Chapter 8: Secret
Entry six
It's amazing what the jewel can do. I've been experimenting with its powers. I discovered by using the jewel, I no longer have to sleep. It granted me the power of insomnia. I just wait until my team falls asleep. Then I can use the jewel to stay up all night and watch them. My skills in fighting have improved as well. I notice I can run much faster, and my reflexes and senses are becoming sharper. I wonder why my team hasn't noticed yet.
I went to take a walk at night to see if the beasts would attack me. It's strange, when I use the jewel, once hostile animals cower away. It's like they can sense the power from the jewel. But what is this power? Is it good or sinister? Maybe that is determined by my motives and the way I use it. But, I can't decide if I should use it to kill or rescue.
The power emanating from the jewel is much stronger than arcana; possibly even more powerful than all the mediums.
"So, Princess, you're saying this person can destroy us and the world if he wants." Janus inquired.
"Why are you so calm about it!" Virginia asked. "We have to find this person before he decides to destroy the world!" She continued reading the book aloud. There were still no suspects. It could be one out of 9 people, counting out the leaders.
I can also channel the power of the jewel to any object. All I need to do is focus the power to that object. I can also levitate things with my mind. I if I lose the jewel, then can the person who finds it control it? I have yet to find this out, but I am not planning to. I must see the full extent of the jewel's powers before I can hypothesize anything.
If the Infinite Jewel can do this, what can the Eternal Sparkle do? All these idiot leaders are fighting over it. No, I do not think of myself as a god. I think of myself as a useless person put on this world for this reason. I now have a new reason to live. I am here to destroy or protect the world, at the will of my being…
"I can't believe this," said Virginia frustrated. "Think, someone whom everyone of us knows; a person who is standing in this very room right now. Is the holder of a godlike power." They all knew they weren't even close to finding him. There only clues were that it wasn't one of the leaders, and this person is a male. Otherwise, they were standing right in front of the door of a cold end. It was already night.
"We might as well set up camp tonight," said Virginia restlessly. Everyone was tired. The teams set up camp and was about to go to sleep.
Virginia had a plan.
