"You're right. I'm not. Let me start. Eh hem. I'm Astrid, my twin brother is Kronos. I'm a water manipulator, he's fire, and apparently we haven't been here as long as you." Astrid held her hands up slightly and looked at him, blue eyes flashing. "That's the abridged version. I'm not keeping any secrets, you just haven't asked any questions." she said with a shrug. "So ask away."

Kento raised his hands as if in defeat."No worries!" He leaned back forward, the first two legs of his chair thudding against the ground."I'm Kento Hart, warlock extraordinaire. My twin sister is Sierra Hart, and she is a witch. We both have gravity manipulation. No secrets." Kento looked pleased at himself, although one thing was screaming to get out. |

"Interseting. Where are you from?" Astrid asked, reaching down and taking a swig from her water jug. "Kronos and I are from Chicago." She took off her cap for a moment, letting her hair fall to her shoulders. The light shining in through the windows reflected off her golden locks, making them shine like hay. Astrid sighed. Even though a little light only got through and reached her, it drained her powers slightly. At most, it made her drowsy.

Kento self-consciously ran a hand through his own shaggy hair."Vernon. It's a small town down in Utah. Most people have no idea it exists, and I liked it that way." He bit his lip, suddenly not so teasing. He was getting a little too close for comfort at the subject of his parents. |

"I wish I lived somewhere like that. Nice and quiet. I could never handle the city." Astrid shook her head. Suddenly she smacked her fist in the table. "This is all so taxing! Being taken from your family, coming here, and then.. Wondering. Who you are. How this happened to you." she rubbed her eye like she was brushing away a tear. "I've been doing some genealogy and history, to see if we are all descended from one ansestor, who maybe had all these powers. But nothing so far." she shrugged and forced a laugh.

Kento blinked in surprise, then down at the table."I had no family to be taken from." He murmured quietly, half hoping he didn't hear. He tried to think of something witty to lift his spirits again, but nothing came to mind. Lately, both he and Sierra were having even more trouble to let go of their problems. He wondered if something connecting to their death was rising, maybe that name that always caused he and his sister to lose control."Have you found anything on the name-" Kento swallowed loudly."Nathazar?" He immediately gripped the table and his own leg, his neck bulging and eyes hardened. Sweat dotted his brow, then soon he relaxed, trying to act as if it didn't happen. |

Astrid sensed the sweat pop up on Kento's forehead, because sweat is a form of water, after all. "Actually, it did pop up once. It was in this book. It's older than the rest of these, and most of the chapters are in a different style of writing. It talks about him being.. Hold on." Astrid grabbed the book and flipped to the page Nathazar was mentioned on. The name was familiar. It sent a shiver of cold energy racing down her spine and made the hair on the back of her neck stand up. "Here. '..and Nathazar is the master manipulator, able to spontaneously control anyone he wishes to, leaving them with no memory of what he makes them do.'" She flipped through the pages. "It seems he's been around for centuries, but it gives no physical disruption. I know his name from somewhere, I just can't place my finger on it. Why do you ask?" Astrid looked up at Kento

Kento was now very sweaty and pale. His hands were clammy and barely holding their grip on the table."Nothing, I just-" He stood, almost stumbling onto the scarlet carpet on the library."I gotta go." Kento weakly grabbed his leather jacket, dropping it once before putting it on."See you later." He said weakly and half-heartedly, rushing the best he could towards the door and leaving his book open on the table. |

"Kento, wait!" Astrid yelled in a loud whisper, standing up as Kento hurriedly fled the library. On impulse she grabbed the book with Nathazar's name in it and stuck it in her bag. She stood up and walked over to the shelves to where she had found that book, and pulled off an armful of volumes that she hoped would contain more information in this mysterious figure that had sent Kento fleeling. Astrid placed the books methodically in a semi-circle around her at the table and started searching each book.
