guardians and all, or at least most, things supernatural. I’ll have powers once I join the others in the afterlife. I’ll be able to heal just like I assume Sophia can, and I have been learning about how to transport myself through time and space, called astral crossing or projection…it’s pretty cool. Anything I do once I become a guardian – everything I do–must be for the greater good of man, or I will lose all powers and memories related to being a guardian ,” he explains.
This is cool, now we have even more help and complete honesty within our circle.
“ Okay, let me get this straight. I’m the only one with no special story, no powers...,” Nathanial begins to rant.
“ Nate, have you ever noticed how most people confide in you, how people can’t keep things from you?” Matt questions.
Ebony and I share a glance and chuckle at the comment.
“ I guess so…that’s just ‘cause I am too nice to tell them I’m not interested,” Nathanial pouts.
“ Naw man, that is your gift, you just didn’t know it. You have the gift to expel information out of ones who are hiding things. You are like a truth serum. You might not have supernatural powers, but you’re a good guy. We all just have to find what is special about us. You make people feel comfortable and they trust you without you even trying. Someone else might be extremely helpful or kind to strangers. Everyone is special in their own way; some good and some bad. I don’t have ‘powers’…at least not until I am dead. And then who knows what other powers I may have,” Matt confirms.
“ Nate, I have to agree with Matt. When we first met I had such a hard time keeping everything from you. My entire family felt it; we talked about it, and none of us understood what was happening. We were drawn to you and felt instant comfort; we felt the need to learn more about you and to tell you more than we should. I was so relieved when you confronted me about my past. It meant I didn’t have to fight what I wanted to tell you,” I admit for the first time. “And Matt, I disagree that you don’t have a gift yet. You can relax and calm people.”
“ Yeah, that is standard for future guardians . We need to have that effect on people to get them to listen to us, even if the guardian doesn’t know what they are yet.”
I’m feeling so relieved with all the confessions going on. The fact that my family is not the only ones affected by Nathanial’s kind of truth ability is interesting too. I’m glad to finally understand why now, and believe that we can all learn so much from Matt. We sit and listen as he explains his training in greater detail. He has done extensive research on the supernatural and we’ll all gain from his knowledge.
We all chuckle. It is remarkable that Matt knows so much about witches and their history–I think Ebony is relieved. Nathanial understands a little more now, and the four of us begin discussing the threats heading our way. Matt is giving us some good insight on other threats we may face down the road. I think we’re not only forming great friendships, but great allies in the fight against all Cerberus and whatever else may come our way.
Matt starts explaining more about the guardians to us, “When a chosen one passes on, their spirit joins The Great Ones in a magical realm and they begin to complete their training. This training consists of all the things they can’t learn while still alive, including all the powers they gain and extensive practice. Once The Great Ones have completed the formal training, the guardian can return to Earth. When they return they can live as a magical human figure. To everyone that sees them they appear to be human; even witches can’t tell until the guardian reveals themselves to the witches they are assigned to work with.”
“ So what can’t you learn until after you die?” Nathanial inquires.
“ Well, like I mentioned earlier, various kinds of astral travel can’t be
