"Psionic power ?" asked prince while looking at me, then at lady Celina and back to me.

"Immposible" whispered his cousin lady Gabrielle.

"He he he" and lady Celina was still laughing.

"You mean she is Psionic from those myths ?" asked prince while facing lady Celina.

" He he ahh. Yes she is. Who could have thought that psionic would be serving as my maid." answered lady Celina and i grew exited.

I have no idea what it is, but judging from their reaction, its something very good.

"But what is this psionic power ? I never heard about it." asked lycan girl Jade with confused expresion.

"Psionics are mysteries of our World. Some even doubt that they ever existed in the first place ..." started speaking lord Edwin Darkmoon, who just entered.

"They were very powerful mages. Although its debated if they could even be considered as mages. Not a single psionic mentioned in history ever used incatantion." continued lord Darkmoon.

"They couldnt use anything outside single ability - telekinesis. But its potential was devastating. Attacks from a distance, stoping arrows and spells or even returning them back, making body faster or stronger. As legends say, everything was possible for them ." finished lord then faced lady Celina.

I was overwelmed by what i heard. Do i really have such power ?

"Celina, quarters have been prepared as you asked for your umm ... workshop or laboratory ? Sigh .. i still think that its unfit for you as heir to dable in those .. experiments."

"Thank you uncle. In a month i will have to leave for capital. With our House current state, we need all we can get to increase our standing. Our influence with new inventions and trades will help a lot during decision of our House new rank ..." i could barely hear lady Celina as my mind started to wander into a dream.

I am standing in front of army of countless soldiers and mages, while protecting Lady Celina and her friends behind me. In front of me most soldiers are shaking from fear. Soon fields get darker by massive cloud of arrows falling to us. I rise my hand and arrows freeze in place, i point my finger and they pierce enemy soldiers with incredible speed. But soon fireballs, water blades and massive stones start fly toward us, i show no fear. I rise my hand again and they all stop in place, i could hear lady Celina and her friends cheering from behind ...

".. Vivian ... Vi vi an." suddenly i awoke by voice of lady Celina. When i looked i saw her looking at me with a grin.

"Ah please forgive me lady Celina." i quickly bow while blushing.

Lord Darkmoon was no longer in a room and i could see everyone else looking at me. Just how long i spaced out ?

"Dont worry. Everyone here cant wait to see you demonstrate some of that power. So lets give them a show." said lady Celina and placed feather on table.

"Try to move it with your mind, i will help you." she said and placed hand on my head.

I could feel all hair standing just like when she checked me before. I concentrated and tried to 'move' feather, but nothing happened. But i didnt gave up. Lady Celina said i have this power, it must be my efforts that are at fault. I concentrated and tried again and again. After many attempts feather finaly trembled a bit. I tried to remember how i did it, and repeated. Feather trembled again. Soon pain assaulted my head.

"Try again now" said lady Celina when pain subsided.

"Yes Lady Celina." i answered and tried to make feather tremble again.

But this time from touch of my mind feather moved. I grew exited that i finaly managed it, but there was a bit of disapointment too. Somehow i was expecting .. something more.

"Try to lift it and keep in air." asked lady Celina.

I did as asked and feather unwillingly started to levitate. After i got feeling of it, i was ordering feather to slowly fly around us.

"Wow." said lycan girl and i was secretly happy.

"Lets start with something more heavy." said Lady Celina and placed silver orb on table.

I concentrated again and tried to move it. It was harder than feather, but now i knew how it worked and soon orb rolled a bit. After i played with it for some time, pain assaulted again. After pain subsided, i could feel improvement from 'teaching hand' of Lady Celina. Orb was now rolling on table at fast speed. I stoped and tried to lift it and managed on first try. But after i made it fly around for only a bit i started to feel very sleepy.

"Ok thats enough for today Vivian. I could feel, that for your power it doesnt mater if its feather or metal. It uses same amount of energy when lifting both. But even with my help you just awakened to this power. There is still long way to go." said Celina then looked at lycan girl.

"Jade, could i hire you for fencing lessons while we stay here ?"

"Sure" said Jade with a smile after looking to prince and geting nod in responce.

"Ok its decided then. Vivian, when you have your power recovered, allways use it to hinder your own movements. This will be training of powers and foundations for your passive defense at the same time." declared lady Celina while facing me.

