Xadia had decided to make his way to the school library, he had wanted to go on the day of resumption but a series of unprecedented events had overwhelmed him.
Entering the library the vicinity wasn't what he expected, the room was a wide one with a hovering circular white glowing podium at the center of the room, a holographic screen displaying its curves, and a hovering bridge-like passage led to it.
The bookshelves were of different design compared to the one Xadia remembered or what he expected to see, the design was spherical with glowing walls dividing the different sections of the book, and Xadia noticed that the book itself was glowing.
A circular-like desk design that looked somewhat like a couch was hovering in unison at the edge of the room. And there were crystal enclosing at the center of the desks, bit looked like his pod but not quite as it was spherical in shape, they were actually placed on a hovering platform but you get the idea.
Walking into the circular podium Xadia peeped at a student by his side who was operating the holo screen, soon Xadia had gotten the hang of what was to the page displayed on the screen.
On the screen was a tabular arrangement that displayed the different sections of books to read:- Abilities/power, Energy, History, Beasts, Science, Art/Weapons, they were all the sections of books that the library contained.
Clicking on the energy section a list of books was displayed on the screen and Xadia had chosen a book titled Forms of Energy, soon the book he had shown lifted from the shelf hovering straight at him until it was by his side.
"Wow". Xadia couldn't contain his excitement, he had never seen something of the sort, in the past books were kept on wooden shelves, and never in his life did he think that a library would look like this. Although he and Tom always made guesses about the future, their imagination didn't project this scenery.
Taking the hovering book Xadia proceeded to seat on an empty desk, it was very comfortable as Xadia's body was ensconced on the glowing couch-like desk.
Opening up the book, a holographic screen soon popped out, displaying the content of the book.
After five hours of reading Xadia was done with the book, and he was fully enlightened on the concepts of the forms of energy in all siphons.
There are three forms of energy:aura energy, force energy, and soul energy. The Augmenters and mutants both use aura energy, as their energy is siphoned to improve their body physically.
The conjurers and emitters use force energy using all forms of force electromagnetic force, gravitational force, field force, and all other types of force, making them able to affect their environment in different ways.
While the soul energy is only accustomed to the passives, the ability to link with familiars and share energy between two or more bodies, was a connection that could not be broken.
About to stand up for the couch to return the book, Xadia's eyes locked on to the crystal enclosed at the center of the desk and he was moving closer to it compelled to touch the crystal a force then pulled Xadia's hand until he held the crystal enclosing.
A surge of energy shot into Xadia's hand rushing into his body and xadia was trying his best to let go of his hands but his body wasn't listening to him all the commands he was giving weren't working and he had then resorted to pulling with his other hand, but the unknown force won't let him as the force pulled his other hand to the crystal enclosing making the energy absorb through his other hand too.
Soon the crystal was dimming and the energy had been drained completely, making the force let go of Xadia's hands, Xadia then quickly rushed out of the building.
"What's happening to me?". Xadia said looking at both of his hands, sweating from the struggle with the unknown force.
Xadia had ignored the sudden burst of energy the first time it happened, the energy had saved him a couple of times, from the gang, and also from bullies, he didn't think it would become a problem.
"I have to go to the room so nothing like that doesn't happen again". Xadia said heading for the dorm room.
Amidst running away a sharp stabbing pain shot right through his body, making him fall to his knees, gritting his teeth.
"Aaaaaaaargh". Xadia screamed and he had begin to claw at his body where the excruciating pain was too much, his head was pounding and his heart was beating very fast.
Suddenly the pain instantly vanished and Xadia stood up from the ground eyes beaming with energy, and he began to run towards an alluring sensation that was calling to him.
Eventually, he reached his target and he could see a girl with a crystal staff in her hand, and rushing at his mark he yanked the staff from the figure making her fall to the ground, he then began to consume the energy.
"Xadia!?". The figure said recognizing xadia.
"Ivy?". xadia said having regained consciousness.
An energy was building up in xadia, he then fell to the ground, as the force was pulling him down, slowly drawing him back into the void.
"Run!!!". Xadia shouted at Ivy before losing consciousness.
