curiously I ask my master but still won't tell me, all ways on the saying ”it's best not to know curiosity kills”,. He trains me everyday, makes me adapt easily to living in the desert, I wouldn't say so in my entire life to him but seriously no matter how strict and wicked he is to me, he's still the coolest guy I've ever met, he thought me how to use so many weapons I've never seen in my entire life, he thought me how to hold my stamina very strong and today mostly he's teaching as he said the most awkward skill ever how to be............
**********************************
“Firstly, before I teach you the skill of invisibility which you think it's spiritual and impossible, I prove to you today that it's normal only if you can focus and be coordinated”
“Do you know you teach weird things that doesn't exist like how you taught me how to walk without making sound I never thought that could be possible until to taught me that, wait don't tell me that this one also requires the personal sense of physics and whole mind of psychology, because I promise you my head will bust this time around”, selene said as she laid down on top of a heap of sand nochalantly as plays with the sand childishly, who will know that this childish girl seen playing is a master of her own and acquiring the skills of a grand master.
“The first and basic step of invisibility is controlling your own shadow, this skull of invisibility was the toughest for me, it took me all my youth to learn it to which I haven't master it up till now even though ih have the knowledge which I will admit it's a big shame”, Charles said as he raised his head to the sky remembering the old times and how trouble his training were.
“Hmph, that's in the past now, what matters now it's that I know the skill and I'm going to teach it to you which you must learn, got it?!
“Don't tell me you expect me to say 'got it'! Like an obedient student, wait let me understand something, how do you expect me to learn this formidable still when you the great master, the oga kpatakpata have not learn it, it's not possible now. But who taught you this stupid skill, wey you self no fit learn and you expect me to learn, it's not possible now..., As you see me I'm very tired I don't have strength to c***k my brain or calculate the whatever motion thing you'll soon tell me to calculate, with your stupid view of 'everything requires maths or physics', as you can see me I don't have time for that your confusing teaching and talks abeg let me rest “, selene said as she laid down well facing the sun.
Sometimes anytime Charles looks at selene he can't still understand if it's the same person he pited of ending up in the desert with him or another person, because now he's now believing the say of what you order vs what you got, this girl is all ready getting out of hand, she even called his skill stupid, a whole Charles skill stupid, infact he was speechless it seems like he has to let her rest for some time, yeh, she has really been training very hard, but harmattan is almost here, she needs this invisibility skill even though it's just the scrap of it, the theorist are not taking any rest he's well sure if that.
“Brother Charles?",
" Brother Charles are you there”
Selene called out to him as she went to the back of the cabin holding unto her raged clothe.
" Do you know your such a disturbance”
" Brother Charles!, You scared me” , selene said as she jerked off when she heard him beside her, he was carrying woods to make fire.
“What's wrong, are you done mastering your stance and rotation of your body when requires?
“Eh, that's not even why I'm here, where do you use to carry all this from and also the water we use, brother Charles is not like an doubting you or thinking roughly I just want to know all about the desert and everything, where you go to when you say you go out for a week or so, the areas in this place and most especially why you keep me here instead of killing me that moment. I promise it's not doubt just you know... Curiosity, I've all ways been thinking”, selene said almost in a whisper but enough for him to hear as she rested get back on the cabin waiting.
Charles knew this day would come, curiosity is what her problem is but it is normal he understands , even if it was him he'll also be curious .
“Ask all the question you want to ask, I'll give you this privilege only this once", Charles said not looking at her as he tries starting the fire.
“Ok um, thanks, where should I even start from, ehm, what's your purpose of keeping me why didn't you kill me that moment” , selene asked. as she clutched unto the wall equally showing her nervousness as she takes quick breaths not less than every 3 minutes.
“Because you are very useful, I noticed your potentials the moment you challenged me, so because of that I decided to let you live, I knew that if I train you well you will be more than useful to me in every way”
" Why”
(Chuckles)" I'm already getting old and let me be sincere I'm very very wanted. (Signs) That's why I decided to train you well for you to have at least 90% of my skills and knowledge, you'll have to know your reason to, your reason to kill, your reason to obtain and most importantly the reason to take, harmattan is already coming which is very dangerous because where in a dessert, u'll have to go out of this dessert, is it'll September, we'll have to make haste, but you living this dessert without aquireing the skills I'm teaching to turn to dust like this dessert except that u'll have no legacy, but I can only do all this things for you if you agree to my terms, if not I give you some skills and u'll go and live your own life, but that's if u'll survive”
" And what's that”
" Sweetheart it's not an easy thing”
" I'm listening”
" You'll have to be my shadow”
