《I'm A Krieger Harris》Chapter Eighteen

- Paige's POV -
When we get back to the house, I've already stopped crying because I've calmed down and I'm truly letting it go. I'm more concerned on why I'm having visions. I had a few before a long time ago but they've started to become more recent.
"Hey kiddos, what's wrong?" Mom asks when we walk in. "Oh nothing." I say. "Paige." Mom says. "All I'm gonna say is my parents knew that the accident was gonna happen. Or well, an accident was gonna happen." I say. "How?" She asks. "It's a long story." I say. "A long story I'm willing to listen to." "A long story I'm not willing to tell." I retort. "Paige how do you even know this?" Mom asks and I freeze up.
HOW DO I TELL HER ABOUT THE VISIONS?! Oh wait Paige, calm down she knows about the ones when you were younger.
Right.
"Uhm.... You know how I had visions when I was little. Of like the past?" I say quietly. "Yes... DID THEY COME BACK?!" She exclaims. "Did who comeback?" Mama asks when she walks into the living room. "Her visions." Mom says. "Oh sweetie." Mama says. "They've been more recent lately. Like every single time I pick an object up there's something from my past and it's just, I see it. I relive it." I say. "And this time, it wasn't me who I was reliving. I was air, in my parent's room before they died and they knew it was gonna happen. Just didn't know how and when. T- they were bad people." I say and we fall into a small silence. "Do you want me to call you psychiatrist? To see why you keep having the visions?" Mama asks. "Please." I say and fiddle with my hands, which Mal causes me to stop a few minutes later by taking one of my hands, but then I play with her hand which I know she doesn't mind. "I am gonna go make us lunch." Mom says and leaves the room.

"Babe, stop. It's okay." Mal says and takes both of my hands calmly. "I know, I know. I- This isn't normal. I mean seeing visions and shit." I say. "No one is normal, Paige. There isn't a normal. But hey, you're your own person. You're special. You can do something not a lot of other people can." Mal says. "What does this mean then? I'm superhuman?" I say and Mal laughs. "I don't know. But I think it would be pretty cool if I had a superhuman girlfriend." She says making me smile. "Dork." I say and shove her slightly. "But I'm your dork." She says. "Oh I also kinda ate the rest of your lifesaver gummies in the car." She says causing me to look at her and raise an eyebrow. "Uh oh." She says and gets up and takes off running. "Get back here." I laugh and run after her. "I'm sorry!" She yells behind her. "Be careful!" Mom yells. Mal runs out of the house and into the backyard before running and jumping the fence, which I do as well. "Damn you're fast, but I'm faster." I yell as I'm catching up to her as we run down the street. I catch up to her a few houses down from mine and I wrap my arms around her and pick her up, spinning us around and setting her back down. "You owe me more gummies." I say. "I know." She laughs then my phone rings.
I see that it's Mama.
"Hey. You have an appointment in thirty minutes, hurry up and come back to the house." She says. "Oh okay." I say and we end the call. "Come on." I say and grab her hand but freeze because of another vision.
"Please welcome her to her first camp, Mallory Pugh." Jill says, causing me to look up from my phone where I was sitting in the back of the meeting. Wow she's cute. Wait what am I saying? Anyways.

