to be. Her attention went to Delaney as he nudged her and she nodded in agreement. âI know. Iâm glad she is okay.â Both the girls towards Remi. He looked happy now. No more worrying about his sister well being. She was more than fine and even ready to fight Kain. âAlright Remi. Whatâs the plan?â Eva asked, ready to get training officially started.
Remi watched his sister with a smile. He hadnât smiled in way too long. He had forgotten what it felt like. It was Evaâs voice that brought him back to the issue at hand. He looked at the girls and placed his hands on his hips, directing his attention to Delaney. âAlright, so how about that weapon?â he said, staring at the empty space she had been staring at before. He knew she was more than capable of making one. She just had to concentrate. WIth a power like hers, it would be fairly easy. âTry making a bow and arrowâ he instructed. It would be the easiest to make using plants. âJust close your eyes and picture what you want it to look likeâ. Remi had attempted to make many weapons before, but he imagined Delaneyâs would look much better than his.
The moment was over and Eva asked Remi what their next move was. He brought his attention to her and Delaney nodded. Of course, the weapon. âTry making a bow and arrow.â Delaney hadnât thought about that one. She didnât know what she planned on making before, but now with instructions, she couldnât let her imagination run wild. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes. She extended both hands out, and relaxed. All she had to do was think of what it wanted to look like, and it should be there. It didnât take as much effort as she thought. She focused her energy in her hands and thought about the bow and arrow just being there. She felt the plants being formed in her hands, small vines twisting and turning and binding together. She let them expand and multiply until she thought what she had done was sufficient. She peaked one eye open, and examined her work. It wasnât as big as she had expected, but it was a decent size. She ran her fingers over the bow to see how sturdy it was, then did the same with the arrow. Not too bad, but could be better. She set the bow down, and clutched the arrow with both hands, changing the chemical components around. She set the arrow down once it was more sturdy, and did the same with the bow. She offered the finished product to Remi, waiting for his approval. Remi watched in amazement as Delaney worked her magic. It really was a very beautiful and unique element. He almost wished he had it, instead of his. Once she had finished, she handed him the finished product. The group leader took the weapon into his hands, examining it closely, and let a smile appear on his face. âNice!â he exclaimed, more than happy with the outcome. Especially since it was her first time making it. He lifted his hand up to give the blonde a high five before handing her the weapon again. She could clearly manage her power very well. The leader then turned to Evangeline. He thought for a moment on how to get a good idea of what she could do. If the girl could manipulate air, that meant she should be able to expand and compress it to her liking. Remi looked down at the weapon Delaney had created. He carefully took it from her once more and set it on the ground. âTry shooting the arrowâ he said, directing his attention to Eva now. âBut no using your handsâ. Remi was curious to see if the girl could pull it off. A bow and arrow took great precision to be able to shoot it correctly. If Eva could manage to do that by using nothing but air, he would be impressed. Evangeline almost missed Remiâs order, he was so mesmerized by Delaney ability. The weapon was beautiful. But now Remi was asking her to shoot the arrow without her hands. How was she supposed to do that? Then it hit her. Remi wanted Eva to manipulate the air and shot the bow. For a moment she stared at the bow, laying on the ground. Holding out her hand, she managed to moved the bow a little. She was having serious difficulty getting it in the air. Taking a deep breath, Eva managed to get a steady stream of air going. The bow lifted off the ground and now she was focusing on the arrow. The arrow lifted up and she struggled trying to get them together. The streams of air refused to cross and she needed to figure out to get them in the same stream. Slowly, she got the bow and arrow on the same stream of air and using another stream she got the arrow to get shot out of the bow. It didnât go very far, but she got it.
Remi gave Eva his undivided attention. At first it seemed like she wasnât going to get anywhere with the task he had given her Maybe he was asking for too much, too soon. Still, he remained silent and let her concentrate. After a few more tries, the blonde watched in surprise as Eva picked up the bow and arrow and managed to shoot. It didnât get far, but it was a lot better than what he had expected to see. The leader smiled in satisfaction. âI think weâre off to a very good startâ.
