" 'Dear God' what?" Celina asked, not used to having people not used to her doing stuff like that.

"Are you human?" he asks.

"Um....I think I am." Celina said, thinking about it.

"Then how can you do that? And do you have enough control of it? If not, you either go somewhere with no one around until you're sure you're okay, or you do what I did and take the easy road: you put your power under the soul seal of another person. A contractor, that is."

"Ah, and for you, that person is Corliss?" Celina asked, lifting the boulder again.

"Yes...keep that thing away, would you?" he says. "See the watch? we both tied our power to it. I cant use my full strength unless Corliss opens the seal, and every time she does, it shortens her lifespan. And since our souls are now connected, if one of us dies, the othe rone will die as well. Useful, but very dangerous. And it's not a garentee. As you saw earlier, I was still able to use enough of my power to hurt Corliss before, when she got me all mad."

Celina nodded her head. "Yeah....kind of like me and my kingdom...." she said silently, wondering if they heard her or not.

"Your what?" Socrates asked, looking concerned. He no longer looked like a child. He now looked mumore mature, kind, and (dare I say it?) handsome.
"Well, the point is, we gotta be careful. If one of us suffers, both our souls pay the price." Corliss says, sounding more sober and solomn than she ever had.

"My kingdom, Socrates. Nosy." Celina said, smiling.

"An entire kingdom acting as a seal for something? Rather conspicuous, don't you think?"

"Well, if something happens to me, my kingdom falls. If something happens to my kingdom, I feel the toll it takes. Complicated, I guess." Celina said as she broke the boulder into more rocks.

"So it's more of a metaphore, then?"

"Um, sure, I guess." Celin said, throwing rocks at stuff and once again almost hit her head with a rock.

"Would you stop that before you hurt any of us?" Socrates grumbles.
"I wish I could do that," Corliss says with the dreamy tone most girls use when they're thinking of a special boy. Corliss, however, wears it when she's thinking of a new method of trouble making.

"Sorry, oh grumpy one." Celina giggled as she set the rocks down.
