“Sounds like an awesome power!” David exclaimed when he heard what Serena could do. [i]Healing, putting people on fire. All that when she only had 3 tails yet. What would she be able to do when she has 7? Or 9? Or 12!? Wait, how many can she have maximum? Don’t ask that![/i] he thought to himself. Then he heard what Kyuu could do. “Wow! Control plasma! That’s awesome. Really awesome.” He said to Kyuu with a smile. [i]I hope he won’t set me on fire. Please don’t let me die because of fire. It sounds so…painful. [/i] he thought. “Both of those powers are actually really cool. I’m looking forward on seeing how they evolve.” He said to both of them. Then he heard Serena’s question.

“M-My power?” he tried to say. He was never allowed to talk about it. His parents called his abilities ‘abominations’. He still remembered what they said when they caught him creating light orbs in his room: [b] These are NOT things normal boys do! Oh god, what will aunt Irma say? Or the neighbors! Imagine what they would say when they found out at work!? Patrick would be all over it! [/b] his mother had been saying. So he had to keep it quiet and never work on his powers again. He didn’t really obey. A fortnight later he was under his blankets making silvery lights. He wouldn’t make a golden light one again. That was the one that got him caught. But the silvery lights were little and barely shined any light. They couldn’t see that. All that happened a few years ago. But never the less he couldn’t really make anything beyond silvery lights.

“It’s really…I don’t know…stupid and you know…pathetic.” He said awkwardly. “So far I –euhm- could only make little silver light. I’d show you guys but there’s too much light here. The orbs aren’t that strong. You can only see them when it’s dark. But I could show you tonight?” he said, facing Serena. The again he realized what he said. [i]Ryuu, if somehow you are also a mind-reader. Do me a favor. Set me on fire.[/i] he thought.
