and are now a student. Tell me, have you ever done anything spectacular or out of the ordinary, something that science couldn’t explain?”
“Well, I am here talking to a mad scientist after single handedly fighting off a vampire with nothing but chewing gum, that has to count for something”. I said trying to mimic his no nonsense tone.
“Ah a comedian, I assume that was supposed to be funny. No matter, I am sure once your training starts you will see less humor, now answer my question Mr. Price, I am beginning to lose my patience”. He said with his body posture changing, letting me know he was serious.
“I have no powers that I know of Sir”. I said, deciding not to press my luck.
“Well perhaps they will manifest later”. He said “Mr. Price there are exactly 199 empowered people on this planet, wizards as we are known. Do not think all that nonsense about a wand and spells and the like, think more along the lines of comic books super heroes. Now as for the number 199, I am not sure why that is, I only know there has never been more wizards than that since I have been alive. A wizard normally gains his powers at puberty and keeps them until they are the ripe old age of 25. The trait is passed down among bloodlines and wizards are normally an only child, something that else I have no explanation for. With my viewer I can pick out who is empowered at birth, and normally the child goes missing early in life, only to turn up later or miraculously escape their captor or anything else I can come up with after they are an adult. Some wizards’ powers are not as great or as apparent as others, I for one had super intelligence, something I did not know how to exploit until my twenties. The children who leave here always take on a government job or some type of media job, ensuring all of our secrets stay safe. Failure to keep things to yourself normally means death for all involved; the person who told and the people they tell with close friends and family thrown in for good measure. The only non-powered people who know of our existence are people who themselves were former wizards, very high ranking government officials, certain military teams and of course the President who we answer directly to. But I am rambling, the fact is I do not know where you fit in, but I will not rest until I do. I must take leave of you now, another student will be in here shortly to show you around. If you have not noticed you are quite naked under that blanket, I suggest you put on your clothes before she enters. Good day Mr. Price.”
I had no chance to be horrified that the little blondie may have saw more of me than I liked, so I hurried and put on my clothes. I had no idea why they had to strip everything off of me to see that I was okay, I figured maybe they were perverts. Just as I finished getting dressed, in walked what was the biggest girl I have ever seen.
CHAPTER 6
Meet The Gang
When I say this girl was big, I am talking as an WNBA player mixed with WWE big. She was at least 6’5 from what I saw and very muscular. She had tan skin, I figured she looked Middle Eastern and she was very hairy. When I say hairy I don’t mean she hand a full beard, but she definitely had the chickstache going. Her hairline appeared almost to her eyebrows and she had sideburns. She also had huge ‘assets’ going for her and was pretty hot for a fur covered amazon. Without even asking, I figured she had to be a werewolf.
“You must be the new guy, I am Khatara” she said holding out her hand.
Now this was one of the only times a girl had actually spoken to me and was real nice about it, so I was a little shocked. I shook her hand and held on too it a little too long. Her hand didn’t feel what I thought a girls’ hand should feel like, hers was rough and calloused. I figured it must be from all that gym work. I must have made her a little bit uncomfortable because she stared at me kind of
