The beginning was my end.
For something to grow, I had to diminish.
My fall was my greatest achievement.
The sacrifice was made in order to become something unfathomable...
Something... destructive.
Everything comes with a price, but what happens wh...
Remembering something I drop my smirk and look up to him genuine curiosity.
"Wait, before - did you say 'academy'?"

"Wait, before - did you say academy?"
He sighs out a 'yes' and rubs the crease between his eyebrows. "Give me strength for this long conversation." He looks up to the sky, and leans back on his hands, as if speaking to a god or something. I stare at him strangely, are all of these academy people this weird? He glares at me as soon as the thought passes through my head.
I put my hands up in defence, sorry not sorry. Besides, he wouldn't be mad if he didn'tread my thoughts every damn second. Damon's glare turns into an amused smirk, talk about mood swings. As if to prove my point he glares again and I groan.
"We're not getting anywhere! So can you please stop reading my thoughts and tell me about this god forsaken academy?" I rub my temples before resting my elbows on my knees, giving him my full attention and curiosity for what new information he spits out.
He rolls his eyes but sits up straight as well, taking a serious expression on his face. "I'm not good at letting you know gently or subtly or whatever so I'm just going to be frank - The government built an academy for people like us, people that have powers, to learn and build their 'special abilities' stronger. Every person that attends the academy is the same age, has the same birthday but different abilities. For example I have Mental AD-003OD, and my friend Oscar has Transformation ID-014OD. We all live in the same place, on a secluded island south-west of Asia and south-east of America, so nobody is harmed by the radiation we produce when we train or simply walk about. Got that?"
Okay.....what?
My brain is swirling a million times per hour with the new information, everything repeating itself to me and my eyes bug out of my head. Anyone could attack me right now and I wouldn't take any notice, feeling vulnerable doesn't sit well with me and I snap my gaze back to Damen quickly, making sure he didn't move any closer - he didn't.
What the hell is Mental AD-003-something and Transformation ID-something something? If it really were an academy then why the f*ck were there people shooting at me and chasing me for the last - I don't know - five years?! Wha-
"Shut up! Jesus, my brain will explode with the amount of thinking you're doing." Damen brings me back to Earth with his hissing, I look at him to see him rubbing his temples again annoyingly. My eye twitches, does he even hear himself right now?
"The answers to your questions - Mental AD-003OD is the name of my ability. The first part of the title is the type your ability goes under, for mine it is Mental because I mainly do stuff from my mind like, reading minds, telekinesis, force fields, stuff like that. The second part is the level you are at with your powers, there are four stages - probationer (PB), intermediate (IM), advanced (AD) and the finale stage professional (PF)." He looks at me with a question in his eyes and I nod in response, saying that I've understood everything that he's said so far, he nods back in satisfaction and continues.