Then it flashed through different memories of Mal and I together before I snapped out of it.
"Babe, you okay?" Mal asks. "Yeah. Just had another vision." I say and shake my body before grabbing Mal's hand again and we quickly walk back to the house.
- Arrival at the Doctor's -
Mom had to go to training so both Mom and Mama couldn't both miss even though it was for me but Mama told her to go so yeah. It's just Mama, Mal, and I at the doctor.
Mal and I go and sit down while Mama checks me in.
"What if I'm just crazy?" I whisper to Mal. "You're not crazy." She says. "Whatever..." I whisper. Mama soon comes over and sits down as well and wait until I'm called.
"Paige?" My psychiatrist, Dr. Tara says. "I'm here." I say and Mal, Mama, and I stand up. We follow Dr. Tara back to a room and sit down in chairs.
"So, what brings you in today Paige?" She asks. "I've been having these like... Visions of my past. Kind of like flashbacks but it's not just in my head. I like physically see it and nothing else. I can't hear anything besides what's in the vision either. I had them sometimes as a kid but their just now coming back and it's getting more and more recent. Like I've had two today. One this morning and one right before we came." I explain. "Can you elaborate on what went on in both of these visions today?" Dr. Tara asks. "Uhm sure... The first one this morning, Mal, one of our teammates, and my sister went to my sister and I's childhood home and I picked up something of my parent's. It was a paper or something and I just froze and the vision happened. I wasn't seeing in anyone's point of view, it was like I was the air. I'd rather not say what my parents were talking about because it's very personal." I say. "That's okay, and this second vision?" She says. "Mama had just called telling me that I had this appointment in thirty minutes and to get back to the house since me and Mal were messing around. I grabbed her hand so we could start walking back, and I had another vision, and memories of Mal and I together started flashing quickly through my vision." I say then look down. "That's interesting. Let me do a little thinking to make sure of what it is because I have a feeling I know what it is." Dr. Tara says. "Okay." I say. "I will be right back." She says and smiles at us as she leaves.
We're all silent until she comes back in a few minutes later.
"So, Paige. It seems that you have retrocognition. This basically means that you can see things from the past, even if you weren't there. It's very rare, but at the same time, it's really cool." Dr. Tara says. "Is there a way to treat it?" Mal asks. "No, there is not." Dr. Tara says. "Okay." I say. "So, is that all for your visit today? Anything needed for your medicines or anything?" She asks. "Nope, I'm good. Thank you." I say. "No problem, Paige. Have a nice day you all." She says as we get up.
The ride back to the house, we just talked about soccer and school.
But honestly, it is kinda cool that I have retrocognition.

Immovable Mage
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry. When the boy is accepted into Arcana Academy, his talent in the pillars of mana foundation awes everyone. All the bigger is the eventual disappointment when Terry turns out to be an utter failure at spellwork. Diagnosis? Major aspect impairment. No cure. Ever. Faced with expulsion, Terry is blessed with the unexpected kindness of others. Terry loses his spot in the Academy but in exchange, he finds a home with a family. Terry starts to train as a pure mana cultivator but never stops looking for his own path as a mage – day after day, season after season, always searching for compatible spellwork… Until finally, Terry’s perseverance earns him a single spell – the only spell he will ever be able to cast. Disclaimers: Chapter Frequency: I aim for one chapter a week. Chapter Length: I try to keep chapters between 3000 and 6000 words. Binge Preference: I plan for 30 chapters per arc. If you want to binge a complete arc, then that is the number to wait for. I will also add a line to chapters indicating the beginning and end of an arc. Advanced Access: I have created a patreon page with early access to four chapters for patrons. What to Expect: Progression fantasy with a western fantasy setting and with eastern fantasy elements. A main character that is forced to explore a very narrow path of magic due to a permanent condition. A main character that is a part of a larger cast. A main character that is growing but won't become the strongest around anytime soon. A story following a single main character but with introduction or theme setting scenes without the main character. What Not to Expect: Edgy grimdark characters – I will never write a sexual violence scene or gory descriptions of torture. I hate reading it and I would hate writing it even more. Romance – romantic relationships will never be the focus of the story and only appear in the background. The main character is preoccupied with other stuff. Other forms of relationships (family, friends, companions) play a bigger role. Cover: The cover art was commisioned from redditor Linh-Nguyen87. The font is alita brush by Inovatype Typefoundry. Overview: 001–030 Arc 1, Cultivating Perseverance: complete. 031–060 Arc 2, Undying Defiance: complete. 061–090 Arc 3, Unyielding Fury: scheduled for publishing. 091–120 Arc 4, Savage Hope: scheduled for publishing. 121–150 Arc 5, Self-Made Fate: first draft in progress. 151–180 Arc 6, Heretic Style: sketching in progress. Further Arcs are still in the sketching and idea collection phase.
