Zhalia`s POV
A week after we found her. Metz told us we needed to protect Aria from the Organization. we had taken her with us ack to venice. Dante and i had talked about making her a seeker. But we weren`t sure just yet. There was still something off about her. She she was less distand than when we found her. But she still didn`t tell us everything. it was only when I found her by the canal, in the cover of trees, did I know what was going on.
she sat by the water. Eyes their rainbow neutral. She slowly moved her hand over the water and a small snake of it rose. She made a ball in her hand and her eyes began to flash different colors. she started adding rocks and fire to the mix. The ball became a mini tornado. I suspected air was the cause. She crushed it together and a purple light radiated off of her. in her hand was a perfect mixture of all the elements.
"How did you do that?" I asked. Stepping out from my hidding place. The thing fell from her hands ans she stood up startled. She looked over and breathed a sigh or relief.
"Zhalia. It`s you."
"What is that?" I picked up the object and studied it. It didn`t feel like rock. Though it lookked it. It didn`t feel like metal or any other solid substance either.
"A mixture of the elements." She hung her head in defeat as the words spilled from her mouth.
"But. How?"
"How do you think? I`m sure you saw what I did."
"The day we found you. You said you`ve hurt people. Is this what you meant?" She took the thing back and asked if we could go back to the house. I agreed. When we got there, she had everyone in the sitting room."
"I haven`t been completely honest with you." She said, playing with the thing.
"What do you mean?" Sophie asked.
"You all know about my eyes right?" We all nodded. "Well they`re not the only strange part about me."
"What is it?" Lok asked.
"I have special... powers. If you`d call them that."
"Powers?" Sophie asked. "Like magic?"
"Ya. I can control the elements." There were small ghasps around the room. "My eyes change because of my magic. When one emotion overrides another, that element becomes the strongest and my eyes change color."
"What element corresponds with which emotion?" Dante asked.
"When I`m upset they turn blue meaning water. When I`m scared they trun green meaning earth. When I`m angry they turn red meaning fire. When I`m happy they turn yellow meaning air."
"What about purple?" I asked.
"I was hoping no one would ask that. It`s the only one that is opinionated as an element. It`s spirit. It1s not so much a physical as it is a mental element."
"Why are you so ashamed of this?" Sophie asked. "It makes you special."
"it makes me stick out. I`ve told Zhalia. When my emotions get out of hand I loose control. I hurt people."
"That only means you haven`t figured out control yet. I can help."
"I may not know much about your mgic. But I do know about it. We all do."
"The necklaces." She breathed. The ones you were wearing the day we met."
"They`re called amulets." Lok said. Aria`s eyes turned green as he pulled out Baselaird.
"Lok!" I hissed. "Put it back." He sheepishly put it away. Muttering an apology. Aria took a deep breath as her eyes changed back.
"What do they do?" She asked.
"Those monsters you saw," I said. "They`re called titans and they`re kept in them."
"Are they all bad?"
"No." Dante said. "It depends on the seeker."
"Seeker?"
"A person who controls titans."
"Oh. So you all have magic?"
"Yes." I said.
"I`m not the only one. But, you weren`t born with it were you."
"No. Seekers get there magic from there titans." Lok said.
"I`ve had it all my life. I can`t remember a time I didn`t have it. I`m suprised my parents never noticed." I kind of felt bad for her. They way she said it, it sounded like her parents didn`t pay attention to her.
"Why don`t you show them what you can do." I told her. She brightened up and clutched her creation. she held it out almost exitedly.
"This is made of the five elements." She said. "See, when they`re separate, they can`t do much harm. But together, there magic is a powerful weapon. I would have made one when thye attacked. But fear was to strong. I can only do it when everything is balanced." She looked up from the object. "I can show you if you want." She got up from her seat and led us back to the tree covered canal. "Ready?" She took a breath and repeated the same procedure as before. Lok, Sophie and Dante were blown away by her Aria was finished, she threw it at a nearby tree. Putting a large hole in it. Dante stepped foward and ran a finger around the outside of the hole.
"That`s amazing." He breathed.
"I learned how to do that when I was eight. Cut a bully`s leg. Sheneeded ten stitches." She actually smiled at the memory. "She deserved it as far as I`m concerned." She laughed and her eyes went yellow. Something we haven`t seen from her yet.
"Your power is amazing." Sophie said.
"I don`t really agree with that. When my emotions run high I loose control. I`ve hurt the people I love."
"We can help you control it."
"Tyler and I have tried hundreds of different ways. None of them work."
"Sophie," Lok said. "Didn`t Santiago say meditation can help control emotions?"
"Whos Santiago?"
"A friend." Sophie said. "He can help you."
"Thank you."
"don`t worry about it. He`ll be happy to help."
"Not just for that. For being so understanding. Anyone else would have turned and left me behind."
"We woun`t do that." I said. It was then I knew we could trust her to be a seeker.
