13: I am pretty sure, I know a thing or two about meditating

Learning I had super strength has been the most surprising thing to me this week.

I was told This gift is so rare. The last time someone had it was almost a century ago.

The fold is quite old and secretive, their numbers although fewer than what is expected of a group that old. They have been through a lot of tough times trying to recruit gifted people and potential gifted persons and they have lost some members like Marcus during my mom's recruitment. They aim to give the gifted a chance at life to the gifted without being coveted or hunted by powerful individuals or groups.

I have heard a lot of chilling stories of their history, and what a lot of these powerful individuals did

Of all the tall and huge men living on kajun island. I, 5:8 Zenith is the strongest if comparing Physical strength alone well that is a weird one. But then again it's the Zenith way

Standing in Infront of Two huge tires I had stacked together. My instructor Kane secured the final belt in place.

Get ready, Pull

I start to pull the tires easily as if going for a walk.

We are working on your endurance every day for the next two weeks. Today, you can move at any pace you want but you must circuit this field 20 times before we leave here today.

20 times! Don't you think that is a bit much?

You have 1 hour. Failure to finish this in an hour will have you lifting weights in the rain tonight.

Weights I can handle, playing in the rain I can handle, but lifting weights in the rain at night! one word *Brrr*

I focus on the task at hand, after all, it's easy.

15 circuits later

This is not easy at all.

Haaa

I force my breathing out my nose. My body straining with the effort to pull the tires. And I am barely moving the tires.

Ahhhh

I try to muster the energy to get going.

12 minutes remaining.

This is so difficult, it can't be done.

Keep slagging around complaining and you might as well spend your night lifting weights in the rain. And Isaiah has already predicted it will be heavy tonight. Oh Isaiah, our resident gifted weather man.

As if renewed by the threat, I pull anew. Trying to get the telepathy gift had taught me the value of sleep which I took for granted in the past. I keep pulling, my worn sneakers digging into the grass.

Ahhhh

16 circuits

17

18

18 and half.

Time's up

Dammit,

I collapse to my knees, I would have collapsed face down if not Kane for some reason tied the harness too short.

I was almost close.

Almost but not quite there.

Zenith to be able to wield your power efficiently and grow it, even more, you have to practice and put it to use every chance you get. Increasing your tolerance limit each time you meet it.

Now come, I need to show you something.

I am going to spend my night in the rain. I pout

Hahaha, Because today is your first day, I am going to let you off with 30 minutes lifting weights in the rain. Immediately his face turns serious, do not for a moment think that is how it will be next time. You do not finish within the time frame, you lift weights all night in the rain and if there is no rain, I will have Isaiah make rain till he is exhausted.

Okay! Sheesh. You don't need to scare me further, I am already threatened.

He shakes his head as we walk in silence. Getting to a route that seems shrouded by large leaves, he pushes them aside as we keep walking.

Where are we going?

You will find out when we get there.

Finally, the last leave is out of place and I suck in a breath.

Wow

This place is beautiful! Why haven't I come here since I have been here?

You hadn't gotten your powers then.

I look around in wonder, this place is a paradise. The water is so blue, the trees tall, and white, and the rocks placed strategically to enhance its beauty. The waterfall, oh the waterfall, flowed peacefully. Everything about this place radiated peace. I see some of the gifted in the water in various poses, some standing, some seating, and some seated cross-legged. There is a lady with Amber coloured hair seated on the Rock, breathing deeply.

Wow.

Zane allows me to stare around in wonder for a while before pulling me along with him. We get to a cave entrance. Entering it, I see several doors lining up the corridor. We enter one of the rooms.

And my God, take a look at those carvings and designs. Someone had carved the walls with beautiful art. A big red gemstone was placed on the wall with circular carvings placed underneath it. There was an intricately designed chair made from the cave itself and it seemed to be attached to the cave itself.

Wow.

One of our ancestors was gifted with the ability to bend rocks to his will, he also was an artist. He created this channel of caves. Beautiful isn't it?

absolutely

To the reason why we are here. When we get our powers, we come here to meditate after training to consolidate the increase in our powers. The gem which you see placed on the wall has the ability to help you, sometimes even boost your power, but that is not a common occurrence.

I see, so I have to seat in that chair or lie in that pretty bed made of stone and sing Kumbaya. Sure no big deal. I got this meditating thing down to the T

He looks at me funny. Kumbaya? Really? Is that what you think Medi... forcing a breath out. I am going about this the wrong way. Have you ever meditated before?

Well no. But how hard can it be?

He rubs his forehead.

We have a lot to do
