Chapter Three: Thought
Drake entered His room quietly that night. His human parents had fallen asleep hours ago. Neither of them could keep their eyes open past dusk; not at all like Him.
The Lone Power had decided to be born as a human around sixteen years ago. The Winged Defender had been the one to suggest it. Nearly all the other Powers had human incarnations who helped to influence things in their favor, so why shouldn't He? So far he hadn't gotten this incarnation broken in but He had always planned to wait until it matured to do that. In spite of how long the Powers lived, it was still quite annoying to have to wait for one to mature and to keep it up all that time.
Drake sat down on his bed. No one on this planet knew who he was. Even the local Wizards hadn't realized who he was. Even when he came into contact with them. His thoughts switched to the girl, Melanie. The only non-wizard in a family that had too many, at least in his opinion. But then, one Wizard was too many in his opinion. She clearly hadn't realized what he was either. But that was all in the plan. He didn't want anyone to make a fuss and end up killing this incarnation. Then He would have to start all over again. Ah, the annoyance.
But, back to Melanie, the girl was quite amusing. Of course he wasn't very concerned about her – she was only a human after all. Not even a Wizard. She couldn't do much harm. He thought He had made a good move that day in making himself on friendly terms with the girl. She wasn't a Wizard, so the likely hood of her realizing who He was was slim. She would be an excellent outlet to find information out about the Wizards. Yes He had made a very good move. The girl would confide anything in him now, so long as he could keep his act together. But then another emotion washed over Him. He had spent a lot of time in human forms so He could accurately recognize this one as confusion. But that was crazy. Powers didn't get confused. It must be something to do with the human form. Yes, that was it. The reason for His human confusion was that He was, at the moment, human. But did that mean that he was now subject to other human feelings as well? That wasn't a good thought. It would seriously complicate things. He wondered weather the Defender had known about this when She had suggested that He do this. It would be just like Her.
But, more to the point, he was confused about that kid, Melanie. She thought that the way He thought Wizards was, to put it bluntly, silly. And the thing that struck him was that she was right. A lot of it was childish, to use a human term. He shook his head; apart from being an excellent outlet, she was amusing as well.
Perhaps he should try to get her to see things His way. It might even be tricky enough to be a fun challenge. He liked the sound of that. Sometimes getting chased by Wizards got to be a bit boring.
But at the same time, He wondered why the circumstances had aligned so perfectly. He would definitely have to speak to the Defender about this. He would find out what the One was planning.
