Chapter Six

Mik sat with the alphasand raised her finger to create silence around them.“So, what are you curious about?”

Ymer looked at her in a predatory manner.“You are Elite?”

She made the same noise as an error buzzer.“Ehh.Nope.I am solid human.Born of this earth and carry it in my veins.”

Brexel asked, “You are completely self-taught?”

“Yes.I know there are grimoires around from the shadow mage zone.I haven’t been able to talk to Win yet.Every time I get close, a child steps up, and she takes a picture.”

She shrugged.“I am dangerous enough on my own, without structured destruction classes.”

Brexel blinked.“You knew what we were on sight?”

“Yeah.Your power signature glows bright.”

Ymer said, “Yours is bright but not as bright as it could be.”

“I am in a building with a lot of sensitives, but if you want to see it.”She smiled and dropped the barriers she held around her.It was funny to watch all three of them flinch and shield their eyes.

She tucked her energy signature away again.“See?Noticeable.”

Ymer was blinking to clear his vision.“That is...a lot.”

Mik sipped at her tea.“Oh, you know, it isn’t the size that matters.I am sure you guys do fine.”

Ymer stared at her, and she beamed.

Oren stared at her.

Brexel started laughing.

They began a conversation about power dynamics and energy manipulation.She stopped and got up to take selfies with men, women, and girls and boys dressed like the chaos mage.

When she sat down again, they were amused.Brexel asked, “You don’t mind dressing like that?”

“It’s fine.The wardrobe and makeup are the character.The irritation is all me.”She smiled.She checked her watch.“Oh, I have to go do a thing.”

The guys looked at her, and Ymer said, “Don’t infer anything, but we would like to speak with you again.”

“Sure.Iris has my card.”
