"WHAT?! You know how to remove the seal on my power?!"

"No. What are you hearing? That's not what I said", Nathan replied in utter disagreement.

"Oh... Sorry, I think I got a little excited. What did you say again?" Mia asked a little embarrased.

"(Sigh) I said that I think I can weaken the seal on your power. It's not possible for me to remove the seal completely. Only the person that made the seal can do that."

"... But- I can't think of anyone who would put a seal on me?"

"Well you have to figure it out. If my hunch is correct, that should be the major reason why you didn't discover your power up until now. If you want to start thinking, start from the time when your power was supposed to manifest, around the ages 5 to 10.... As for now, let's just try weakening it. "

"Well, look at you. When did you become a pro on seals", Roxanne said joining in on their conversation. They were in the living room after all.

"When I had to make one", Nathan replied.

"And when was that?" Roxanne asked.

"Let's get on to weakening this seal, shall we?" Nathan requested, referring to Mia.

"Right sure", she responded.

"Did he just intentionally change the subject", Roxanne thought confused, "No. It's Nathan. He never ignores me.... I'm probably reading too much into it."

Mia sat down on the couch. Nathan placed his right hand on Mia's head, with his thumb placed on her forehead and his left hand on her shoulder.

"Remember. I'm not sure if I can weaken it so don't be too dependent on me. As I do my thing, try and force your power out."

"And how do I do that?"

"Well... I don't know. Figure it out", he said nonchalantly.

"Thanks for the advice", Mia replied sarcastically.

Nathan closed his eyes and began. Mia did the same, still unsure of what to do.

"Okay. How do I force this out?" she thought, "Should I try focusing on what I feel?" She began to concentrate. "I feel a foreign energy moving around my body, as if it's going towards one direction. Is this Nathan's power? If I could follow it as a guide.... The energy has come to a stop at a central area, unable to go in. Is this where the seal is? It feels weird but somewhat nostalgic. I can feel a familiar energy behind the seal. It feels- like me.... Concentrate and push it out Mia. PUSH-IT-OUT!"

Nathan felt as if the seal was weakening. Almost immediately, he's power was repelled, which suddenly pushed him a few steps away from her.

"Gargh!" he stifled his exclamation slightly as he held his hands. Mia opened her eyes.

"Nathan, are you okay?" Roxanne went towards him, concerned.

Nathan looked at his hands and saw that they were trembling but stopped shortly after. "(Phew)Yeah, I'm okay. This isn't really my area of expertise. Ha ha- Guess I'm not a pro after all... Aww, were you worried about me, Roxy?"

"Even now, you're still joking around. Looks like I shouldn't waste my worries on you."

"Hey, wait. I was just acting tough. It actually stung my hand a bit", Nathan defended.

"Yeah, yeah, sure."

"I'm being serious."

"Hey, Nathan. Did it work?" Mia asked still sitting down.
