Fortune nooks night. Justinia, the potions master took the liberty of making me my nomen potion for the night. A nomen potion is a drink that will make you emotionally numb. I need it to keep myself stable- as a blast of my emotions could put a lot of people in jeopardy.
Here in the fortune nooks, the oracles are given a title that depends on their specialization in magic. We have the Brahmas, the Vishnus and the Shivas. The Brahmas are people who can create new types of creatures at will. They have the power to amalgamate any living creature or plant and make them their soldiers. Vishnus have the power to see the past, present and future and Shivas, the most dangerous kind of all, has the power to destroy anything at will and drown the whole universe into oblivion. Probably you know now why I have to drink a nomen potion. I am a Shiva- one of the only three existing on earth.
AHAE is an organization that protects the fortune nooks. It is secretly disguised as an otaku hub so that the weapons that they always carry will be taken for as mere costumes. The protectors are called the pujaris.
The head Brahma in the organization is Mara. She is a from a family line of divination masters. Jiao Hua is a Vishnu. In the world today, there are three existing oracles per kind. Mara found me and Jiao Hua and we helped her in founding this organization.

Mara is a Brahma that specializes in creating Chaemeras. She creates new animals by summoning them and combining them to form a creature that can be used for combat. As I was watching her play with her new creature friends, Joseph, the pujaris suddenly jumped in front of me to greet me hello. He was looking for Jiao Hua.
Ahoy! He said with a grin. Have you seen me lady?
I gave him a surprised look. " You two are a couple already? Wow that was fast."
"Well, not yet." He said. I was just wondering if I could invite her to dinner.
"Oh. Well her her parents already picked her up. You should have popped up earlier. "
"Oh, I see." He said in a disappointed tone. "Well, off I go! See you!"
Jiao Hei peeped behind the stack of wooden boxes. "Is he gone?" She whispered. I nodded silently. Its not like she didn't like him, its just that, she needed to practice her skills as a Shiva. The most she can do now is three readings in a week and if she tries after that, she passes out for a day or two. It is not really healthy.
"Do me a reading." I said.
"I only do present readings." She said. "Don't ask me anything about the future."
"Fine."
She looked into my eyes and tried to see. "That boy." She said. "You are still vastly affected by his treason."
"I know. How can I make it disappear? "
She took out her cards and did me a tarot reading. Her cards said that I need to regain my sense of wonder and open myself to new possibilities that is beyond what I already see and know.
I didn't understand. I walked away and went into my room. I slept with pangs of confusion in my chest.
