《Shadow》Part four Logan's perspective
Advertisement
Once I arrived at school I left Patton with Roman and went to locate Virgil. As usual, he is seated at the picnic bench located approximately 56 feet from the edge of the school's property line.
"So what happened to Patton because you have been very anxious for the past two days and that only happens when something has happened to Patton." Virgil states I trust Virgil with information like this. He is too anxious to have fought anyone, but statistically Roman would be rather angry with me. So I should probably only use medical terms and not mention Roman by name. "Patton was brought to me because there was a chance he suffered severe head trauma however after careful examination he was discovered to be fine, simply in shock." Virgil appears to relax slightly when he hears me say that. "So are you going to explain what happened?" He asks me rather calmly. "I am not supposed to disclose that information," I reply. "You are being much more secretive than normal." "Falsehood you just don't pay enough attention to the world around you, now why were you walking by my house at 2:36 in the morning today?" "If you don't have to tell me things then I don't have to tell you things." "You are incorrect, the information about Patton does not pertain to you but the information about why you saw the lights on in my treehouse does pertain to me." "Fine, I was taking a late-night stroll happy now? And I am going to class. Maybe you should try designing a rocket launcher next for fun since that is all you do anyways." I just sigh knowing that arguing with him while he is in this state is pointless because he can't think rationally.

I decide to spend my time before I head to class sketching the rocket launcher idea that Virgil gave me, and figuring out which chemical compounds would be most effective for it. This is all theoretical of course, I mean I would love having real-world data but that would be extremely dangerous to retrieve. It would actually be rather easy to get the data since our school's dispensary has everything I would need.
Class, as usual, was incredibly easy even though I am taking all AP university-level courses. Many people have speculated that I am totally omniscient, which I am not I simply have a photographic memory and an IQ that is much higher than average. I actually currently maintain the highest IQ recorded for someone who isn't totally omniscient, 266 which is 3 points above the previous record-holder Ainan Celeste Cawley. Considering the fact that I am only a senior in high school is rather impressive but I did break the record when I was 5 so that adds to the factors, I simply haven't gotten tested in many years.
I remain attending a high school for the social aspects, my parents didn't want any part of my development stunted due to my intellect. So I spend my free time formulating concepts and designs for often dangerous tools that are rather complex and doing mixed martial arts as it allows me to be in peak physical condition as well as peak mental condition. Many people would expect someone with an IQ as high as mine to only care for their brain, however, I believe that to maintain a high IQ you need to strengthen all aspects of your life and explore all areas.
I decide to pull out my design tools to aid in my designing as I have already finished my work for this semester. Since I am in chemistry I decide to use the contained space for more dangerous experiments to test a theory of mine that should work, I take a small vial of coagulated blood from my bag, and mix it with a few chemicals and then sprinkle it on a Bunsen burner which makes a small explosion. As I theorized but I made it small enough so that it wouldn't damage anything. I clean up and head over to my table to record my findings and finish my design.

Once lunch came around I met with Virgil again and handed him my design schematic so he could study them. I wholeheartedly agree with the idea that everyone should challenge their intellect but Virgil has always been skilled at building things and following lab instructions so I don't comprehend why he needs my designs but if he finds them to be fascinating then I am satisfied with allowing him to study them.
I pull out my perfectly balanced meal and watch to see if Virgil brought food, as usual, he didn't. "It is extremely unhealthy to skip meals, Virgil." He rolls his eyes at me. "I forgot to bring lunch it's fine." I had planned for this, I pull out another meal this one much smaller as he won't eat much of it anyway and there is no point in wasting food. "Here now eat before I have to force-feed you," I say it completely seriously because he knows that I will do it, my concerns for his health are too great. "Fine but only because I don't want your hands in my mouth." He says laughing a little bit. "Hey you actually flavoured it this time, to be fair only with cayenne but you are improving Logan!" He adds after taking a small bite. "There is no point in adding extra things to the meal once it is balanced, however, I realized that it makes you more likely to eat it so I obliged." He smiles slightly. "You really care that much?" "Well, of course, I do, eating us a crucial thing for humans to do. Now eat the food because I know that it's 'fleek'" I say holding up a vocabulary card.

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
