Capítulo 33: Desire for More

Farron watched with Reese as Titania sprinted away into the forest and disappeared into the thickness of the forest. The wind blew gently at the them, sending small chills down her back making her aware evermore of where she is.

She admired Titania's blind faith in the facility orders, never questioned them once and completed their request for to the best of his ability. Blind faith, Farron struggled with this concept, never asking questions or hesitating, always accepting orders regardless of its difficulty. She admired that he had it and was jealous that he had it.

She stared at the spot where Titania disappeared into the forest. Emotions swelled in her stomach and she began to dig her nails into the palm of her hand in frustration. Then she felt a tap on her shoulder, it was Reese.

She then noticed that he and Beliz was leaving and quickly followed suite. She walked on the side of Reese but behind Beliz as he was his boss, doing so would be disrespectful and could be considered insubordination by those extremists who study manners.

She shoot a quick glance behind her shoulder to see if General Rad and Ajax were following. She was surprised to see that he wasn't following them. From the moment General Rad has set foot into the research facility he has practically clung to Beliz thigh, they were never seen separated. General Rad was always asking questions to Beliz or making small talk and Beliz was answered them, regardless of how annoying he was and Ajax was always close to the General.

"You guys are done for the day. You can do whatever you want for the day," Beliz said glancing at them for a moment and then speeding up to separate from the group. Reese then waved a temporary goodbye before he went into a different hallway.

Now Farron was alone in the hallway walking forwards with no goal in mind. She thinks of what she wants to do as she walks forward. Nothing comes to mind as she keeps walking forward. She eventually decides to go to her living quarter.

When she eventually got to her room she threw her lab coat over a chair and threw herself onto the bed and laid there face down. She lied motionless as she buried her body into the blanket covers and pillows.

Bored and with no way to kill the time she swung out her hand and started to grab randomly at her nightstand in search of a tablet. Once she found it she touched it a few times to make sure that it was a tablet and then swung it onto her bed.

She then flipped herself over and turned on her tablet. She flipped through the apps in search of finding anything entertaining in her eyes and yet still failed. She then decided to look at recorded footage that was only a few days old.

The video footage of combat assessment between Titania and General Rad. The facility has recorded footage of every test and assessment that Titania has taken. Access to this is open to everyone in the facility and has no form of security as it would slow down the process.

She watched the tablet closely as she sees Titania and Rad fight. She sees as Rad fights restrained as to not damage the subject yet he still fights elegantly. Never making a mistaking, mixing feints with real strikes, dodging most strikes and the ones that do make contact seem to roll off of him like water. She also see Titania fight... not so elegantly, she sees him stumbling after missing a strike, putting too much or little force behind a strike, but alas he still stands on his feet. He gets a lucky punch every now and then while trying his best to dodge attacks from Rad.

Tension increases in her chest almost choking her throat as she watches. Her knuckles turn white as she tightens her grasps on the tablet. Her teeth are closes shut and grind upon each other as though in a fight of their own.

Soon the video ends. Her breathing turns ragged and strained as though she is choking herself and fights to be free. She stares at the frozen final image of video in jealousy.

Yes, she is Jealous! It fills her bodily vessel to the brim and overflows unto the ground. She gets up from her bed, tablet in hand, and throws it into wall in a wild jealous rage. She screams in her room, her own voice echoing around piercing her eardrums. She throws herself on the floor as tears flow from her eyes across her burning cheeks.

"What makes THEM so special!" She screams to herself as she chokes on her own tears on the cold floor. It is cool to the touch soothing her heated body. "I have done MUCH MORE than they have and yet THEY GET TO DO THIS."

On the floor she remembers the fight between Ajax and Beliz. She saw how he bends metal with his very thoughts, controlling as easy as he breaths. He bends it into shapes and sends it at speeds faster than her eyes could see. She saw Ajax, who is able to slow them down with just his mind.

The potential they all had, Rad and Titania, Ajax and Beliz. And endless amount of possibilities at there fingertips. They could go anywhere, work for anyone, and live a rich and easy life. This enraged her. She, who had no talent in anything like that.

She has tried many times. She has tried to temper her body into a pugilist, as she saw how they were able to control their bodies, punch through walls, and able to endure any pain. She saw the Espers, controlling what they were attuned with, be it water or the earth, the air or even some foreign material she knows nothing of. But she failed. Her body injured almost beyond repair when she tried tempering it the basis of the pugilist. For the Espers, she couldn't wield any elements, she felt no connection to anything no matter what she had done.

She saw the Psychics, how they were able to much more with their mind than just move objects. How they would create a shield of energy protecting them from harm and much more. She saw the mages, who were able to read and speak dead and forgotten languages. How they would weave arcane energy like a tapestry and see what would unfold. But like before she failed. She nearly broke her mind trying to lift a spoon or how she couldn't produce the most basic spell a mage could do in their sleep.

For the artificers a crowd that hides themselves the most as they are weak like the common mortal but the tools that they could create, the riddles that couldn't be solved by the regular mind, enticed her as well. But like before she failed.

She failed every time but her spirit persisted but dampened. But who would thought that it would be reignited. When she her of a project that would modify the body, strengthen it, and had more unknown abilities, she jump at the sight of it. She wrote her name on the dotted line to work at the facility and now here she is.

She stays close to subject to see how it would affect the body before. She wrote more details regarding the infection than most of the researchers and wrote even more details in her private journal.

As she thought of the facility and the research they are doing she smiles. She smiles so hard that her faces begins to tighten and hold it. She then proceeded to laugh in jealousy and in hope of the now bright future as her saving grace is here.

The infection.
