Chapter 23

“We never stop learning, here.”

I might have missed what Gamila said between “worlds” and that.

“We’ll get you into a class,” she continued. “I have a feeling you’ll make a great teacher and a fine student. Perhaps a watcher, as well, once you discover your powers.”

“A watcher?”

“The supreme being grants certain immortals the power to care for others, those still on Earth, as a protector, of sorts.”

“Like a paranormal bodyguard.”

Gamila smiled. “Like a paranormal bodyguard.”

“Nice.”

“From what we know of your soul, Otto, Delphine feels your compassion and intelligence make you a prime candidate.”

“Wow. Already?” Shawn loved me after one date? Delphine thought I was awesome after just a few hours? I wasn’t just a dork. Maybe I was da bomb. “Thank you…I think.” I hadn’t read about watchers.

“It’s an honor,” Gamila said. “One of which you are worthy.”
