Secrets

Riza and Anaterasu waited in the palace

"The people here are so polite," marveled Emily as she walked in with Cyril, being shown in by some Rava girl.

"Here we are, as per your request." Cyril dipped his head in greeting.

"Did my servants treat you well?" Asked Riza

"Very well, they're very polite here." Emily smiled and waved goodbye to the Rava girl who was taking her exit.

Riza walked over and patted the Rava girl on the head. "Good job Samantha, I'm proud of you."

The girl giggled and nodded. "Thank you my lord." She then quickly left.

"They are all former slaves. After I rescued them all they wanted to help me in any way possible." Explained Riza

Cyril nodded. "So, to the matter at hand?"

"I want to pass on my abilities in case the worst happens during our upcoming battles." The smile faded and Riza stared solemnly at Cyril.

"Oh." Cyril was taken aback. He hadn't expected it to be so solemn. Well, he had, but still.

"As strong as people think I am I have my limits. I probably would have lost against Cironos if he had stayed. That new ability takes so much out of me. And if that happens I want my abilities to be passed on."

"I understand," Cyril said. "Amaterasu will be your heir, as it were?"

Emily shuffled, she hadn't expected such a solemn occasion. She wasn't normally present for those.

Riza nodded. "She has already far surpassed me."

Amaterasu sighed, somewhat upset. "It's only because of my genes. Otherwise I would be weaker than the rest of you."

"Your modesty becomes you, Amaterasu." Cyril smiled.

Amaterasu looked up. "Eh, at least I have my planet powers. That's kinda cool. And I bet no one else can do that."

Riza looked around. "Well I think we should get started."

"Alright, how shall we begin?"

Emily read the Traffic Exchange and got a good laugh out of the second from the bottom.

Riza pulled out a syringe with blood in it. "This is a specific gene from my mutation. This is the gene that controls my elements."

Eugh, AIDS. "And you're going to have to stick that in me?" Cyril asked distastefully.

"It's basically injecting you with power. And besides, I'm immune to disease. You won't cat h anything from me."

"Fine," Cyril relented.

Emily decided to sit down somewhere. Cyril had told her she probably wouldn't learn much, but she withheld that she might get a bit stronger.

Riza injected Cyril with the ability of Fire, wind, and earth.

"So, do I get control over all elements or just a few?"

"You have fire, earth, and wind. Any more an your body would break down. Without my full mutation you cannot handle more than three elements."

Cyril shrugged and decided that there was no point in attempting to gain more. "Alright then, I'll take your word for it."

"I'm going to teach you elemental overload."

Amaterau got ready

"Choose where you want your three elements. Like one on each arm and one in your mouth."

"Can I choose more than one appendage for an element?" Cyril queried, deciding if he was doing this he was doing it right.

"Not until you become more skilled. Eventually you can learn to mix elements. Like Amaterasu's ice lightning, or my dark fire."
