We're Gifted
Chapter 22
Third persons POV:
" Times up Kriza. Did you have decided who will you side? To them or to us? "Kashton asked. He was expecting that Kriza will side them.
Still, Kriza can't decide which group she will side. Nevertheless, she will never choose between the two.
" Kriza, the time is ticking. We can't wait until tomorrow." Her brother said. Kashton was expecting Kriza to answer.
Kriza was in deep thoughts. She pinched her arms and bit her lower lip.
"I  can't. I can't choose between the two. They are important to me Kashton. We shared bonds even in a short period of time."  Kriza look directly to Kashton's eyes
"Bonds?!" Kashton can't believe. Disgusted was written on his face.
"Bonding is based on shared experiences.
This deeper mental engagement tends to make hard times more memorable—and our memory is linked with the people with whom we went through difficulty. We remember the friend who stayed in touch. We hold close the colleague who needed our support when she was struggling. Pain is a shared experience and it is the combination of deeper processing and more memorable circumstances which tend to link us with others." Richard opened a discussion
"Bonds tend to make us feel good, connected and concerned for others.  The bonds within us are strengthened causing a protective response, including the desire for our friends to be happy and prosperous—and the desire to ensure that no one from the outside causes a threat to this positivity.  To protect and support our friends. This feeling of closeness and protectiveness with your friends is part of what creates strong bonds. I believe it creates a ‘social glue’ where we want the best for our friends and will take action to try and get it." Tasha move an inched forward. She wink and smile on Kriza.
" Openness and vulnerability tends to foster bonding. When we are vulnerable to others, it shows we trust them. And when someone helps us, it is proof they care enough to pay attention and take action. We—and they—obtain 'affinity proof'—a signal of trust and evidence the relationship matters." Tricia
"Enough with that discussion!" Kashton raised his voice. "And that bond ruined by betrayal. Trust? It was ruined the moment they betray you, Kriza. Openness? You must be kidding. All of you never opened about the truth." He pointed them out.
"I was just carried away. Richard discussed it first." Tasha pout.
Angry sliced on Kashton's face.
Ten minutes before twelve o'clock in the morning. They keep on talking and convincing Kriza to side them.
Until they opened a topic, the history about their powers.
"Dad? What do you mean? People don't have powers before? So, how did they acquire those power?" Tasha asked curiously
"Tasha, just one question at a time. I would have asked questions but, unfortunately you already asked. "Ruben
" So? I should ask you like, Ruben do you have any questions about that? "Tasha rolled her eyes at Ruben.
" Yes, you should. "Ruben teased Tasha.
"one are you sure Richard, Ruben is really your cousin? It's not obvious he is a member of the Heav clan. It doesn't run through his blood."Tasha
" Probably in the face. "Ruben brought his face close to Richard's face
" If in the face. He looks human, while you look like a monkey. "Tasha
" And the both of you still have time to quarrel? I'm going to bump your both heads if you two won't stop. "Troy
" Yeah. We're going to stop. Isn't it Tasha? "Ruben
" Of course. "Tasha faked a smile
Because of the quarrel between the two of them, they didn't listen to what Timothy said first.
" That is why people have powers. "Timothy said
Tasha and Ruben were confused because the they only heard the last sentence Timothy said. They tried to ask Troy but Troy just stared at them blankly. When they reached for Rex, Rex rolled his shoulder.
"It's your fault why we are confused now." Tasha
Ruben scratch his head." It's your fault Tasha. "Ruben blamed
" For your information, it was your fault. "Tasha
"You two should quarrel. "Dexter teased
They stopped blaming each other. While the other person who was listening was amaze. They couldn't believe what the God of heaven did.
Their power was given to protect them from wild beasts and witches. The God of heaven sent five guardians. They have distinctive abilities which represent the different clans. But, people were greed about the throne and want to compete who is strong.They believe strong people leads the weaker one.
Because of their beliefs and perspective in life it results of ruining the lives of others.
A fierce war took place. In the past, many years ago that there is always a bloody battle.
"Why Rov-ien family can control more than one ability? Is it because they're mother and father have different abilities that inherited by their child?" Richard asked
"No. Their ancestors were high rank gurdian. They have a control over five elemental powers which are lightning, earth, wind, water and fire." Timothy explained
"Even the parents of the child have different abilities only one ability the child can inherit." Kashton
"You knew about this?" Timothy asked
"Of course. I always read it when I was young." Kashton said emotionless
Kashton continue. "Our ancestors sent on this earth to stop the wars. They're mission is to make peace in this world. Yes they really did." He stop for a moment. " But, in exchange for what they did, they were betrayed and killed ."
Sometimes, because of their beliefs and perspective in life it results of ruining the lives of others. People betray 'cause of excessive ambition, greed, lust or passion. When a person cannot control is overcome with these vices, he's liable to betray. It is greater than any sense of loyalty, integrity or honesty people may have.
Everyone can betray even the people who are precious to you.
"If the Rov-ien family can control five elemental powers, so Kashton and Kriza can control it?" Tasha
" I can control only three elemental powers." Kashton admitted
" Then, why sis Kriza—I never saw her use her ability?" Tasha
"G-granny s-sealed it. I don't know how many powers I can control. I only knew is that, I can't suppressed my power." Kriza
