Chapter 13: Explain

*Kaler POV*

We both sat down on this table a while ago, but neither of us had said anything. Not a single word. It has also been awhile since I've been to Aurora's house. It was still as grand and as beautiful as ever. As expected, her parents aren't home either. Just the kitchen alone was a sight to behold. The chandelier dangling above the table, the expensive art work hung on every wall. The smart television at the dining area, where we were sitting. Just the sheer size of the kitchen was the size of my living room, and the dining area attached to it could make it rival the whole apartment my parents and I lived in.

There were a million and one things on my mind. I wanted to ask her how she felt about me. I wanted to ask her to train me. I wanted to talk about our exams that just finished. However, it was difficult to find the words.

"You are struggling master…" Volt's voice called out to me telepathically. He was currently being stored as a spirit in the gauntlet, the same with the other avatars I collect I presumed. I began to talk to Volt telepathically. I could only assume that form the outside, that i looked like i a freak.

"Yeah! I want her to train me, I want to talk to her, but I can't find the words. Furthermore, she might question my sudden surge of power. I have a feeling she knows i was behind the blackout. Should i let her know of the gauntlets? Is that a good decision?" I asked, i was starting to sound frantic and desperately. I could not look up to look at her. I can only imagine her expression.

"I see…Usually, i would advise against anyone knowing your true title. Although, I do suppose that it is unavoidable in some cases. Furthermore, you seem to trust her master, so it might be ok." Volt advised.

"Really?" I asked questioningly, frowning.

"Yes. In addition to that…She feels oddly…comforting. This individual named Aurora, she is quite unique. If you trust her, I see no harm. However, the decision is ultimately up to you, master."

I inhaled, then sharply looked up at Aurora who seemed to be staring at me the whole time. She looked surprised when i looked at her. After a few seconds of my creepy staring, i suddenly asked, " Aurora, will you teach me to use magic?"

She looked shocked for another few seconds. The anxiety was starting to kill me, my arms starting sparking as lightning bolts started to burn the table cloth. It left scorch marks. The blue table cloth started being dotted with black markings. Seeing the lightning coming out of my forearms, Aurora was even more surprised, covering her mouth. It made me even more anxious and a ring of lightning started to gather around me like a tesla coil. Knowing what was about to happen, Aurora uncovered her mouth and stopped me.

"Kale! Kale! Calm down. Calm down ok…" She said, her voice trembling full of worry. Hearing this, i realised what i was doing and immediately controlled my self. The electricity faded. I leaned back against the chair and sighed, as did she. We looked at each other for awhile, then she finally said. "I will. I will train you Kaler. But you have to answer a few questions first."

I knew she would do something like this. I nodded, preparing to answer her questions. "Did you cause the blackout?" She asked, her eyes fierce. I knew she would ask this question. Her eyes were drilling into my soul, threatening me to tell the truth. Fortunately, I fully intended to do so.

"Yes." I said simply and sharply. After my answer, she seemed to be taken aback. Here I thought she would have known I was behind it. " Surprised? "

"Yes… and no." She was getting more cryptic with every passing day. "I knew that you caused the blackout. But I am just wondering when you were able to emit a pulse the size of nuclear bomb. Care to explain?" She was now looking at me with accusing eyes. Now this is a dilemma and a half. As a long term friend, i have not reason to be distrustful of Aurora. At the same time, I have not idea how my life would change if i did tell her. Though Volt said she can be trusted, I would honor tradition for now and keep my title a secret. However, I also wanted to know something from her in return.

"If I tell you, would promise to answer any question I ask later?" I asked in a deep voice, like those typical underground drug dealers. To my surprise, Aurora backed away and shrank from me. That was a first. She was rarely so intimidated by me. She obediently nodded her head. I was about to lie, I had to be careful. I sighed and nodded my head.

"Yesterday, on my birthday, when I went missing, I stumbled across a cave." I started. She was staring at me attentively, her light blue eyes drilling into me once more. I gulped and continued my explanation. "In the cave, there was this spellstone. It contained an immense amount of magical power. I touched it, and it enhanced my physicality and my affinity for lightning. Look…" I summoned lightning in my hands and the bolts were stationary, the brilliant yellow lightning bolts danced aorund in my hand, if they ever made it past my palm, they would flow back into the centre, like a vortex.

Aurora was astounded by the display in front of her. Her eyes were glued to the lightning bolts being emitted from my palm. I dispelled the lightning and leaned against the chair. '"So, I assume that the blackout was caused by you losing control." I nodded defeatedly. I always emit a similar pulse when I am stressed or lose control of my powers or feelings. "Why were you there in the first place?" She interrogated further. I started sweating, I did not think that she would ask that. Frankly, I did not think of answer to that.

"I was kidnapped. Went out skating cuz i was restless, then a bunch of guys caught me and dragged me there." She stared at me intently, gauging me. Did she know I was lying? Lying to her was never a good idea in the first place. She always sees through me. After what felt like forever, she stopped staring and sighed.

"Alright. Because i have no proof otherwise, I will believe you. I will train you. Now…you also had a question? What is it?" The atmosphere around us seemed to have grown cold. Not in terms of temperature though. I could feel she was feeling bitter. Her face was not adorned with her usual cheerful smile, not even a trace of it.

"I will ask it later." I answered simply.. She nodded, then stood up and signalled me to follow her.
