"So...that still doesn't answer my question - what do you want from me?" I asked, keeping my guard up at all times.
"I'm sure Sigil has told you this already, but he sensed a special power within you. A power so strong and unfathomable, even for him," Aluna explained. "I didn't believe him at first. But after seeing you with my own two eyes...I understand now. You are quite the special boy indeed."
"Power? What power?" I raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance.
"You can play dumb all you like, but unfortunately, your mind is not guarded well enough," Aluna replied with a gentle smile, with genuinely no hostility behind it.
...Psychic Magic, huh?
Aluna must've read that thought too, since her expression didn't change and she continued to beam at me with a happy expression, as if she was thoroughly enjoying our meeting.
"...Are you going to try and obtain my power for yourself?" I asked, getting to the heart of my worries.
