Snippet #1364678

Tristan was genuinely impressed with Jason's power as he witnessed him single-handily lift up the kitchen table. The table didn't look particularly light, either .. it had a really fancy carved, marble top. Tristan wouldn't get anywhere near lifting it up with even two hands.

"Oh and you have that weird ability to... I don't know, calm people down or whatever."

"How did you know?" Tristan asked, cocking his head. Had he been unintentionally "calming" people ever since he got here? And if so, how could Jason tell it was his presence? He could tell from Jason's expression that he had no idea how to describe Tristan's power. "I don't really know the ins and outs of it either." he replied in tandem to Jason's thoughts. "But that's not all .... check this out." Tristan reached inside his pocket and pulled out his diamond. "I found this when I was 13, a psychic had visited my mother and I a couple years before that; she told me that diamonds would play an extremely important role throughout my life. This one is worth a couple million." Naturally, Tristan expected Livana and Jason's eyes to widen; he let out a small laugh. "Don't even bother trying to steal it though; many have tried, and zero have succeeded. This little sucker has a way of finding his way back to me, whatever the case." Suddenly, and completely unexpected to Tristan, the diamond began to "glow" and emanate rainbow lights on all the walls of the kitchen. He was thoroughly confused, considering there was no sunlight shining in from the window for the diamond to refract .. it was still raining like nobody's business, and it was well past sundown. Jason, who had still been holding up the table (Tristan figured he must have forgot) suddenly lost all strength and slammed the table down to the floor. Tristan jumped, nearly having a heart attack at the loud noise and unexpected occurrence. At that simultaneous moment, the rainbow lights of the diamond had entirely dissipated. "Whoa ... that was crazy.. are you okay?" he asked, approaching Jason. "That's so weird.. that's never happened before. Where was that light even coming from??" Tristan looked entirely puzzled, and he looked back and forth from Livana's face to Jason's, in search of an answer, even though he doubted he would get one.
