Chapter 8 - Damion
I walked into the garden and bent down and trimmed a few roses off, I was in my student form and my illusion image came over to me and said, "How is it going Jared?" I looked up and smiled, "It never gets old." I know many suspect you are me but it's nice to not be a staff leader. Damion crouched down next to me and I sighed, "Mind holding these?" I passed a bundle of roses to my illusion character and I stood up. "Lightwood would like roses, it's kind of funny that she doesn't enjoy lilacs all that well." I vase the roses and set them on a table that leads outside. I spot a familiar yet not so familiar figure walk into the garden. "Xiang…" The figure stopped by the mini gazebo and sat down. He looked so disinterested from life right now and it hurts. I pick up a flower from the vase and walked over to him and placed it on his lap, "You grew these." I said to him and I sat down in front of him and sighed. Xiang looked away and sighed. "Well not anymore. That power has been long lost." I sighed, "Actually your powers aren't long gone, you have to ask Lightwood to have them back." Xiang looked at me and sighed. "You don't get it do you. The prized jade pin of mine was a gift from the nature king. He gave it to me which allowed me the powers of nature and the ability to communicate with creatures. The jade pin is broken so the power is gone." I shook my head, "Well then maybe ask him to fix it, plus I don't know you." Xiang looked away and frowned. "When have we ever truly known each other? It would take me a few days to get to his palace but he won't be happy." I paused and thought for a bit, "I could come with you if you would like, I need a break from school." Xiang looked over at me and frowned. "Give me one good reason why I should trust you." I shrugged, "Um I can nullify powers?" Xiang looked over and frown."I asked why I should trust you?" I sighed, "Because I am around your same age?" Xiang looked over and frowned. "Cut the crap Verreaux. I know it's you. You can't change yourself that much." I shrugged, "Hey I tried." I said to him and I stood up and said, "Like I said to you, you are one stupid idiot and a disgrace to all." Xiang looked over at me and sighed. "I was a real idiot to ever fall for you. I know my mistake and it won't happen again. Don't bother following me I can get to the nature king by myself without extra baggage." I reached over and lifted his chin, "I am coming whether you like it or not and trust me, I am ashamed to let someone fall for me, especially a guy." Xiang glared and smacked me across the face. "You're an ass and I don't give a crap anymore." He quickly disappeared in the wind and I couldn't find him. I heard a soft gust of wind, "This looks far beyond mending…" I heard Lightwood say and I looked at her, "I know, this is where I should say my goodbyes as a staff leader."
