I wake up in the middle of the night feeling strange.
Sondra always told me about how some of the Garde may have visions of Setrakus Ra, the Mogadorian leader, or Pittacus Lore, Lorien's ruling elder.
I didn't think that I would be having these visions but apparently not.
I was in a dark room. I couldn't hear, see, or feel anything around me. Suddenly, a huge somebody steps toward me and my first instinct was to run away. But I couldn't. It's like I was frozen in place.
I tried using my telekinesis but my Legacies didn't work either.
Then when they were looming over me, I knew that that huge somebody was none other than Setrakus Ra.
I thought for sure I was going to die; I could practically feel death looming over me which in this case is actually true.
I crouched down, hoping it would protect me from his wrath, but he didn't attack me. He didn't even look at me. Instead, he leaped forward, his Mogadorian sword gleaming in his hand.
At first, I don't notice what he's doing. Then I realize he's running towards another person. Pittacus Lore.
I gasped but my mouth couldn't move. I couldn't speak in there either.
Setrakus thrust his sword forward but Pittacus teleported to another spot in the room, about five yards away from Setrakus.
Setrakus ran towards him again, this time clapping his hands in a slow, cruel motion.
Pittacus' Legacies were gone somehow. He couldn't do anything but run, dodge, and sometimes fight Setrakus with his bare hands.
The battle lasted on for a while and I didn't understand why Setrakus didn't just impale Pittacus right then and there but then I realized that Pittacus is probably the fastest Loric to have ever lived because Setrakus couldn't have even laid a finger on him. I smirked. That's why he's the ruling elder.
Eventually, Setrakus got progressively more tired and tired until he just fell to the ground. No, he wasn't dead but he was so looking so weak and so frail he might as well have been.
I blinked.
When I opened my eyes, I was back in the cheap motel room I've been in for the past three weeks.
I knew exactly what the vision meant: Setrakus Ra can be defeated. Just because he survived this long doesn't mean he's immortal.
I began training with a renewed vigor; my punches were lightning-fast, just like Pittacus', my kicks strong, my dodging has also greatly improved. It felt like Pittacus was right there beside me, telling me to not give up; to go on.
After that, I was practicing with my Legacies, and just when I was going to launch a kitchen knife at my target, a fireball suddenly snaked its way to my hand. For a second, I didn't know what was happening but then I realized I was developing a new Legacy. Just in time.
I started experimenting with it more, firing fireballs at the sink and watering them down. Then, when I exhaled, a gust of wind came out of my mouth and made my already messy room even messier. I couldn't just control fire; I could control the four elements as well. Wicked.
I tried washing my hands with water of my own creation. I also tried forming dirt or soil with my own hands. I tried everything you could imagine with this type of Legacy.
I tried incorporating it with my flying Legacy but I think I overdid it with the air because the manager knocked on my door and asked what was going on.
"Nothing!" I replied, flustered.
"Some of the other tenants have been complaining that they heard you laughing and screaming so early in the morning. Care to explain?" he asked sternly.
Apparently, while I was enjoying my newfound Legacy, I was simultaneously laughing. And maybe even screaming. I didn't even notice.
"Nothing, Sir, I was just watching some television and heard a funny joke." I lied.
"Oh, well, I'm quite fond of jokes."
Does he really expect me to tell him? What am I supposed to do now?
"Um, it's in another, uh, language." I was not good at lying at all.
"I'm fluent in ten languages. I think I can understand." He boasted.
"No, uh, it's in…Morse Code."
"Morse Code?"
I nodded. He wasn't buying it.
"How can you tell a funny joke in Morse Code?" he mumbled.
I shrugged. Uh-oh.
He shook his head. "Well, just don't let me catch you again, or else…" his voice trailed off and he went away.
Phew.
I've got to be more careful with this new Legacy. I don't want to be any more suspicious than I already am.
