I chose to leave it alone since she had only sed guns without just stealing one of miright.

  "And this not so little beauty is my dragon egg!" I said excitedly showing off the egg once we got to that part of the tour.

  "Really or are you just fug with me?" she asked suspicious.

  "No tricks here, one hundred pert a dragon or well at least as close as I get to one in here." I said with a grin while resting my hand on the egg.

  "The hells that mean?" she asked fused.

  "Ah well it wasn't inally a dragon but I've been stuffing all sorts of good traits into this thing in order to turn it into oo be ho I'm not sure how close to the real thing this will turn out to be but at the very least it will LOOK the part, fire breathing and all." I said proudly.

  "Wait you GIVE traits to people!?" she excimed in shock.

  "Well I'm irely clear on that point actually. See if it's still developing like this egg then yes I totally load it up like a bowl of nachos, all the fixins. Frown things like people though I haven't had the oppurtunity to test that theory yet so I may or may not be able to do so. Though I give out lifeforce if I want." I said holy.

  "And what happens if you do give out lifeforce?" she asked very ied in the answer.

  "They get better I guess? Like I know it makes them stronger but for exact details? Who the fuows." I say with a shrug.

  "Free upgrade, sighe hell up!" she said eagerly grabbing my hand as if that would automatically give her my lifeforce.

  "As nice as it is to hold hands, no. First off it's NOT free since I have to spend the lifeford sed you don't need an upgrade, siren remember?" I said firmly.

  "Ah e on please! You 't just tease me with something like that and not give it to me!" she said with her best puppy dog eyes.

  "Adorable but my answer is the same." I said shaking my head.

  She pouted cutely but didn't push the issue. I showed her my crafting room after that and she admitted that she couldn't care less about it since she wasn't meically ined. The teleporter room though, THAT got her going.

  "So you go literally anywhere in the universe in an instant so long as you've been there before?" she asked with wide eyes.

  "That is roughly what I just said yes." I said with grin.

  "You are like the best smuggler ever with this!" she said excitably reag for the trol panel which I had to stop her from messing with.

  "I haven't marked Athenas yet so don't go messing with the teleporter, I still have stuff to do here." I chided her.

  She shrugged "'t bme a girl for beied." She said unapologetically.

  The tour was over at that point and other than py a few rounds of air hockey that I won the majority of she left. I myself just grabbed the ome from a bookshelf and brought it baside my house to be read. Well to be more specifically I digitized it to my iory and copied it's tents before returning it to the shelf and moving to the ome. Much as I enjoy a good book about a topic I am ied in there was no way in hell I was going to be able to read all these books in four months.-

  With this in mind I briefly sed the tents of the books and if it was something random I copied it and put the physical copy ba the shelf. If it was something iing I set it aside to be read physically like the book written by Dido. I spent the wo weeks doing this before I got through every piece of the archives. Maya came to visit everyday but I had a sneaking suspi she was just using me for my food maker thing.-

  Not to say she didn't hang out for a bit or anything like that but she had this timing where she'd suggest food at the same time everyday even if she had been hanging about for hours at that point. She also made things very unfortable for my hormonal teen self by using my sim training room and ing out all sweaty and flustered. Fun fact about humans was that we like many animals could pick up the st of a female ihough we are unaware of it most of the time.-

  Thanks to my very sensitive senses I was VERY fug aware of Maya whe that time of the month. I was going through puberty again a me tell you that shit sucked when you had someone like Maya around. I hit a growth spurt during one of these days that left her and myself speechless as one sed I was just chilling and the my tattoos started glowing and I gained four inches of height in a short period of time while losing five hundred units of lifeforce.-

  Not having to deal with weeks of growing pains was nid all but it was really fug disorienting to gain a random four inches of height out of seemingly nowhere. Still the fact my powers worked like this had me curious if the inal holder "Darwin" was a young child whe his powers or if this was just something that was there without iionally being there? Anyways out of the entire archive there was only fifteen books that I ended up reading the physical copy of. The first was naturally the book written by Dido and the sed was as well though it was more a diary or research journal about her powers.-

  (Book narration)

  I acquired my powers from the previous user, my adoptive mother, after nearly five years of apprenticeship under her. She was an older woman who ruled over Athenas before I myself would i that position along with her powers. She had fallen ill and had only a st few years left upon my adoption that she used to teach me all I would o know upon her passing. She old me how but she said she adopted me because she knew I would succeed her. -

  My power knohaselock worked by principle of "targeting" and "trol". I designated a target and my powers subjected it to my trol via an orb of energy. Through this trol I could manipute space, time, gravity and other fual forces of the universe on a miniscule scale tered around the target. There was a caveat however to my power that offered a serious limitation to my use of it. Any living thing subjected to my power could either resist it's effects or ht shrug them off it it owerful enough.-

  The more resistance I faced and the rger the target the more energy it e to use my power on it for more than a few moments. With practid my mothers teags to guide me I eventually learned how tet and trol multiple things simultaneously. Oter of the alien substanown as "Eridium" I learnt from my mother that our powers disallowed us to absorb the material without a special method that her predecesseions back had developed. The reason for this inability to simply absorb it like most sirens was I believe due to the proje nature of our powers.-

  Our powers sent energy outward and had no intake feature to it in it's base usage thus leaving us uo enhance our powers using the material. The teique to use the material was in fact merely a creative usage of our power to encapsute the Eridium as a target and use our trol to break it down into pure energy that was then released into our bodies. It took a great deal of trol and focus but the pay off was that it gave us a massive , borderline qualitative boost to our powers.-

  The rest of the book spoke of the ways she used her powers and even spoke of the special vault that could only be opened by a siren wielding the Phaselock power and using Eridium. Fasating as that was the real kicker was that apparently a previous user of Maya's powers actually somehow tied the powers to the p which meant that every user would at some point e to live there. How they aplished this wasn't expined beyond that it killed them to aplish which was a steep price to pay but I suppose worth it with how long the rule over the phey had sted.-

  It was only during Didn that the ior of the power arrived AFTER she passed away which meant she never got the ce to teach them herself ahe ruling line going. Ironically Maya was still in a fashion ruling the p since she was what the monks used to keep the popution uheir thumb or used to before I showed up. Now days Maya spent most of her days either dying her hair bright colors(she artial to blue apparently) or setting things right with the local popution.-

  Unfortunately few chose to stay ohey learhat she was not in fact going to kill them with her powers if they tried to leave. Some did of course but the monks had done a damn fine job making Maya out to be the Krampus, the boogieman and god all ed up in a nieat package that traumatized the citizens, belief was a funny thing like that, tagious. The Bluee was a little disheartened by this mass exodus but it only made her more determio fix this situation. The monks REALLY didn't like me right now if it wasn't obvious but sihey swore oaths of nonvioleheir hands were metaphorically tied.-

  "You know you could just tell them to fuck ht?" I said when Maya came to pin about the monks pints against me.

  "You could stop antagonizing them at least and leave the archives so that others could have a turn." she said and I scoffed.

  "You act like I'm stopping them or something. They are as free to ehis pce as they ever have been, they are just too big of a pussy to do so." I said disdainfully.
