Chapter 3 - Birthstone

Three weeks later.

Waking up in class is the most annoying thing on planet earth, School itself is the second. My schedule changed a lot since the beginning of the school year, Especially after coming out of the hospital. I didn't like my school nor the principal. Ever since I've been in the hospital, I've been bombarded with school work. "Mr.woods, are you paying attention?" My history teacher wasn't pleased at my lack of concentration. "My apologies, My thought process was in a completely different Direction." Mr.z closes his note book and stands up. "Let's do something new. I see my class being non-responsive towards history, so let's learn about historical nonfiction." He caught my attention. He sits backdown and opens up a new book. "Name a non-fiction creature and I'll read about it." The whole class stares at me with an annoying Attitude. Mr.z looks in my direction and before he could say anything, ms.glass walks in the classroom. "Mr.z, can we talk in the hallway?" I was glad his attention shifted towards another persons, I was lucky. Mr.z and ms.glass both leave the classroom. It didn't take long for the class to start talking a storm. I didn't entertain the thought of talking to them, I stood quiet and stared above the class. As an overseer, it was amazing to see different auras floating in the air. The most recent auras I've seen were orange,pink and purple, I still don't know what race the colors stand for. After a couple of minutes, the teacher walks back in with a new student, "My apologies for the inconvenience, we have a new student here in blackbird Academy."

The boy looks at the class with a blank stare. "My name is prometheus." He says. I look above his head to see his aura color. I was surprised to see blue. He wasn't mixed with any race but he was purely giant. That explained his height and how fit his body was. He walked towards the chair next to me and sat beside me. It's likely that he knows his race, people who are mixed only know the lifestyle their raised into. Prometheus yawns and says "I overheard you ask the class to pick a non-fiction creature but the class didn't say anything. Can you please read giant?" Mr.z smiles with excitement. He rushes back to his seat and flashes through the pages. Mr.z takes a deep breath and begins to read, "A giant is a fearsome warrior. Giants are known for their brute strength and unreal speed. Giants are believed to be tall and muscular. some individuals speculate that Hercules was half giant. A Paleontologist by the name of James hall, Believed he discovered the remains of a creature similar to a human." As mr.z is reading the page, the school bell interrupts him. As I'm walking out the classroom, I had this strange feeling to turn around but I decided not to. Shortly after I hear multiple footsteps coming towards me, I quickly turn around but wasn't fast enough. A whole bunch of female students Surrounded me. "I heard you were dating Angelica." A girl says. I didn't entertain the nonsense I was hearing. I kept walking through the girls. I was known as the cutest boy in blackbird Academy but I didn't have a girlfriend. I didn't need one, I was independent but the rest of the school wasn't. "I don't know who Angelica is and I don't care". I continued to keep walking pass them but I then notice prometheus. He was walking the opposite direction. It's likely that he could've got confused with the other schools schedule. I quickly start to follow him, I didn't want to be weird but he wasn't human, he'll probably do something unnatural. There's a possibility that I could learn about giants and their lifestyle. After three minutes of spying on him, he walks into the cafeteria, I proceed to do the same. He starts to talk to himself, "I hate this job, to think father would allow a Prince to sit next to weak humans is absurd". He complained.

I couldn't stand for his disrespect. I walk out of the shadows to show myself. "If you want to disrespect humans, at least do it in front of one". He turns around to face me. To my surprise he starts to smile. He began to talk, "you have a different smell, sweet smell of yang and the bitter smell of human. You're a different mixture and my father would be pleased to have a meeting with you." He says. I didn't care who his father was or how he knew I was part yang. I began to get heated, "look prometheus, I don't care who your father is. My intention is to learn how to get my magic outside of my body." I explained.

He takes a deep breath then begins to speak, "humans are connected to the universe. Your power is random but it's always been inside of you since day one. Your power can be unleashed through training. Meaning physically, mentally or spiritually. It's depending on the person. You're half yang so that comes with a couple perks. For example your speed,agility,awareness,intelligence and learning capabilities are far beyond a normal human." He said. I began to understand more than before. I didn't want to ask him anymore questions considering he helped enough. "Thank you." I said out of respect. He doesn't reply back but he begins to walk towards me.

I look into his eyes and I understood. I put down my book bag and start walking towards him, I haven't felt like this in a while. We made a fist with our hands and swung with our might. Both of our fists collide and start to bleed. I see our aura pushing against each other. As if we started to read each other's minds, we both say "bring it on, no rules."
