laughed. “Who says he did n’t? Don’t you see, Naero? They’re shunning you. It’s a terrible affront, a direct insult to your honor, you, and your Clan.”
    Naero chuckled and rest ed her hands on her hips. “I’m so hurt I could cry. So, if I’m being shunned by the pak, what are you and these other two doing here?”
    “ You know I don’t care what anyone thinks,” Gaviok said. “And Daiyana Fae and Arnall Blooding here are contraries, so they’re going to do just the opposite of whatever the rest of the group does. I find it both amusing, and rather refreshing.”
    Contraries, huh? Naero had heard about such people among the Spacer Clans, but never among Mystics. How did that work?
    She went up to them and offered her hand.
    “ Hello, I’m Naero Amashin Maeris, from Clan Maeris. Glad to meet you.”
    Both the male and the female smiled. Then they slipped around her to either side and turned their backs to her.
    “Good bye, Maeris Naero adept,” the female said. “It is a great unpleasure to meet you. I am not Daiyana of Clan Fae. Isn’t this weather wonderful?”
    Lighting shattered a tree up on the heights, and they were all getting soaked out in the open .
    “ Farewell, Maeris Naero adept,” the male added. “I take no happiness in our meeting. I am not Arnall of Clan Blooding. I have no intention whatsoever of sparring with you today, or pitting myself against you to learn any of your puny fighting secrets.”
    He came at her immediately, punches and kicks flashing. Naero gave ground, fighting off his combinations with effort.
    “Hold, hold!” Naero shouted.
    Arnall merely redoubled his attacks. He just missed her with a mind blast that Naero dodged.
    “Lay on…continue!” Naero shouted. Arnall immediately stopped sparring and went over to sit down by Daiyana.
    Gaviok came up to Naero. “See what I mean? Those two are fun.”
    “Yeah, fun and annoying. So, my friend. You’re an adept now, I see. In Chaos Wisdom, no less. How did your initiation go the first day?”
    “ Brilliant,” Gaviok said with great pleasure. “They attacked me with amazing skills and techniques I had never seen before. Then I chased them all over the arena until I had throttled everyone of them into an unconscious state. It was great fun. It took them a full day to recover, and I was immensely disappointed when they didn’t want to give it all another go.”
    Naero covered her mouth and struggled not to burst out laughing. She could just picture that.
    “ I do have one complaint,” he said. “The food here is sufficient, but the taste is not quite to my liking.”
    Gaviok seemed to relish fish head s, pickled bug guts, and other nasty stuff that would make most species hurl from just glancing at it. Of course normal food would leave him wanting.
    “ Master Vane is very impressed with my innate Chaos abilities, Naero. He says I’m such a natural, that he can’t wait to train me in every way possible. He said it is a terrible shame that I do not have the high enough capacity to develop a psyonic third eye.”
    Naero suddenly had a wild idea.
    She hadn’t used her biomancy quickening ability in a long while. What did they have to lose?
    Arnall and Daiyana ignored them and started sparring among themselves.
    Naero summoned her own third eye, linked with the psyonic centers in her mind. Then she mindlinked with Gaviok, studied his own psyonic source points, and let him experience what she could do with her third eye, through his mind and his abilities.
    After a few hours of practice together with their minds linked, Naero felt certain that she could awaken the same psyonic ability in Gaviok’s mind. She explained the modification process to him, and the slight risks involved.
    “ There may be some pain,” Naero said. “It might take you a while to adapt to it and fully make use of its abilities. Beyond that, I think the worst thing that would happen is nothing. Are you still game?”
    “ Of course,”
