Times Square, New York City

Carolyn took her place on the balcony and watched the flood of tourists and city-goers moving around Times Square.

The lights were bright, illuminating the street as if it were daytime. Ads scrolled and flashed on screens larger than houses, with the latest dreams being pushed to the public. The whole thing made Carolyn miss her life as a mortal.

“It gets easier,” Feng Mian told her. He stood beside her, arms folded, eyes scanning the streets below.

They had been put on guard duty by Lupe and Jennie and told to watch the square for any sign of spectral activity. There were specters in place all around New York, watching out for any sign of the enemy. They weren’t sure what Jennie and Lupe thought was going to happen, but they were all on high alert.

“Thanks,” Carolyn replied. “But when?”

Feng Mian considered this. She wondered if she’d get a full answer, knowing the man was not exactly the world’s most comprehensive communicator.

“Soon. Time heals. You’ll see.” He smiled, a small thing she almost missed.

Carolyn nodded. Below them, the roads were choked with pedestrians. Tourists posed with cameras on the islands around the roads, and somewhere a musician was busking with his guitar.

Dotted among them all was a smattering of specters. These Feng Mian had named as neutrals, specters who had not picked an allegiance and simply haunted the city without any aim. It was strange seeing them floating through the crowd, some of them photobombing people’s pictures, while others simply wandered with melancholy expressions, possibly lamenting that they were specters.

Carolyn could sympathize with that.

Sensing Carolyn’s sadness, Feng Mian decided to distract her. “Do you want to learn to fight and use your abilities?”

Carolyn lifted her chin from where she’d been resting it on her arms on the railing and stood up straight. “You mean it?”

Feng Mian nodded. “Come, turn and bow.”

Carolyn did as she was asked. “Maybe I’m too small to be any good at fighting.”

Feng Mian shook his head. “Your energy is no longer just a part of who you are. No more skin and bone. You are pure energy. You must learn to feel it.”

Carolyn closed her eyes and tried to tune into her body. He was right; the whole of her body felt different. Whereas before she could feel her heartbeat and the warmth of her skin, now she felt as though she were made of water fighting to keep its shape.

Feng Mian continued. “Inside is your power. If you can learn to control it with your mind, then you unlock what you are capable of. Try.”

Carolyn took a deep breath and felt the cold energy moving around her. She forgot to hold her solidity and began sinking into the floor. Without thinking, she caught herself before she disappeared.

“I did it!” She placed her hands on the floor and pushed herself back to a standing position.

“You could always do it,” Feng Mian told her.

“But… It’s controlled.”

Feng Mian gave a rare grin. “This is the easy part.
