Chapter 6

Jason woke up a little after three in the morning, feeling more refreshed and invigorated than he did on those rare occasions when he managed to snag nine hours of sleep. He’d poured over countless books pertaining to category six wizards so he was familiar with the concept that they required less sleep than other wizards and humans but the reality hadn’t sank in until now. His new talent would have a direct impact on his physiology. His aging would slow down and if he linked with a vortex on a regular basis, his aging would halt altogether. As long as he lived in this house or in the Seattle area, he would be immortal. Jason couldn’t believe this had actually happened to him. And he owed it to his brother who had unwittingly unlocked the latent ability.

Jason found himself standing in front of the window, staring outside at the beauty of the landscaping which was lit by a multitude of large rocks infused with light energy. Some of them were clear crystals, some were amethyst that offered purple illumination, while the Larimer stones twinkled with an exquisite turquoise, and the prasiolite crystals imbued the night with green radiance. During the day, he hadn’t noticed them scattered throughout the yard but right now in the darkness it was a spectacular sight. Jason drew his hand away from the window, allowing the taupe curtain to fall back into place. His lips and chest tingled and there was a strange sensation of wrongness as though he possessed something that didn’t belong to him. He crossed the room and perched on the edge of his bed. He closed his eyes and tuned his psychic receptors to the affected parts of his body. After a moment, he identified the source of the problem. It was psychometric energy left behind when Monte had resuscitated him.

There wasn’t much because his friend always kept an active privacy field up and that prevented most of his emotions and thoughts from leaking out. Category six and five wizards didn’t exude much of this type of energy radiation which they often referred to as “junk energy” because most people contaminated their surroundings with the stuff practically every minute. When Jason fully submersed himself in his second sight, he could actually see the different energy imprints wafting from the people around him like smoke released from a lit candle. In a crowded room or in a busy public area, he was literally bombarded by stimuli unless he dulled his paranormal senses. As Jason scanned his room, he could perceive many different ancient enchantments woven intricately within the very walls of the house and others contained in the furniture. He returned his attention back to Monte’s psychometric energy. He decided he would remove these imprints since they hadn’t dissipated on their own.

He knew the theory behind this but until now, had never been able to perform this type of magic. Jason decided to focus on the psychic residue that clung to his lips like a second skin.
