revelation! “Are the
Diamond Bearers immortal, Maetha?”
“No, we could be killed if we stopped
paying attention to our surroundings and future constantly. When
you had the whole stone on your chest didn’t you feel the power of
awareness flowing through you?”
“Yes, I spoke telepathically with
Chris and had a vision of my own future. It was at that point I
realized I wasn’t going to die through all of it.”
“I placed the diamond in the pouch for
protection from Freedom. I’d envisioned the capture of the stone
and realized I needed to protect it from Freedom’s awareness. He
set the situation in motion two hundred years ago when he taught
the Death Clan how to feel inside the body and how to manipulate
healthy tissue. Prior to that incident, he’d sided with a different
group of Healers teaching them how to pull the life essence from
people.”
“The Vampires?”
“They were referred to as such but
looked as normal as you or I. A diamond was harvested from a
Diamond Bearer and one of your relatives was used in the same way
as you for the Death Clan. Some day you’ll meet him.”
I was excited to meet him along with
all the other Diamond Bearers. “So, Freedom has been running amok
for a while now?”
“Yes.”
“Why don’t you just read his mind or
look for his future and put a stop to him?”
“It doesn’t work that way with a
Diamond Bearer. Calli, you learned how to maneuver through
mind-block walls and shocked more than a few people. The Readers
were amazed the most by that. What you did was enter the mind in an
angled fashion different than regular mind readers use; of course
yours is different because your power source comes from the
diamond.”
“Can’t you break through his walls
like I did with the Readers?”
“You didn’t break through walls you
found the holes and gaps and entered through them. Imagine a game
of checkers. All the disks are placed on black squares and can only
move on black squares. You know the rules for checkers like when
you can jump or when you can’t; one of those rules is you always
move at an angle on the black squares, never on the red. Imagine
that you haven’t moved any of your checkers but your opponent is
trying to be kinged. He must get to the last row but is blocked and
cannot get through. If you got down at eye level to the game board,
your checkers would appear to be in a straight line, not a zig-zag
pattern. This is how a mind block is seen by Mind Readers; a
straight wall. But Diamond Bearers have the bird’s eye view and can
play on both the black and red squares. We are able to reach the
back row because everyone else only has blocks set up on the black
squares. We move diagonally on the red squares and enter through
the blocks. However, Diamond Bearers can set up blocks on their red
squares too, but not to keep the Mind Readers out, because they
can’t read our minds anyway, but to keep other Diamond Bearers
out.
“This is the reason I exercise extreme
caution when selecting a bearer. I need to be certain you’ll be a
good agent of nature before ever giving you the diamond. I know
once you have all the pieces of your stone and have learned how to
block completely I won’t be able to enter your mind. I, along with
the other Diamond Bearers, will be able to sense where you are at
all times but won’t be able to read your mind if you don’t want it
to be read. Freedom has found a way to prevent all communication
from the other Diamond Bearers. He has figured out how to be
‘invisible’ in a sense. We cannot track his location all of the
time. We cannot see his future either. The day he appeared to you,
he resurfaced momentarily. I bi-located to his location, outside
your mother’s clinic, and watched him communicate with you and then
turn and walk away.”
I was amazed to hear her say this.
“You were there? I didn’t see you.”
“I wasn’t there to be seen. I had a
fix on Freedom and I needed to follow him. My eyes held
