please. I feel so lost- I’m not very knowledgeable in Walker history.”
Hector rolls his eyes. “Just shut up, we’ll explain it later. Too much info at once and your brain might explode.”
“Nicholas.” Valus yells over the crowd of stunned Walkers. Allison looks between the two- Void and Walker. A hunter and his prey. Valus smiles as the crowd quiets down. The gaze he’s giving Nick gives Allison chills, and she finds herself feeling relieved that she’s not the one he’s after. Valus lets out a small laugh. “I look forward to fighting you, boy.” Valus sneers and holds his arms out wide.
The entire group of Void suddenly disappears, leaving behind a giant cloud of slowly fading purple smoke. Allison instantly finds herself surrounded by a crowd of Walkers yelling unintelligible things at each other. She calmly takes in her surroundings, and spots her father chatting with the other Council members. However, as she makes her way towards her father, he and the other Council members disappear in a puff of black smoke.
“They must be having an emergency meeting.” Isaac says from behind her. “We’ll just have to wait until they have an announcement ready for us.”
Allison clenches her fist, frustrated at all of the things that she doesn’t understand yet. “How can you expect me to just wait? I need to know what’s going on!”
Nick and Hector run over to Allison and Isaac. Nick shakes his head. “Things were just starting to make sense and then this happened. How much stuff do I need to learn before my head stops spinning?”
Isaac sighs. “I know that things are only getting more confusing for you Nick, I’m sorry for that. Let’s just all go back to the training room and then I’ll explain everything you need to know.” He sticks his hand out in front of him. Hector and Nick stack their hands on top of their captain’s, and then they all stare at the reluctant Allison.
She eyes Isaac suspiciously. “Promise you’ll tell us everything we want to know?”
Isaac nods in agreement. “Anything. Let’s just get going already.”
Allison gives in and places her hand on top her teammates. She was determined to get all of the answers she wanted. Whatever was happening with the Void, she needed to know. And she knew that she couldn’t rely on her father to figure things out out. She clenches her fist out of frustration.
And then the team slips into the shadow at their feet.
Chapter Six
Allison
Allison couldn’t keep all of her thoughts in check as she emerged into the training room. Isaac walks directly to the Pathfinder, stopping only a few inches away from the clear crystal ball.
“Come here Nick.” He commands. Nick jogs over to their captain. He still looked dazed from their encounter with the Void only moments ago. Isaac holds his hand up and locks eyes with Nick. “The Pathfinder itself was made using Shadow Walker powers in order to determine other Walkers powers before they’re naturally unlocked. But how do you think that us Walkers actually use our powers?”
Nick stares at the ground. Allison was really starting to feel bad for the kid. Being thrown into this world with absolutely no knowledge had to be stressful. Her teammate shakes his head. “You cast spells or something. How should I know.”
Isaac grins. “Not quite. You see, our powers are just another part of our being. When you run for a while, your legs get tired, right? Well using our powers also drains us, but not in the same way. Using Walker powers drains the spirit- our soul. Because of this, a Walker’s strength is measured by how strong their soul is. One’s will to live, their determination, or even their desire to fight for what they believe in- these are the things that measure a Walker’s strength.”
“So I’m going to use my soul?” Nick asks doubtfully. “What’s next, an exorcism?”
Isaac sighs, obviously as tired of explaining as Allison was of
