Olansaf 2 - Draft 1

Jace smiled at me.

We were sitting opposite each other on the old battlements that surrounded the edge of the town, and Jace was trying to explain how the building blocks of the universe work. But all I was understanding was basically, everything was my plasticine and my imagination was the mould.
“But you need the right amount of matter for the right transformation.” said Jace, tossing me a stone. “How much matter in that?” I looked at the stone for a microsecond.
“About.. 120 million?” I replied
“Not about, exactly. You didn’t just guess that, You knew it. try and squish the stone.”
So I did, and nothing happened. So I got mad and threw it down, imagining it bouncing up and turning into a rubber ball.
And it did just that. It flew out of my hand and within the time it took to blink, it had changed into one of those multi colored bouncy balls and was flying towards Jaces forehead. but I didn’t want to hurt Jace, so I imagined the matter around his head forming a perfect padded carbon steel helmet, black and shiny that perfectly mirrored his face. He made a small ‘ooft’ at the unexpected weight of it, so I made it lighter, a substance no one had ever seen before. Strong, light, and sheer black, that came apart at the will of the owner and flowed to their will.. I liked it so much I took a pile of rubbish and made myself some more. It flowed up my arm and onto my body, covering me perfectly. I held my hands out to feel the air around me and flicked my fingers down, and took off like a bird. I swooped around the town, over the glorious buildings and came to a running stop just behind Jace. He swirled into a defensive stance, then straightened as I flowed down my helmet.
“This is amazing!” I cried, “What else can I do?”
“You can take a break for a minute. Without being Initiated, it will drain your strength a lot. The next initiation is in four days, We’ll do it then. Right now, we ought to get back. C’mon.” He stretched out a hand, but I was having none of it. I had plenty of strength! So I flew up and behind him and picked him up, as easily as you would pick up a bag of sugar, then carried him back to the library where we tapped on the window until Ben leapt up over the stairs to open it. I hovered in and set Jace down in front of a shackled JayJay, back in her human form, and went through to the fridge, to find some food. While Jace forgave JayJay, I carefully examined her matter from the other room, but it didn’t help so I wandered through and looked at her, looking at what her matter was made into instead of how much matter was there. First I looked at the nerves and temporarily got rid of them, then I fixed the broken bone and muscles, and then added the nerves back. She gasped and I shook my head to clear the double vision and glanced up at Ben an Jace. Jace was looking at me curiously and Ben looked slightly freaked. I glanced back at JayJay.
“Is that better? It should be all fixed, I left no trace of the break and cleared broken bone out of the surrounding area. I’m sorry I broke it.” I murmured, examining her leg.
“It-it’s fine, thanks. I, um, I’m sorry I doubted you” JayJay stuttered back.
“Consider us even, ok?” I replied turning to Jace before she answered. “Why are you looking at me like that?” His answer was quick and simple, Yet it stumped me.
“Your eyes, they glowed bright black...”
