Lumian gave him a proud look. "You are correct so far. I was the one who insisted that Deric should come here with us. In this enclosed forest I wanted to observe his intentions. But that was not the only reason. He is a talented kid. If he really is on our side, then he would prove to be a great addition."
"Deric is that talented?" Eru whispered in awe.
"Powerful, very powerful. I had not seen a kid like him in my life. So are you. You two have a power that is only mentioned in our myths, soul power. It is said to come from within your soul itself." He paused dramatically, letting his word sink in.
He then continued, "Deric has immense amount of soul power, similar to yours, but it's more intense," Lumian whispered with a frown. "His powers shine brightly like 'vera'. But there is a tinge of darkness I see that lurks behind the light. That's why I'm sceptical about him."
Eru silently listened to his words and whispered, "I'm powerful like you?"
