My eyes drifted as I looked around the foyer. There wasn't much to do here. All the other rooms in the foyer had been locked off and it's considered rude to go upstairs in a guests house, So there isn't much to do outside just waiting for aries to address us.
Cael: ...
I walked to the front of the foyer and sat down on the stairway. The orange haired guy - Azuma glared at me as I was doing this.
Azuma: ….
I looked back at him, Not wavering.
Azuma: You got a problem with me, Punk?
Cael: N-No! I was just-
Azuma: Then keep your eyes forward. I don't swing that way. Homo...
He said threateningly.
I did just as he said and did not look at him anymore. I could tell just by that brief interaction that azuma was not a pleasant person.
*Creek*
I heard a sudden noise came from the front of the mansion, it was slow and creaky like a hatchet opening.
The latent doors at the front had opened and revealed someone new. Out of the door came another person. It was a short girl with dark black braided hair ,dark Skin And Was Wearing a thick brown poncho that was covered in animist and spiritual markings, along with her face which had purple lines tattooed over the sides.
?: Finally. Gaia has guided me here.
Her meek but loud voice echoed across the hall.
Leonaidis looked up and wolf whistled.
Leonaidis: Finally! another girl!
He exclaimed.
?: Good morning to you all.
Azuma: It's afternoon dipshit.
Cael: (Wow. What a pleasant guy.)
?: *Ahem* It is always morning in gaia's eyes.
The girl took out a Orb which were spherical in shape, purple in color and a brown marking over it
?: I would like to introduce myself as Pocah Tequila. The Spiritual Duelist.
She bowed to us, respectfully.
Ohsaka: So You're a another "champion"?
Pocah: I don't prefer labels, But yes. I am in the final 8. I assume you all are as well?
Cael: Yup.
Leonaidis: Yeah.
Ohsaka: Yes.
Pocah: Well. I wish you all well. You must be extremely talented to make it this far!
She complimented.
Leonaidis: Well "Talented" Is a relative term. At least compared to me.
Cael: Do you have to brag about everything?
I Mumbled to myself.
Pocah: So; where is our host?
Azuma: Fuck if I know. That purpled haired lady just told us to wait here.
Pocah: I see….
There was an awkward silence for a couple more seconds. I decided to ask the obvious question.
Cael: So, how should we kill the time?
Pocah: Well why don't we start by getting to know each other?
Azuma: How the fuck do we do that?
Ohsaka: well I think we could play a game.
Azuma: A game?
Ohsaka: Yeah! In my country we have a game called saihyosen; In which people tell 3 things about themselves and-
Leonaidis: That's icebreaker.
Ohsaka: huh?
Leonaidis: We call that icebreaker here. It's not special to your kind.
Ohsaka: Whatever…. Buzzkill.
Ohsaka snarked.
Pocah: I think I have a better Idea.
Pocah pulled something out of her pocket. It was a circular object with a spherical shape covered in some ancient writings. It was magenta in it seemed to shine pink depending on what angle it was at.
Ohsaka: What is that?
Pocah: It's an Orb. My grandfather gave it to me.
Pocah: -Using this, I can tell Read people's hearts.!
Leonaidis: …oh?
Cael: Reading people's hearts?
Pocah: Yes. Using this Orb I can tell everything about a person. From their thoughts to their history.
Everyone was curious at Pocah claim. Well everyone but Azuma, who scoffed at her.
Azuma: Cool! Is it like a crystal ball or Magic 8 Ball?
Pocah: You can make your jokes. But this Orb is the real thing!
Azuma: Yeah, I'm calling bullshit. So many psychics and fortune tellers have been exposed as frauds these days.
Pocah: I am not a fraud!
Azuma;: Then prove it. Use that "Orb" To tell me something about myself that I didn't know.
Pocah: Fine. Maybe you'll see your foolishness after this.
The girl stepped towards azuma, Holding the orb in with her right hand.
Pocah: Place your left hand on top of orb, Like this.
She demonstrated.
Azuma rolled his eyes but complied and put his left hand on top of the orb.
Pocah: Now close your eyes.
He closed his eyes reluctantly. Pocah did the same and began chanting.
Pocah's orb glowed Red as soon azuma's hand touched it. It's power clearly showing through its sudden change of color. Pocah hummed a mystical incantation, and all was done as she opened her eyes.
Pocah: You may open your eyes now..
Azuma: Got all you need?
Pocah: Yes, I know everything about you now.
Azuma: Then tell me who is my sister-
Pocah: Ranko Tenkojin.
Pocah quickly answered his question. A question which she should've never known the answer too, to begin with. This amazed even azuma who had a befuddled look on his face.
Azuma: Lucky guess. Ranko is pretty common name where I come from.
Pocah: Ask me another question then.
He was clearly in denial.
Azuma: What's my Father's Name?
Pocah: Ren Tenkojin.
Azuma paused again at looked somewhere else, His face looking flustered.
Azuma: A-Another Lucky guess! Ren is a common name too.
Cael: Oh come on…
I said to myself. Azuma was clearly in denial.
Azuma: How about another one? What is my favorite food-
Pocah: Salmon.
Azuma: Huh?
Pocah: You precisely like your salmon cut into three pieces and you like the head to remain on the front part of the fish as you like to snap it off before you eat it..
Leonaidis: Wow that's metal. Do you also not drain your chicken before you eat it?
Leonaidis snarked.
Azuma: Shut the fuck up. I refuse to accept that you know anything about me without it being coincidence!
Cael: Dude, she guessed your favorite food and how you like to eat it? What else proof do you need?
Azuma: Enough to know that she isn't a heretic!
Pocah: You can ask me whatever question you want. But just know that I'll be able to answer them all!
For about 15 minutes; Pocah told azuma everything about his whole life. She listed things from his dogs name to to the type of girls he prefers (Which was not pleasant to herer by the way!)
Pocag: -And when you were five you fell down the stairs and nearly broke your ankle. Anything more I can tell you?
Azuma: ….
Azuma was silent at Poach show of ability.
Azuma: I know there's a trick somewhere. Like a rabbit underneath the hat.
Pocah: No tricks. No magic. Just the power of Gaia.
Azuma: You and your gods. Fine, whatever. I'm fuckin other this!
He walked away….
While it did seem like a waste of time, Pocah divination did entertain us for awhile.
Leonaidis: *whistles* Phew. Some people can be some stubborn am I right?
Cael: (You would know.)
Pocah: Some can't just accept the power of the earth.
Cael: (The power of the earth…)
The earth's power was both infinite and finite. If Something like that could definitely be harnessed by Pocah then who knows what it could do if mastered by destiny.
