Old Acquaintances

Varian knew he was a bit more eager than other people for strength. A bit more hungry for improvement. A bit more thirsty for breakthroughs.

'I'm just a bit different,' He would tell himself through the back breaking training sessions throughout his childhood.

"I'm just a bit different," Varian explained to Enigma when she tried to stop him from immediately seeking another battle.

"You…"

The words brought unleashed a truck of memories.

Nights where Varian would collapse on the cold, hard floor after a torturous training session until Sia found him.

Vacations that turned into opportunities for joining free training camps by esteemed awakener organizations.

Weeks that went by with the same routine every single day.

Enigma parted her lips and looked at Varian in silence.
