Supernatural

Hazel frowned, "i am human" she repeated and Melvin sighed, 'that's what you think" he said "I know a supernatural creature when I see one, especially a creature like me" he added and Hazel's frown deepened, she looked at her milky white hands and turned to Melvin, "what am I then?" she asked "a lythrix" Melvin replied and suddenly took the form of an owl, she flinched and suddenly realised something, "you are the owl, the one who led me here" she said and Melvin morphed back to his boyish self, "that's one of the abilities of a lythrix, lythrix are formidable, shape-shifting creature capable of transforming into an animal form at will. Their morphing abilities allows them to adapt and survive in any environment, making them a versatile beign, In addition to their transformative ability, lythrix possesses the ability to generate extraordinary energy bursts. These explosive discharges can be unleashed at a moment's notice, releasing a concentrated blast of energy that can shatter obstacles, stun adversaries, and even manipulate the surrounding environment, lythrix's power bursts are a testament to its remarkable resilience and strength, making it a force to be reckoned within any realm. Its unique blend of adaptability, energy manipulation of raw power makes lythrix a formidable creature, in addition lythrix have long life spans, though not as long as vampires but longer than many other creatures" Melvin explained, "I possess none of what you just explained" Hazel said "you are still young and growing, you would get your abilities when it's time" Melvin said and sighed "unfortunately every surviving lythrix has been wiped out by witches except the both of us, it's a miracle that a lythrix is in this part of the world and a young one" he added Hazel said nothing, she suddenly switched from being human to a lythrix overnight, "you are a boy aren't you?, how come you have the abilities" Hazel asked and Melvin smiled, "actually I am not young, I am over a hundred years old, I should have the physique of a man but because of my frequent dealings with spells I got my self the physique of a boy" he said and Hazel stared at him in surprise, he looked like a fourteen or sixteen years old boy, "I actually got my ability when I was very young, at age eighteen, but what aided the development in my ability was the presence of other lythrix" Melvin added "I am nineteen, do you think my ability would appear anytime soon?" Hazel asked "probably, it depends on your will" Melvin said and Hazel went silent, "the young master approves your freedom, you can leave the estate but I must remind you, never come back" Melvin said as he presented her dagger, lantern and viel and a bright smile crawled to Hazel's face, she picked her things and gleefully thanked Melvin, but as soon as she turned she almost bumped into Ezra, immediately she stepped back in horror and Ezra scoffed, "coward" he muttered and strolled off while Hazel frowned but said nothing instead she dashed out of the room, running as fast as her legs could carry her out of the house but she didn't forget to grab something, an artifact just by the stairs, a vase, but no one noticed anything, she was a thief as a human or a lythrix, she was still a thief.

In front of Hazel's cottage, Gabriel paced up and down as he waited anxiously for Hazel's arrival, he couldn't believe she actually went to the estate of death, "what if she was dead" he thought but he decided not to believe something of such would happen, it was almost afternoon and he was getting very anxious, just then a figure jumped down the roof of the house just close by and he flinched in shock, "Hazel!!!" he cried in excitement and rushed to hug her but she dodged him, "stay away from me till I have taken a bath, just sit here I would come out to you when I am done " she said, indeed she looked very dirty, unkempt and tired, sluggishly she strolled into the house and Gabriel obediently waited in front of the house. The time ticked by and she finally walked out of the house already clean and refreshed, she was dressed in a orange coloured gown and a brown woolen sweater, she sat with a glum expression beside Gabriel and the latter looked at her anxiously, she looked like she had lost a lot of weight in just one night, "are you okay, are you hurt any.." "calm down, I am fine, just a little tired, the stupid trees I marked before venturing into the estate had none of my markings and it caused me a lot of stress" she said and Gabriel sighed a little relieved, "so what happened at the estate, how did it go" Gabriel asked and Hazel frowned as she remembered what happened "Ezra is alive and he his a very big blood sucking bastard" she muttered with anger visible in her voice, and Gabriel frowned in confusion "blood sucking?" he repeated and Hazel calmed herself immediately "it's nothing, he his just crazy and evil, I almost got killed by him and his stupid beastly pets" she said and Gabriel dropped it "so you weren't able to get anything?" he asked and she smiled, she placed her sack on her laps and revealed a perfectly moulded vase which had beautiful paintings and carvings on its body, " this is the vase of Neptune" she said to the clueless Gabriel "I came across it in a book at webby's antic store and it's a very special artifact, if I sold this do you know how much I would get?, thousands of gold coin enough to help as many orphans as possible" Hazel said and Gabriel smiled "that's a good thing, are you going to sell it to a stupid person?" he asked and she frowned "no, this isn't fake, I am going to take to the auction house to get it auctioned on Friday" she said and sighed in satisfaction "it's worth the trip" she said as she put it back in the sack and tied it up, "do you have any coins, I am very hungry, I wasn't even offered food at the estate" she grumbled and Gabriel smiled, who was going to offer a thief food, even the kindest person wouldn't not to talk of a devil, "I have a few coins left after giving the Thomas siblings the money for their cinema and paying my sister's medical expenses, here I have approximately thirty gold coins" Gabriel said and Hazel smiled happily, "let's go to Sunny's, to eat and see Fiona" she cried and Gabriel blushed
