A positive force

After my fight, the self-defense instructor Mr. Naseden, came over to me. “Havel,” he said. “Do you want to tell me what’s going on? When you came here, you couldn’t take anything seriously, now you’ve turned into this ball of pure rage.”
“It’s my family.” I replied. “They’re in great danger and I can’t do anything about it.”
“I see,” he said. “You’re from Atlantia.”
“How did you?...” I started.
“So am I,” he said. “I have family there too. I know it’s tough, but we have to move on.”
“So how do you cope?” I asked.
“You train, you keep fit, and when that dome comes down, you go directly to Atlantia, and take out as many of those Black Guard bastards as possible.” He replied.
I was stunned.

I was silent for a while.
“Yes.” I said.
“See me for one-on-one training,” he said. “I’ll teach you how to fight, how to use your unique skills as a splicer, and best for you, I’ll teach you how to meditate, to find peace until you need your anger.”
“Thank you.” I said.

I went away thinking that this could be very beneficial. Meditation hadn’t been an outlet I’d tried. He told me to start straight away, and to pay special attention in Aura-reading classes, because he said it would help me fight. He also told me to keep it quiet, because the higher-ups wouldn’t approve of him condoning skipping back to Atlantia as soon as possible to fight. Apparently I wasn’t the only student at Tosadae who was itching to get back to Atlantia. Apparently Cole Lazerman himself was chomping at the bit to return, and Commander Hague himself had to talk him out of it.

What Hague doesn’t know can’t hurt him, I’m going back to Atlantia as soon as I can, and I’m going to save my family.
