Chapter Three: Training
"You need to learn to control it if you want to be stable," said Anta Quor. I had been training with her over my imparter ever since I had discovered my ability, and I was not to talk to anyone about it. "You need to prevent your emotions from overflowing. I will send you an elixir that should help even your emotions out, but you still will need to learn how to control them. In particular, you need to learn how to control death."
"What?! How can I feel death? That's not an emotion. That's death." I pointed out.
"I suppose, but you can feel death." She said. I rolled my eyes.
"Ok, so then tell me, what does death feel like." I asked.
"Good question. Death, to put it simply, is the feeling of power, sadness, rage, and strangely enough, calm. You know it when you feel it, and it washes over you. At first you feel angry, but then you feel sad, and then a creeping sense of calm." She trailed off, looking into the distance.
"Okay... I guess I know what you are talking about?" I asked, not entirely sure.
"Ok. Now, feel death." She said. I imagined the emotions bubbling from my heart like boiling water, letting of plumes of steam, filling me with everything I could imagine. Hate. Sadness. Calm. Power. Death.
"Now what do I do?" I asked.
"Let it go. let it pour out of every corner, every crevice, every tiny spot of your body." She instructed. I let the emotions pour out of my body. I let them swirl around, before exiting, and leaving me with a blank slate.
"How do you feel?" She asked tenatively.
"Blank." I said flatly.
"good. You are ready to be around people." She said approvingly.
"What?! But I haven't tested it or anything!" I said. She looks at me straight in the eye.
"I know. But to take the life away of any living thing is a terrible thing. It removes from this planet, it doesn't give anything to it. You will train with me in person, and you will become more powerful. But you need to go back to school. Enjoy your childhood, even though you have been given a burden that is too much for someone as young as yourself to bear.
"But I will see you next week in ability training." She added ominously before the Imparter's screen went blank.
