"Heh," I laugh, "Crown, this new…power…is so demanding. Yet…I know I need this power…"

Yes…yes, use that power…use it…find out more about this Layla girl I was informed about…we need to take down Omega-Xis…

"Got it," I say.

I look through the girl's books, tossing them to the floor as I go.

Finally, I reach a journal written by hand.

I open the journal, the creatures that Crown calls his familiars whispering in my ears what I am reading.

Oh, Diary, Petra picked on me again! I hate her…

I throw the journal.

Grade school tripe. How unbearably immature.

"No, no, no, no…" I say quietly, in a singsong voice.

The doorknob jiggles.

I freeze.

Could it be that she detected me after the AM-ian left?

Suddenly the doorknob returns to normal.

"Sparkshurtgirlshecantgoin," one of the familiars whisper.

"Speak slowly," I hiss, "You know I can't tolerate that nonsense."

"Sparks hurt girl," the familiar repeats slowly, "She can't go in."

So my power is stronger than I thought.

The robes I wear crackle as I walk to the window.

My gloves simply spark with my power.

Most of all, the crown I wear on my head radiates power.

I open the window, and then turn for a last glance at the girl's room.

Stuffed animals galore, posters of humans on her wall, nothing that would imply that the girl was hanging with an AM-ian.

"Good-bye, Layla Woods," I say with a smile, "We shall meet soon."

I jump out the window and land on a wave-road.

Time to pulse out to my bedroom…Mother, you are so doomed for choosing a place that has a wavehole in my bedroom…
