Chapter-9

My eyes shot open and I sat up breathing heavily. Gage was behind the desk staring at me. I don't know what he saw while I was under the simulation but I don't think it was pretty. He got up and unplugged the monitors and peeled them off of my head and arms.

"So what happens now?" I asked as he unplugged the last of the monitors. "Now we wait a minute for the program to calculate your results and they will tell us what your skill is." He said as he pulled the chair from behind the desk and sat down next to me. I looked down at the swirling symbol on my arm and saw it was glowing a brighter blue than before. I wonder if that means my Skill has been revealed.

"What's your Skill Gage?" I asked. Gage looked at me for a minute before giving me his answer.

"When the time is right you will see, right now we should be focused on what yours is." He smiled. I looked at the marking on his arm. It was more jagged than mine and it glowed bright green. I jumped a little when the computer started to beep.

"That means the program has found what your skill is." He said as he stood up from his chair and walked over to the computer and typed a few things in before he looked up at me and said "No matter what your skill is it doesn't change who you are or who you will be. Do you understand?" My heart began to beat out of my chest as I nodded in the chair waiting for Gage to read me the results. He hit enter and stared at the computer screen in shock for a moment before opening his mouth to speak.
