The people around us had started moving again as nothing had happened. It was almost like they hadn't seen anything.
That made me wonder if it was me doing something more than scaring everyone, or did the people just not care?
I was cooling down now, but I had done something. I had forbidden Hershal from lifting his hand.
That was the same as Lishtani's power, but was it hers?
[I am the catalyst to your power, I provide you the power to change and become more like me. In the far future, you will absorb me, and then I can be closer.]
As I got up to Corbit and the other two, he rushed over to me. He looked worried and scared, he must have seen something.
"How did you do that? He started to yell and then he was on the ground thrown down, and you stood where he was with burning red eyes. That was scary, but thank you. I was just about to come to get you to introduce these two, but now they are worried," Corbit said.
"I would like to talk to them, but I don't want to do this here. GLORIA!" I turned my head, shouting. "We are going, I want you to go back and get everyone packed up."
"But, the maze," Gloria complained, but still came over with me.
"Tim, you can come or stay, that is up to you. I am going to find us a place to rent, things will be easier all around this way," I said about to turn back, but Tim walked over, slapping the red crest on his cheek.
"I'm with you because I believe in you and what you are trying to do. There was nothing wrong with what you did whatever that was. I didn't even see you move until he was on the ground," Tim said, coming to stand with us, and Braum was following him with an apologetic look.
"Hey, I can show you where the Housing Office is located, if you don't mind me tagging along. I also know a bit about Alana, and Victor, so I can fill you in on the walk. I would also like to ask you some questions, my heart is not really into the training anymore," Braum said with a smile grin.
"Yes, that would be helpful on all fronts. Please don't take any offense to what just happened, or me wanting to find a place of our own. I will need to be here for a while, and I will be stepping on a lot of toes in the meantime," I said, finally turning back to the pair.
I felt bad for having to make them wait, but I had to make sure all damage control was done. The girl no longer was crying, but she still looked scared.
"My name is Kiada, I am the Leader of the Crimson Legion Guild in Healia. I have come to Dyster for many reasons, and one of them is to look for new Guild Members."
When I said this, the boy looked away, and the girl buried into his back. This was not the reaction that I thought I was going to get.
"Once you hear about my sister's power, you will be just like the rest. It's not her fault! The gods that labeled her a Demon did this to her!" The young man named Victor said.
"Stop looking at the ground and look into my eyes," I said to Victor.
As he looked up, I sought the white flame, and let the sun fill me with warmth and power. At the same time I let out a bit of anger, and Victor gasped, but Alana, the girl stepped around him.
"What are you?" She asked me as I radiated white like and my eyes glowed softly red.
"Something different than the rest, just like you," I said, letting the lights fade.
That display got people staring, but I didn't care now. This city will know my name and respect it one day, they all would. I wasn't going to bully people with fear, but this would not be a clean path.
"I want you and your brother, he is your brother right?" I asked, before going on.
"Yes, but you want us? For what?" The girl asked curiously, no longer seeming as scared.
"To come with me and join my guild. I and the others will help you deal with whatever your Mana is," I explained to her.
"Are you serious?" Victor asked hopefully, stepping up beside his sister, but Corbit slapped a hand down on the top of his shoulder with a smile.
"Miss K is always serious, at least when she says something like this. No one will take you? That's pretty much our specialty, you should see the shape we were all in before joining her!" Corbit said with a smile, and he wasn't wrong.
Everyone looked healthy now, and I hadn't really thought about it. Almost all the Guild Members were people trying to find a place to belong and came in looking half-starved like these two.
"Yes, please," Alana said looking hopeful.
"Of course then, I am in your service," Victor said, putting his fist over his heart and giving me a bow.
Alana, seeing her brother, copied him cutely. The girl would make a good wife for Corbit when he decided to pay attention to her.
I turned and started to walk back up the hill, and Gloria followed beside me.
"I am coming to get something to eat first," Gloria said while walking beside me.
"No, I need you to go and get the money from Candi Or bring the girls, and then we will all eat," I told her.
"Uck, I don't want to go wake them up," Gloria complained.
"Don't be such a whiner or I will tell Mei your hiding candy from her," I said with an evil smile as we crest the hill, but we both stopped.
Herschel was lean against a windowless building, and he stood up straight when we stopped and started to walk over.
