85 Special Abilities and Departure

When they got back home Lachlan made sure to analyse Sarah, to see if she had the same thing happen to her.

Lachlan had a sigh of relief when he saw that Sarah experienced the same thing. It only took up one soul slot, meaning that siblings can be put together.

Lachlan took care of the children for the rest of the day with the help of Zhang. Lachlan was beginning to realise the usefulness of cooking knowledge, he would probably take along some cookbooks for when he leaves to the island. Lachlan already knew how to use a knife pretty well thanks to his sleight of hand tricks.

Zhang also showed some rather knife skills. Turns out he was a cook back when he was in high school.

After relaxing for the day the rest of the group finally burst through the door exhausted. Today they finished explaining everything to the rest of the Blooded Wings members. Lachlan let them rest of a bit before coming over the tell them the information.

"So, I know you're all very tired, but I have some rather valuable information I'm not sure if you all knew yet," The group began to listen in, if it had to do with information coming from Lachlan there's no doubt it should be good.

"Every beast has a special ability and no, I don't mean the elemental control but a literal special ability they can only use a certain number of times a day," They were stunned but also annoyed at how they only found out now.

"How do we use them?" Simon asked. He was eager to find out what his beasts can do, he was hoping it would be something amazing.

"Just tell your beasts to use it, they should know how to do it since it's like something that was planted in their brain since birth. Also, I will say this before you go out and try. It takes 3 adolescence, 2 adults or 1 elder beast to use the move," After he finished explaining everyone went outside to try it out, even if their bodies were exhausted.

"Wait!" Lachlan shouted, "These special abilities are usually large, so go far away to use them as we don't want our houses getting destroyed".

Knowing that they quickly dispersed in other directions away from the main base. Once they were roughly 10 kilometres away they summoned their beasts and let them go all out. Simon was the most eager and wasn't disappointed, all three of his beasts were offensive, as such, they have offensive type moves.

Lachlan then realised the names might also have a heavy impact on special abilities.

Storm, which was a Storm Eagle was able to summon and rather destructive storm. The rain almost seemed like blades themselves, doing heavy damage on the surroundings.

Tornado, which was a Sandstorm Owl that brought upon a massive sandstorm to its vicinity. However, usual sandstorms would only bring upon a large amount of sand and dust. Tornado's sandstorm also formed rocks the size of a person's head, the sandstorm was flinging them around at high velocity.

Then finally there was Hurricane, which was a Hurricane Eagle. Just like the name entails, a hurricane was formed, it was fairly destructive but definitely the weakest ability amongst the three. After hearing about it form Simon, Lachlan realised that their bird's special abilities might work better as a combo.

As for Chloe and her four crocodiles, the special ability they had was roughly the same for all of them. Their abilities heavily affected the water, creating space surrounding them that they had complete control over. However, once outside the water the effect was heavily reduced, it still worked due to the moisture within the air, but that moisture is nothing compared to rivers or oceans.

Georgia's Dark Eagle King, Kyle. Had the ability to bring other beasts into what seemed like another world. Lachlan had her use the move on him, he was brought down into the shadows. He had been surrounded by complete darkness, he felt like he was floating in space, with no way of moving. Kyle, on the other hand, is able to fly freely within the darkness, attacking whatever they caught however it wants. It's an extremely useful move against intelligent beasts.

Joe's Desert Dog, Sandy was able to change its environment. It changed it to a desert, one where the heat was well beyond 500 degrees Celsius, completely vaporising the river water that was inside the change. Fortunately, it seems the special abilities don't affect their masters, meaning that Joe didn't burn to death.

Unfortunately for Zoe, two of her three tamed beasts were still adults and she didn't have two of each, meaning she couldn't get them to use the special abilities. However, for the one that was an elder, when it used its special ability nothing happened, no environmental changes, no noticeable barriers or anything. She came back dejected after seeing that her only hope wasn't able to use a special ability.

Phoebe's turtles Joy and Faith were both able to form barriers. Faith's barrier was obviously stronger as it had bits of iron in, while Joy's was just entirely formed by water. She was ecstatic that she was able to protect her friends even better now.

Dylan's snake Fast was still an adult, as such, isn't able to do any special moves. Which did make him feel rather disappointed, but he knew that it'll reach the Elder age later.

Just like Dylan, Brianna also only had adult beasts. She thought she might be able to get them to use the special move anyway due to their strength. But unfortunately, that's not how the special moves work.

Then there was Zhang, none of his beasts were elders and they were all different. However, Lachlan comforted with the knowledge that one of his beasts will be becoming an elder in one year. Zhang was rather excited after that.

Finally, it was Lachlan's turn to see Temp's special ability. Since he forgot he never got Temp to use it.

When he got Temp to use it nothing happened. But Lachlan didn't think that, he thought there might be a special barrier of some sorts, just something. However, after searching for a bit he couldn't find anything, he was rather disappointed at that. He kept trying but soon after Temp got tired from using its ability. Lachlan could only return back to the house disappointed.

Now that the issues been settled it was time for Lachlan to go. He decided he would leave in the morning, after giving all his goodbyes.

That night Lachlan was rather restless, he had to leave tomorrow and train. He didn't know why, but ever since he left the island he had the desire to train his body. But nothing can give him the pressure he needs to improve.

The next morning Lachlan waited for everyone to wake up to say his goodbyes. All of them were happy Lachlan was doing what he wants, all of them except Sarah who had rivers of tears pouring out her eyes.

"It's okay, I'm not dying. And remember, you won't be lonely no matter where you are," Lachlan said calmly as he held onto Sarah, pointing towards the tattoos.

Sarah tried to appear brave, she stopped crying and wiped the tears from her face. She hugged Lachlan tightly, trying to never let go. This time, Lachlan could feel it. He was happy she's got stronger due to the salamanders.

After that he walked outside, summoned catastrophe and flew away, giving a final wave goodbye. Sarah began crying again but this time she was able to stop it herself, she had some determination in her eyes. She wanted to impress her brother when he gets back.