"Yes Lady Celina." i answered with excitement.

"Ok then, time for some experiments hu hu hu. Vivian be so kind and find Lars. Say i asked for him." said lady Celina and walked away with happy expresion.

And with this my training in sword was decided as well. As lady Celina explained later, it was to get used to warriors responces. My style will be different in the end, when i learn to fight with swords using my mind only. I dont need to look out for my hand being cut that way. And with training from Jade, i will get used to multiple swords at once.

                         - - -

Its been few weeks since i awakened to my power. With help of lady Celina, telekinesis was getting stronger very fast. Now i could even levitate my own body. It was wonderful feeling, but i was scared of 'flying' too high.

By now i channeled power trough my body unconsciously. That created incredible defenses for my body. When during training with Jade, i accidently sliced my own arm, there wasnt even a scratch. From then on training became more brutal though as Jade wasnt worried about me geting hurt anymore. As she said, im now a lot like spellblade, with swords alone they cant be seriously wounded. Only magic or very strong attacks get pass their defense. When she said that, i remembered how one of these spellblade was pinned down with spear that my Lady threw during battle at Arcae. As i thought she is incredible, but i will train hard. I have dream to become strong enough to protect her. I dont know when it became like this. But i realized that besides maid, i wanted to be her guardian as well.

During these days Lady Celina spent most of her time in 'Laboratory'. Experiments on Lars were done only in first few days. He would growl when Lady Celina was cuting flesh and attaching metal parts to his shoulder. But after metal shouler was completed she would call him only once a day. Lady Celina would attach metal arm to shoulder, ask him some questions, then remove arm, write something on paper and let Lars leave. Rest of time she would work on other 'projects' as she said.

                          *

I was sparing with Jade at the courtyard and as allways was losing badly. I thought i was very strong now, especialy with the help of Lady Celina, but Jade was just at monster level. My power wasnt only thing that 'teaching hand' of my lady improved. Every time she used it after spar, all my unnecesary movements would be gone. By now i was confident, that i could easily win against any of Lord Darkmoon guards using one sword. But i never managed to get even a draw against Jade, and thats using four swords at once. I could lift or toss dozens of them with my mind, but fighting with them like using hands, four was my current limit.

"Concentrate." shouted Jade.

I was exanging blows with two swords and directing two other from behind, but she easily avoided them with slight lean of body or sidestep. After few more exchanges she sliped past my defenses and with kick sent me rolling twenty feet away. Yes, after she learned about my improved body, there was no mercy in spars.

"Jade ! I challange you to a duel." I was saved from follow up beating by voice of man.

"Hmm ? Ah its you Lars ... your arm ... Celina finished it ?" Jade stoped from attacking me and looked to visitor.

"Yes ! Metal parts made fully of mithril. Powered by five mana crystals and mana regenration enchants. Can squeeze rock into dust with it. And very nice secret ability. Ha ha ha." started bragging Lars and i could see him now with metal arm.

"But lets not change subject here. I challange you to a duel and after i win, you will belong to me." he quickly faced Jade and declared something unbelievable.

"Sigh. You still dont give up. Fine! But when you lose, no rematch for a two weeks." said Jade and after looking to me added.

"Vivian pay attention during match. This might help you with training."

Then she faced Lars and started fight. From a distance i could see Lady Celina rushing here with anxiety on her face.

"Jade be careful, his hand has .." she shouted.

In the mean time during exchange Jade froze for a moment, with her hair standing. And by the time she recovered, there was blade resting on her neck. What was that ?

" .. ability to shock " finished slowly Lady Celina while looking woriedly at Jade who was looking ahead of her with blank look.

"I Won ! .. ha ha ha! I won! I won! i won! I fucking won !" Lars was shouting and jumping around.

"What ... was that ?!" shouted Jade while looking at her left arm after recovering a bit.

"That was cheating !" quickly added when looked at Lars acting like child.

"No my dear Jade. This arm is part of my body now. So all is fair and square. And with this win ... you are my prize." said Lars then grabed her arm and dragged to manor.

"W..wait i ... i still think its cheating ..." we could hear Jade whisper while she reluctantly followed Lars.

"Uhh ... i hope Jade wont blame me." whispered Lady Celina.

I guess thats end of training for today. I thought while looking at Jade dragged away.
