Chapter 10 - William

Estimated reading time: ±5 minutes

It had already been a month since the Black Eagles and The Legion were untraceable, no matter where the research was being done, and the most surprising thing was that The Legion was no longer sending messages on television channels. They were trying to make themselves forgotten, but Wamien won't forget them. While he was thinking about all this in his room, Gaia came to see him.

Gaia: Um, Wamien, excuse me for bothering you.
Wamien : You don't bother me, Gaïa, what is it?
Gaia: There's a young man who wants to see you, he says his name is William.
Wamien : Tell him I'm coming.
Gaia: Okay.

She left the room by gently closing the door. Gaia was always shy with everyone, but when it came time to use her powers. She's not embarrassed or afraid.

I go down a little later to go towards the front door and while passing in front of the living room I hear Gaïa calling me. So I turn around and go into the living room. A young man about 14-15 years old who was sitting and talking with Gaia.

Wamien : Hello William.
William: Good morning.

William looked at Wamien and seemed a little intimidated.

Wamien : You know you can be comfortable here, we don't mean you any harm.
William: I know, I just want to know if... If I can join you.
Wamien : Well, I don't know. Depends on a lot of things. Do you have a power? Are your parents okay with this?
William: Yes, I have a power and then I am an orphan, my parents died four years ago.
Wamien : Oh, my condolences, but how did you get here?

William closed his eyes. A great sorrow invades me in a strange way. Persistent, she refused to leave despite all the good memories I tried to remember. I come to understand the power he possessed: Mood control.

Gaia started crying.

Gaïa : Oh, it's so sad! Wamien, we can't leave him like this.
Wamien : I'll see who can accommodate him.
William: As long as nobody knows I'm here, I can even sleep on the floor.
Wamien : Why as long as nobody knows I'm here?
William : I did some stupid things trying to get here... Involuntarily of course, but still.
Wamien : Oh, I see.
William : So I'd like it to remain silent until I'm forgotten a little, is that possible?
Wamien : Yes it is possible.
William: Thank you.

I smile at the young man.

Wamien : But you must use your power for good, understand?
William: No worries.
Wamien : All right then, follow me, we'll find you a place where you can sleep.

He nodded, ready to settle down. I go to the door of the house and open it at the same time to turn back to William.

Wamien : If not, what is your full name?
William: William Alexander.
Wamien: William Alexander, mood control, right.

I go to Hiro's house and when I get near his house, we can hear him training.

Wamien: Go ahead, William.

William goes in front and we go into Hiro's backyard. Hiro had made a sword appear and made movements that looked almost like a dance. William's facial expression is confused, he doesn't know if he should be impressed or start laughing. I decide to step forward and cough into my hand to get your attention. When Hiro realizes our presence, he makes his sword disappear and stands at attention.

Hiro: Hello Chief!
Wamien : Hi, Hiro, you know you don't need to do this?
Hiro: I know Chef.
Wamien : Well, get back to your usual routine.

Hiro stops standing at attention and smiles at William.

Hiro: Who is this young man?
Wamien : I let you introduce yourself, William?
William: William Alexander, I have the power to control people's emotions.
Wamien : William is an orphan, so we're looking for someone who can teach him how to control his powers and who can provide him with a place to sleep.
Hiro : I would be happy to be his tutor and that he is my apprentice, on the other hand, I warn you, you will not have him easy every day little man. I am a strict and severe person!
William: A bit like my mother, it won't change.
Hiro: So welcome to my home, William!

I smile, the two already seem to get along well. I leave them both and will contact Darakei to see if we have any news about the Black Eagles and The Legion. I go home and get my phone before I contact Darakei.

Darakei: Hello Wamien.
Wamien : Hello, Darakei, any news about the bands we're looking for?
Darakei : Still not, I'm studying a way to better find those who have the genes to be new humans.
Wamien: That's good news. On the other hand, the Black Eagles and The Legion will end up making a goof that will allow us to find them.
Darakei : I reassure you that all authorities are on the alert and have portraits of all members.
Wamien: That's something. If I can help you with the genes, don't hesitate.
Darakei : Actually, I would need you and some other Guild members for a blood test.
Wamien : Ah? Okay, if you can send me a list don't hesitate.
Darakei: I'll send it to you tonight.
Wamien : No problem, when will you want to see us?
Darakei: The sooner the better, but there is no rush.
Wamien : I'll talk to the people on the list.
Darakei: All right, see you then.
Wamien : See you soon.

We hang up and I wait to see the list that Darakei will send me.
