Chapter 9 - calm before the storm..

Eve was back in her cell she thought about everything zero has told her and

everything she has learned things seemed brighter to her she had hope she just needed to do as zero had instructed lay low and focuse on her energy manipulation and physical exercises to get used to her bodies new adjustments eve felt that besides things being brighter and alot more details being noticed than before she felt. not only that she felt extremely light she she looked around before doing some warm up exercises and testing her strength reflexes and balance doing little things once she felt she had adjusted to her new stats she then started doing what zero had asked and worked on adjusting her strength the device measures your strength my grip it indicates a number for stat values when she used her full strength he got a number indicating 50 when she used what she thought was half her strength if she was lazy it indicates 20 if she did it seriously it indicates 30 so eve concluded it depends on her intent and the effort she puts into her stats. afterwards once eve was sure she wouldn't make a mistake she sat down in a meditative position and closed her eyes she remembered what Mr Soma. had taught her flashing back to that day she met Mr Soma she was playing with her ball in the woods since ghe other children she thought would play with her had acted friendly enough would play with her they decided to play a prank on her instead and chucked her ball into the southern entrance of the woods Eve was both mad and sad how could you do that if you didn't want to play with me you could of just said so she told Garth he was a skinny boy with short brown hair and long bangs for some reason he always tease's Eve for no reason he simply snickeres at her and said oops my bad not like i did it on purpose you know i just awakend not too long ago still cant control my strength ya know eve just pouted and said thats what you said last time you kicked the ball Gareth just Sneered at Eve and said if ya want your ball back go get it eve just looked at Gareth and his friends and said fine i will when i do you can't play ball with me anymore humphh she then stomped of to the entrance of the south forest had Eve stuck around or thought to be sneaky thst day she would have heard an interesting conversation between Gareth whom was 8 at the time while Eve's 7th birthday was a month away. hey Gareth one of his friends asked him why do you always pick on Eve so much Gareth just looked at his friends you know who Eve's granparents are right gareths friends all nodded and said yes that would be Chief Felhiem and Madam Riviera Gareth right that mean our future Chief boy's is gonna be that little girl she gets babied all the time im just trying to toughen her up alittle bit so she doesnt become a shallow pain later on Gareth friend who asked the question just laughed pffft ya right and pigs fly we all know you have a crush on Eve and you like tough girl's gareth face turned beat red he got flustered and irritated at the same time i i dont know what you mean I'm gonna kick your butt you hear me....the kids started teasing Gareth singing a song with Eve and Gareth names starting with kissing in a tree ending with a baby carriage ... meanwhile eve made it to the south entrance and made her way down to a small stream of water where she p

found her ball when she retrieved it she noticed a figure wearing a green forest cloak eve was startled at first then the figure noticed her a nice friendly Male voice came from the cloaked figure: ohh why hello there im sorry if i startled you little girl im traveling to Num village to visit some friends of mine but seems i have gotten, lost these woods are very deep. eve just looked at the cloaked figure. her voilet eyes where big and round she asked the figure are you a man or a woman i can't tell with that cloak but you sound like a man are you if so are you a good man or a bad man. this cloaked figure was none other than Soma he. is the Most loyal. knight from Alistair Eve's father and mother have charged him with checking up on eve and giving them reports and with joy and pride he had done so from a distance but today he happened to need to visist Felhiem and Riviera it was bound to happen sooner or later him meeting with eve suddenly a great idea came to his mind he could get close to eve as a teacher and give more details to her parents since they can't leave the kingdom of Alstair lest they draw danger toward Eve Mirra's twin sister who is hidden away do to a taboo existence amongs Dreadnauts when it comes to twins being born amongs there kind ethier one twin is devoured in the womb or one of the two brings catastrophe its happened time and again in Alistairs history this was the only way until Lord Gale and lady Evangeline could some how prove Eve's existence wont bring catastrophe or they could change the minds of the Dreadnauts of the kingdom

which til this day they have fervently been working towards that goal. soma lookked at eve and slowly removed the hood of his cloak i am a man and a good one at that he then smiled gently at eve she told Soma are you sure Gramma said i should be especially careful if. some one says they are good ... Soma couldn't help but laugh as eve was hiding behind a tree while poking her head out her big deep Violet eyes looking at him with Unrestrained curiousity it was a site to be hold.he said yes and i can prove im a good man i am friends with the village chief and Madam Felhiem and Riviera they wouldn't be friends with bad people ever

as a matter of fact what your gramma told you sounds alot like what Riviera would say. soma pretended to be deep in thought and waitied for Eve's response in 3 2 1. wow really mt grandpa is the vilage chief and the Madam you spoke of is my grandma's name Eve's eyed got even bigger and shined brightly soma couldn't believe it and started laughing at hos adorable Eve's reaction was .....once soma. calmed down he asked eve if she would be so kind as to guide him tonfhe village eve nodded and stopped before she started walking Mr.Soma what is thst green and golden light ball thst keeps floating around you ....soma was shocked tk think this child could perceive his energy and the nature magic in his body and she hasn't eve awakend yet !.he smiled at eve and told her she must never tell anyone about what she can see he explained that bad men would try to kidnap her because what she can do is very rare he said you have potential i cab teach you about the energy and how to manipulate it however you won't be able to practice or do it until you have gone through awakening. i will teach you the knowledge eve was a little nervous and smiled though she loves learning and agreed to what soma told her and offered her she learned all the basic she would need to know when she awakens ..... eve opened her eyes after that memory flashed through her she began closing her eyes and gathering energy and making it flow through her body like a river suddenly a warmth started speading through her body it was pleasant and stung a little at first but mostly it returned to being pleasant eve continued this process unti her entire body abd energy pathways had fully circulated. when that was done eve felt powerful and lighter than she ever felt before she felt like some sort of electric current was running through her bod'y.
