Sterling

"You are all doing excellent! Your ancestors would be proud." I smirked. Now that they knew what I knew, things would likely go a lot smoother. I was grateful that Jared took the liberty of telling everyone for me. And Kindra wasn't far from his shadow.

"Hey, Sterling." Mike came up behind me. "With the modifications Rain and Ivar did to my room does this mean I am done eating nasty beans?"

"Yes, that was really only necessary to activate your power and sustain it while in it's early stages. In the past few days, your powers have already surpassed most of those dwelling here. You are transforming before our eyes. You may have noticed Jared's recent transformation. The two of you are not only getting stronger, but you are becoming your powers. You've both already passed myself in the transformation stage, it's amazing how your human genes have sped up the process immensely. It's taken me years to achieve what the two of you have achieved in one week. I suspect that it will take me another couple hundred years to get up to speed, unless Jared decides to give me a little push as well."

"What do you mean, as well?"

"Oh, he didn't tell you, but he's planning on changing everyone to meet their purest potential. He doesn't even really know how he's going to do it yet, but it's only a matter of time. I suggest you go back to your room now, your starting to wilt."

"Ugh! I don't want to be confined to my room! it's bad enough being stuck in this cave." he grumbled as he headed back to his room. "this will get better, won't it?"

"I suspect it will. I don't have the full picture like Jared does, I only have what was documented. Just words, no pictures. Why don't you ask our new arrival what she thinks of all this."
