to have to grin and bear it. He would figure everything out soon enough.
Ethan realized that he had been sitting in silence for nearly a minute, and just as he was opening his mouth to reply to Phoebe, the door to his room burst open and two boys walked in. Two identical boys. They were no older than Ethan was; he was positive of that. Sebastian had said his two roommates would start training with him in a few days, so he figured this was them. They both had medium-length, dark honey blond hair, forest green eyes, and they were both the same height and build. The only visible differences between the two of them were their clothes and the tattoos situated between their wrists and elbows on their right arms. Ethan recognized these tattoos at once. They weren’t exactly like the ones his parents had—the animals were different—but they were in the same spot on their arm, and they both had accompanying rings around their wrists.
Upon realizing they had guests, both boys’ faces lit up, and they flashed friendly smiles. They stepped into the sitting room, and Ethan stood up to meet them. Phoebe looked slightly intimidated, or awestruck, or something else. Whatever it was, it had frozen her in her seat.
“Hello,” the first boy said, sticking out his hand. “You must be our new roommate. They said you would be coming today, big day as it is. I’m Evan Ward, and this is Jared,” he said, indicating his brother. Ethan shook his hand as he turned his attention to Phoebe. She seemed to shrink back into her seat. “Hello, nice to meet you!”
The boy turned his hand to her, and she flushed but shook it lightly.
“I’m Ethan and this is Phoebe. It’s nice to meet you too!” Ethan said, introducing them, as Phoebe seemed to have lost her voice.
Both boys turned their eyes toward Ethan. They both looked shocked. It was almost comical.
“You mean the Ethan and Phoebe? The Masters of Earth and Water? I mean, we knew you were coming today, but we missed the arrival. I never would have thought you would have turned up in our room!” The second boy, Jared, had still not said anything.
Phoebe seemed to find her voice again. “Well, that’s what everyone keeps telling us, but really, we’re nothing special.”
Evan laughed. “Are you kidding me? Nothing special? I’m thinking about asking for an autograph right now! Two Masters, right in our room. One of them our roommate! I haven’t even seen Dorian up close! Wow.”
Phoebe blushed again, and Ethan felt highly uncomfortable. Jared took his turn to shake each of their hands. He shook hands with Phoebe first and then turned to Ethan.
“You two are very powerful,” he said.
He and Evan settled down into chairs in the sitting room. Evan sat on the couch situated next to Phoebe’s chair, and Jared sat in the one next to Ethan.
“How do you know?” he asked.
“That’s his talent,” Evan explained. He was clearly more outgoing than his twin. “He’s a Sensor; he can tell what someone’s talents and level are by touch. He’s also part of the First Order of the Earth Element.”
“Does that mean you know what our talents are?” Phoebe asked Jared.
Good question. “Normally I would be able to, yes, but the two of you have so many that I can’t tell specifically. I can only tell you that you have a lot of power.” He sounded intimidated.
That was slightly disappointing. “What are your powers?” Ethan asked. Evan was smiling happily, clearly nonchalant about the newcomers’ presence, like they were just other normal people in the room.
“I am in the First Order of the Water Element, and am also going to be training with the elves. I’m hoping that Jared here will join me. It might be something we can actually have in common. Aside from being twins, we don’t really have much else to share over tea and biscuits,” Evan said, laughing. Apparently he was also the more good natured of the two.
“First Order?” Phoebe asked.
