Chapter 204 - On The Way Back

"Hey, how can I use my new Cross faster?" Inquired Fuo impatiently. 

"How would I know that?" I replied with a disinterested shrug. 

"Because you were able to use all of yours immediately!" 

"Exactly, so I have no idea what it feels like to not be able to use them," I pointed out, but that just earned another glare from her, "Atticus should have more insight into it than I do. How did you learn to use your first Cross anyway?" 

"I just kept trying, I guess...oh, that reminds me, my Nightmare Gaze didn't work against the Were King. Atticus isn't sure why either."

Huh, come to think of it, I vaguely recall that. Maybe it was the Were King's eyes...you know how animal eyes are all glowy when you take a picture of them, if I remember right, that's because they have something in their eyes that reflects light and lets them see in the dark...I don't really understand the science behind it, so I'm not gonna bother trying to explain it to her...
