Chapter 12

The group all began talking at once, and I chuckled a bit as I raised my hands.

“One at a time,” I said as I turned to the purple-furred fox-monkey-man “Zoru, I think you asked first.”

“What is the new ability?” he asked.

“It’s called Empathetic Precognition, but I have no idea what it does. It’s level one right now, but it definitely popped into my Eye-Q just when I hit level six with Tame, but that’s not what I wanted to talk to you all about.”

“Empathetic Precognition?” Quwaru gasped. “My ability is called Empathetic Thoughts! Do you think they are similar?”

“I’m not sure.” I shrugged. “Precognition means to like… hmmm… see the future? I guess. It’s like something that oracles in legends do. Or like psychics.”

Half of the women gave me blank stares, and I laughed a bit as I tried to figure out a better way to explain it.

“Is it when you feel as if you are going to have a really good day, and then you do?” Galmine asked with her usual sweet smile. “That sounds like a good ability, Victor.”

“Not quite like that,” I chuckled. “Uhhh, more like when you predict that something is going to happen.”

“You have often done this,” Sheela said, and the rest of the women turned to her.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“You seem to know things are happening before they do.” Sheela shrugged. “You built the fort to keep us safe from the orange birds. Then you built a larger fort to keep us safe from the black raptors. You tamed the dinosaurs when we needed it, and you knew we needed to leave our old fort.”

“I don’t think that’s any special ability,” I said as I tapped my chin. “Well, the dinosaur stuff is obviously Tame, but the rest of it is just trying to survive and getting lucky.”

“Pfft!” Trel gagged. “Dear Victor, you aren’t just ‘lucky.’ Ewww. You are obviously a genius. Great minds like ours get things done, it is not luck or this telling-the-future-like crazy people things.”

“It is more than that, though.” Sheela shrugged again and then turned to look at me across the fire. “I will show you sometime tomorrow. I have seen you do things that are… interesting. I think I know what this power is.”

“Okay, we can talk about it tomorrow,” I said.

“You wanted to say how we could, uhhh, ‘level’ our abilities quicker?” Youleena asked as she raised a white eyebrow. “I would like to increase my Stone Meld so that I can help us build walls and structures quicker.”

“I would also like to Water Bless quicker!” Keefaye blurted out as she raised her hand.

“It would be nice to use Lance a bunch more,” Kacerie said. “If I could have done six, then we could have easily dealt with those men chasing your friend.”

Everyone else chimed in, and I had to wave my hands a bit to get them to settle down.

“I was thinking that it’s not just ‘using’ the ability more,” I started. “If it was, then Sheela would have leveled up her Critical Strike a bunch already.
