Robin and Rohan broke into a mild argument,in an exchange of words.It was very clear the boys got along very badly. The enmity between them was thick and rock solid.
"Could you be quiet?"a deep voice rumbled.Krysmis was staring at the boys,his eyes as fierce as ever.Honestly speaking,he knocked the life out of their bones.
Instantly,the duo fell silent.Maybe his charm was working on them.Robin,angrily,stormed out of the room,putting on his coat.He kept mumbling to himself,angry for their argument.
Krysmis turned back to staring out the window,his arms crossed on his big chest.
"It is very clear you don't like that guy!"Luke pointed out.That was directed to Rohan mostly."And I would never like that idiot!!"Rohan sneered.He stood up and,putting on his coat,stormed out of the room.
Once he was gone...
"Robin once dated his sister,"Clement said,"but things didn't work out well for them,since that guy is a player."
"Rohan's sister was so obsessed with Robin that she almost got herself killed on the day they parted,"Eric said.
"What happened to her?"Luke didn't hesitate to ask."Nobody really knows but Rohan says she was turned into a wraith,since they found her clothings in the forest,beyond the dome,"Eric said.Luke couldn't help but start to pity Rohan.If his sister was still suffering from the heartbreak when she was turned into a wraith,he had all the rights to be mad at Robin.'Poor,Rohan'he thought.
"Let's not mind them.They will at some point sort their issues out,"Clement said,"let's talk about you, Luke!!"
"About me?"
"Yeah!You wouldn't mind telling us your abilities,would you?"Eric asked."What are you talking about?"Luke was perplexed.Abilities!What abilities were they talking about?
"All the elves,even though changelings have abilities,atleast accelerated regeneration!"Clement said,"So you must have one,unless you are a human.But you can't be a human when you have pointed ears,like all of us!"
"What are changelings?"Luke asked,not minding about what else Clement said."Changelings are elves born in Arda but raised in the human world.Either your parents couldn't take care of you or something happened to them and they decided to send you to the human world,bringing back a human child,"Eric said.
"Oh I see!!"Luke nodded,taking in everything Eric had just said."So,now,tell us!What are your abilities?"Clement asked.He sounded so anxious to know."Tell me first,what kind of abilities are there?"Luke asked.
"There are many abilities but most are derived from nature,or are related to nature!"Eric said.
"Okay!But I don't think I know my abilities.I don't think I even have one!"Luke said, shrugging slightly."If you are an elf,it is very difficult to not have an ability,unless it is a curse,or you are cursed!".Luke was perplexed.He couldn't bear a curse,could he?Ha! Impossible!!
"Well.....I kinda dunno my abilities!"Luke said, sincerely.He didn't know his abilities,or atleast he hadn't known to do something strange that would prove his abilities.
"Okay,"Clement shrugged,"then we shall have a simple Ability Test,right here!" He jumped to his feet and started to clear up the room,moving the table and the chairs.He created a space,big enough for six people to sit around a bonfire,in the room.
"Alright... what's going on??"
"Come here,boyo,and sit right before me!!"Clement said,sitting down,his legs criss crossed.Eric sat beside him,in the same manner.Luke's instincts yelled at him to sit the same way and he did, reluctantly.
"You know very well that performing an Ability Test on a newcomer,without me present could cost you your vacancies in the Havens" a voice came from nearby.
"Asralyn!!" Eric and Clement gasped.
Asralyn,Luke guessed was her name,stepped out of a corner,beside Robin's bed.Her long ash blonde hair was tied in a ponytail behind her.Her beautiful grey eyes shone behind her black spectacles.She was stunning in that uniform those guys put on.
By the way,the uniform was grey pants for the male and a pleated and plaid red skirt for the females, complete with a button down white long sleeved shirt,with a badge,and a livid necktie,with stripes cutting across.The males were supplemented with a grey sweater.
"What...what are you doing here?"Eric stammered.Clearly,that girl was tough,or perh
"I came to see what you guys are up to,"Asralyn said[Her voice was freaking hypnotic],"when I saw Eric escort the newcomer,here,to your chambers.And look what I found you guys about to do,just now."
She turned to Luke and flashed him a smile,"I'm Asralyn Siofra...and you are?"
"Luke.Lucas Gray Archer!!" Asralyn flashed him a quick smile and turned around tothe boys and her expression changed to a tough one."Were you about to do that without me?"
"Chill,Ash!You can join us,since you already are here!"Clement said, reassuringly.
Asralyn[Ash] didn't hesitate to sit down,between Eric and Luke,in the same manner."Let's start!!"Eric stuttered,his eyes wide with shock, probably because of Asralyn.
There was a deafening silence,except for the steady breathing of the statue standing beside the window.There was a soft hiss."Close your eyes,boyo.We are going to join our souls with yours,that will tell us your abilities!!"Clement said.
Luke slammed his eyes shut."Calm down,boyo.And let the serenity take over!!"
Luke drew several breaths and started to feel a surge of calmness envelop his body.His felt something different, something strange and he felt as if he was being lifted off the ground,as if he was levitating.Suddenly,he saw a boy,Eric.Eric turned into a wolf and pounced off,in mid air.Luke guessed that was his ability,Shape shifting.Then he saw Clement.Large wings,more like an angel's sprouted out if his back and Clement flew off. His wings spread out wide.That must be his power,Flight.Then he saw Asralyn.Asralyn was standing beside a pond.Suddenly,the water in the pond started to swish and sway,then it rose into a wisp.Asralyn started to dance with the water,in some sort of style.The water followed her every move.Luke guessed that was her ability,Hydrokinesis.
Suddenly, everything stopped and Luke found himself breathing heavily.He could barely believe his hallucinations,but they weren't hallucinations,they couldn't be.
"No!It can't be!!"Eric exclaimed.
"What?What did you guys see?" Luke asked.
He figured out the way that test worked.You would only see the abilities of the elves you were tried with but you couldn't possibly see your abilities.Eric's exclamation made Luke want to fall dead.
"You can't be a Drow!"Asralyn said, wearing a worried expression."What is that?"Luke asked,more than perplexed now."A Dark Elf!You possibly can't be one of them!"Eric said.
"What is wrong with being a Dark Elf?"Luke asked."That could earn you a quick death!"Clement sighed."Say what now?"Luke exclaimed."But don't you worry.We could devise a plan for you to stay alive and unharmed,"Asralyn said.
