Please review a well :P
IX
The two men looked me over, as I laid there.
-why doesn't he speak?-Cosmas asked(the old man)
-I don't know-Calix chirped-But he's awake, which means we can bring Old Man Astro here, to question him, and convince him.-Calix looked like he had too much sugar or caffeine.
-No. We can't bring Astro here until we determine he can talk.-Cosmas seems to like order, while Calix wants to get things done as soon as possible. I can use that to my advantage. the issue is how. o well I'll think of something.
-But he would want t talk to this man even if this man can't speak back. Astro has to explain what is happening right now.- The little boy continued
-No. We need to determine he can speak first.
-then ask him questions!
-I don't know how much he knows.
-then ask something else, that doesn't require knowledge.
-Alright alright.- Cosmas finally gave in.-What's your name boy?- he asked, and his tone lost all sense of might not be as easy as I thought.
-Charles- I croaked, and my voice sounded completely different. I tried to sit up, but the man pushed me back into the pillows.
-You're still weak. Don't sit up.
-Why not?-my voice sounded better instantly, but it was still hoarse, and it hurt to speak.
-You were in a coma. if you don't remember boy. We have no idea how it happened, but if Dorian hadn't saved you, then you pesky little child would be dead.
-How does this relate to why I can't sit up?
-it doesn't. Now it shall be me who is asking the questions. Well one of us anyway... Calix, call in Astro.
-Sir yes sir.- the boy replied, and ran straight out of the didn't take long for hi to get out of earshot, and when that happened, Cosmas quickly sttod up, letting me sit up.
-Look- he started- I can't tell you everything, but right now I am posing as a guard here. You are on a boat, and have been here for almost three years. You weren't in a coma, but unfortunately your own powers knocked you out, causing your consciousness to fall below. We on this boat are all demi-demi gods (1/4 human), and most of us have our mothers powers as well as our fathers, but even you are a special case within our ranks. By the way I am Cosma, and the shorty that just left is Calix, my nephew.- I was taken aback by all the info he was sharing with me. Why is he sharing all this? isn't it more beneficial for me to not know any of this?
-So did I do anything while I was …. you know... out?
-umm... I'm not sure it is the right time to tell you.-Just then there were footsteps, and I instantly fell back under my covers, and he put on his stoic face. As soon as we made the adjustments, the boy bounded inside dragging another man with him.
-My oh my- the man said. He had sea green eyes, that seemed to shimmer under the light, and jet black hair that stood up at the back. He nodded at Cosmas, and gave him a knowing smile.-Well since the boy has finally woken up, I would like you two to leave this to me. Cosmas, you stay here, and Calix you go run around on the deck.
-Yes Astro- the boy said with a smile, and ran outside.
-my name is Astro as you have probably heard from these two. And your name is?
-Charles.
-Alright Charles. For now I would appreciate it if you showed me as much of your power as you can without falling unconscious.
-I'll try- I looked inside, finding the source of my powers within my abdomen, and drawing them out one by one. I wasn't surprised at the fact that there was no lock on them anymore.
Cosmas POV
I watched with interest as astro asked the kid to draw out his powers. As time went by he started glowing with power. Black power, that seemed harmless at first, but as I watched this first seemingly harmless power, I saw that it has eaten away at the handcuffs already, and it was starting to wrap around him as a protective cocoon, getting smaller and smaller, but denser as it took up his body shape. Suddenly this black cocoon lashed out with something that looked like a vine and went through the door, We heard a loud crash outside, and I jumped up.
-STOP.- Astro yelled.- sit. back. down. He will attack you if you move too fast.- I slowly sat back down, and turned my attention back to the boy. By now the energy has completely wrapped itself around him, and started to sink into his skin.-Okay. Now you can go see what happened.- Astro visibly relaxed, and the boy opened his eyes.
-What was that?- His voice showed nothing but curiosity.
-You have completed the acceptance of your powers. There is no longer a limit, but there won't be any more blackouts when you lose control.
-And why did I have to do that?
-Now we can move onto your training.- I left the room to see what happened when the vine left the room. As soon as I stepped outside, an image of pure horror was there. the whole corridor was blown away, and only bare but smooth rock was left.
