Fair.

The trio sat in Timon’s room at the hostel together in silence.

“Claire…” Aella broke it.

“what?”

“Are you a warrior or something?”

“nope, I just, read the book is all.”

“so anyone could just read the book and be able to do that?”

“No, you kind of have to be in sync with the book, it has its own energy, for it to contain all the information on white event stuff, it kind of absorbed some of its essence.”

“so the book is a little like the bracelets then?”

“I guess you could say that, since the event it mostly lay dormant until someone who could read it came along and triggered it.”

“triggered what?”

“umm, just the book stuff. Nothing else. It just means I can do cool tricks now ok?”

“…ok”

silence fell on the room again.

After a while Claire decided he had had enough “I don’t think it’s a good idea for us to stay in Koob, we should leave first thing tomorrow, I know you guys will want to help with the rebuilding, but I think its best we head elsewhere.”

Claire set off for her room, leaving Aella and Timon alone.

Aella stood up and headed for the door but paused in the portal.

“I wanted to say…”

There was a pause, and Timon looked up, “I know… don’t worry about it.”

Aella nodded and went to her room.

–

the next morning the trio gathered their things early before anyone else in the hostel was up and headed for the city gate.

“So where are we going now?” Timon asked

“Beats me” said Claire

“I think I know.” Timon and Claire looked at Aella “Mr Irfan gave me my mother’s diary, in it she trained at a dojo in Cinnamon Hills, with a ‘Master Udo’ maybe if we go there I can learn more about my powers, and I can pick up some stuff from the studies Mr Irfan did with my mother.”

“Sounds as good as any other plan” Said Timon, stretching his arms “But we need to hit up some place on the way, I’m awfully short on knives.”
