TEN YEARS PRIOR<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Resonance Souls are like a more advanced version of the zodiac,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Esvera stated, scooting up close to her student. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Every Resonant has a type of soul it likes to attach to. For example: The Phoenix. People who have the Phoenix as their rez are often stubborn, full of themselves, and overconfident in their fire powers.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nMs. Rose’s dark blue eyes looked deep into her student’s, which were covered with thick sunglasses.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Mr. Dantes has the Jade Armor. People with that Resonant are often strong, intelligent, and make good leaders.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
The student, only fifteen, finally spoke. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This seems like common sense,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he muttered, not really interested.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153A rez can tell a lot about a person, Q. My rez is the Tortoise Eye, for instance. I can protect myself and others as well as identify other people’s rez from their use of ki.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You mean energy?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Q questioned the vocabulary.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yes. The energy we use for our special gifts is called ki.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Esvera sighed. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153But your limiter prevents you from using either.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
The student was quick to change the subject. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153So what does the Tortoise Eye say about you?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Ms. Rose smirked. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Tortoise Eyes like helping other people, to the point of self-sacrifice.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Q frowned, his greying hair falling over his glasses. He hardly had any of his original hair color left anymore. Except his tail, which was still a fluffy dark brown.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Is that usually how they die? Self sacrifice?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yes,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Esvera answered. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Unfortunately so.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Q looked down, his tail swaying solemnly. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I don’t think I’d want to predict my own death.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Esvera patted her student on the back and handed him a large Book entitled \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Resonant Philosophy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153This documents the known reoccurring resonants that have been studied and what kind of reincarnation patterns they have.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Q took the book, albeit wearily.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153That is, if you ever change your mind,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Esvera chimed.<\/p>\n
Q held the book in his left hand, staring at it before flipping it over to look at the back, which held some long description about this newfound science and what unprecedented information it could hold. After a few moments, he finally asked what was on his mind.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Is it bad to hide away a rez? And your ki? If resonants are such a big part of us, does that mean I’m killing myself?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Esvera ran a hand through her light blonde hair before her maternal instincts kicked in.
\nShe hugged the teenager. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I don’t know. Maybe. Nobody’s ever had such a strong limiter on at such a young age,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she whispered.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153But I am sure you’ll be okay. You’ve lasted this long, right?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Q shook a bit in his teacher’s arms.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It’s just… I’m afraid.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Esvera pet her student’s greying hair, shushing him. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153A Resonant is nothing to be afraid of,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she whispered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[12],"tags":[],"series":[30],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=282"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":452,"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282\/revisions\/452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=282"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fseries&post=282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
