Chapter 21 - Training (3)

"What did you just say?" I asked Cosmic Gem. "Oh don't worry too much about it" Cosmic Gem assured me. "This is... Hard to take in..." Kurai said. "Yeah it is and it's my dramatic backstory how am I meant to take this in?!" I asked in fear. "With time Hailey, with time." Cosmic Gem assured me.

During night time I began training and learning more about my powers with Cosmic Gem. I had been doing this for a month. It's had been just learning and meditation thus far.

"When can I learn this 'Cosmic beam' you've been going on about for weeks?" I asked. "Tonight is when we will be beginning your training." Cosmic Gem continued. "Meditation was to help with you aim, your senses and being able to see souls." Cosmic Gem answered. "I understand now." I said while nodding. "Now I want you to feel like you are pushing all of you energy straight at me in a beam. I will take care of the rest for today." Cosmic Gem instructed me. "Okay." I said as I began to focus my energy all into a ball. I then aimed and fired straight ahead. "Now become the energy and Jump!" Cosmic Gem ordered. I then did so with ease.

"Very good, I was going to take over but it seems you have mastered it completely as I had expected. Meditation has it's perks, doesn't it?" Cosmic Gem praises me. "Yeah... I guess it does." I said. "Hey, are you alright?" Cosmic Gem asks. "Just... Took a bit outta me... That's all, I'm uh... just gonna sit down for a bit..." I said sleepily.

I went to step forwards but lost my footing and fell backwards. straight into the river.
