Chapter 6: Can i Fly?
Lydia Pov
"So youre telling me You and Ezra have powers. And that i have powers. But you guys are witches no wait sorry Mages and im a Banshee? Yea no im not buying it."
"Lydia i know its a lot to take in but there is an easier way."
Ezra starts to grin massively while I looks back at them questionably.
Ten minutes later and we're puffing away on the balcony of the second floor.
" COUGH COUGH So youre telling me i can like tell people what to do and they just do it?! THATS SO FUCKING COOL."
"LYDIA language darling a lady must always be poised no matter how intoxicated." We might have taken Mrs. B seriously if she wasnt stoned and laying face down on a pillow.
"You can do a lot more than that Lydia. Magic is all around you. As a banshee your natural affinity to sound based magic is as high as you are. Plus banshees also have other magic, telepathy, future premonitions, death predictions," Ez starts explaining but i cut him off.
"WAIT CAN I FLY?" I look at him with wide eyes before passing him the blunt.
He takes it and inhales a massive puff "Possibly but youre not a direct lineage. Normally it'd pass from mother to daughter but you got it from you dad from his mom."
"So i cant fly. Well whats the fucking point. If youre telling me that i cant even fly. You just want to fucking yell at the werewolves trying to rip my face off??? Bullshit i want better magic."
"Hahahahaha you call it bullshit magic but everyone knows killing a banshee leaves your life cursed. No one is sane enough to slash the throat of an awakened banshee."
"Tsk. So i can't fly?" I ask one last time in hope.
"Well technically yes."
"I WANT TO FLY."
He takes one last drag before passing it to his mom who's watching the whole thing with an amused smile. He leans over to the carpet in the middle of the balcony before his eyes start glowing and he writes some weird gold scripts on the carpet. The carpet shines in a low light before it started floating a few inches off the ground.
He gets on the carpet before reaching his hand out to me "Well C'mon princess, Do you trust me?"
"Oh you did not just Aladdin me? Move over this is my flight time Ez." I hop on the carpet and it slowly starts to move forward. After i got settled on the rug it takes off at high speeds circling around the town and gliding through the clouds.
The night air was cold and brisk and i was loving every second of it until i heard the sound of someone yelling. I look into clearing below to see two guys running through the woods while some guys with crossbows are hunting them down.
"Ezra those people down there you gotta help them." I mean he has magic he should definitely be able to do something here.
But instead he simply looks down and says "Oh its just a couple of Hunters tracking down some werewolves. No need to get directly involved."
I look back at the clearing and see them surrounding the two wolves but the carpet keeps going over them without a single care. I sit there in silence before asking whats on my mind.
"Why did you show me all this?"
"This is a cruel world Lydia. People get killed, taken, experimented on. Werewolves, Druids, Wendigo, Hunters, Berserkers, Hell hounds. Banshees are respected but not many fear them. People will come after you and i refuse to let you end up being someones pawn or someone's personal experiment. I want to properly train you so you can walk around this supernatural world without having to fear for your life."
I've only seen him get this serious a few times and neither of them were light issues. "Okay say i believe you, then what? You and your mom teach me magic and we go around like superheroes?"
"Pfft thats the stupidest idea ever Lydia. While the supernatural might sound cool rule number 1 is always make sure you survive. You can be a hero, you can be a bad guy, but nothing matters if youre dead."
My thoughts flashed back to the two guys being chased and I was wondering if i could survive something like that.
"Fine. Teach me and dont hold back. If i have all this power and die because i didnt utilize it then i dont think i can rest easily."
He smirks at me and says "It's easier than you think. All it takes is a leap of faith." He smirks at me and i get a bad feeling as i finally see his arm thrust out at me and before i can realize it im falling through the air.
"AAAAAAAAAAAH YOU ASS HOLE HURRY UP AND CATCH ME" Im falling fast and hard and the ground is getting closer and closer. I feel my heartbeat start beating faster and faster and finally i feel a clench in my gut while waiting to kiss death.
But my smooch never comes as i open my eyes and realize im hovering about the ground shakily.
"Holy shit!" i choke out in between breaths "Im flying."
"Levitating actually" the asshole says as he descends from the ground. "You can levitate meaning you can only move 5 meters from the ground. Flight is the ability to freely move through space even creating your own leverage. So Lydia are you finally ready to learn." He asks as his eyes glow green and he starts floating next to me. I look at his eyes. The golden eyes i got so used to now illuminated by a neon green. My eyes flash a silvery white without me knowing before i finally fall flat.
Looking him dead in the eyes i settle my breathe and steeling my nerves before finally
"Im ready."
