10 World's Children.

"Here give him to me, it's my turn." Leonard said to Dan that was holding Robin on his back.

Nodding his head Dan gave Robin to Leonard, as looked around him, and just as he did his eyes happened to meet Anie's, Anie's face was pale and her hands were shaking.

Dan thought she was just tired, but then he saw that the tips of her fingers were somehow black.

He hesitated a little but then moved close to her and asked:

"Do you have ability?"

His question seemed to surprise her but she still said:

"No, I never showed any sign of having one"

"That's weird, you show some of the signs of having awaken an ability recently

" Dan said while frowning.

For some reason the only memories that were as clear as his normal ones ever since the beginning were the memories from the abilities world, as they were clear since the first time all those memories appeared on his mind.

Yet just like the others, he only had remembered knowledge and some elements of that world, he still wasn't able to remember much about his personal life.

"That's impossible, my brother said that if I had one it would have appeared long ago so the there's no chance that I have one."

"Did anything weird happen to you recently, or do you feel somehow weird in your body, all those can be signs that you have awakened an ability." Dan insisted.

Anie hesitated and then said with uncertainty:

"Yeah my body feels somehow weird, and when my brother was holding me after the twelfth Royal Guard squad caught, us I somehow drifted to a weird state where I wasn't able to control my body, and my eyes kept on moving around before I lost consciousness"

"Did you have a weak body since childhood, and since you can remember, there had always been a wave of heat moving inside your body, it gets really strong and unbearable in the month of your birth" after muttering to himself for a while, Dan finally asked her.

"Yes how did you know?" Anie said in surprise.

She wasn't surprised about him saying that she had a weak body as that was apparent, but she was surprised because of what he said about the heat that moves in her body, as she never told anyone except her brother about it, even her brother thinks that it had been cured on its own as she told him that in order to stop him from worrying about her.

As she was thinking about it she noticed that the heat had disappeared from her body, just as a surprised expression appeared on her face she heard Dan's voice saying:

"If I'm not mistaken, then the heat had already disappeared from your body right "

Anie showed an astonished expression as she looked at Dan.

"From you expression I think that that it is true" Dan said with a smile.

"Yes, you see, usually abilities are a part of you so they are going to be in your body since the day you are born, and as you grow they grow with you till one day they reach a point where they became powerful enough to become apparent, but there are another few types of abilities, and if I'm not mistaken yours belong to this type." here Dan stopped and looked at Anie, seeing her nod at him he added:

"One of he other types of abilities can simply be described as people suffering from defects, they simply are unlucky people who have abilities, yet their bodies are flawed, there's no chance of them awakening their abilities at all, because their power can't leave their bodies, so they have no hope of living past the age of 20, as their power will keep on growing, yet their bodies won't be able to handle it, eventually they will... Explode."

Anie's face paled when she heard that. Nero, Leonard and Katherine, who were listening to the two also shivered.

Seeing that Dan smiled and said:

"But fortunately, you're not of that type as your ability has already awakened so no need to worry."

Seeing her sigh in relief he continued:

"There's another type of abilities, just like the second type, these abilities won't awake when they grow to some point, but they will only keep on growing inside your body, but here's the different between this type of abilities and the first type."

"They activate under certain conditions, and before that they are going to just keep on growing inside of your body, and that will have a bad effect on it, from how you appear I think that, if your ability hadn't awakened in the next two years, there's a high chance that you would have died, as its power would have tried leaving your body, but because your ability wouldn't have awakened yet, it wouldn't have been able you leave your body in the regular way and you would have... Exploded."

Anie's face turned pale again after hearing that, she never would have thought that she had no more than two years to live if not for her ability meeting its conditions to awaken.

Calming herself she asked Dan with a calm expression, but she knew that deep in her heart she was excited as for most of her life she wished for an ability, for no other reason other than helping her brother

But she know that it was just a wish with no hope of becoming true, so when she heard Dan say that she had an ability she felt excited and happy that she was finally going to became of help to her brother especially now that they are in an unknown dangerous place.

"So how do I use it, I can't really feel any different except the disappearance of the heat in my body."

"Well if it was a normal ability you would have been able to understand everything about it as soon as it awakened, but for abilities like yours the ability will only activate on its own, and under normal circumstances there's no way for you to activate it." Dan said that with an apologetic voice as even though she tried to hide it, he was able to see the excitement and expectations on her eyes.

And just as he expected Anie became disappointed after hearing what he said but then she hurriedly hid it and said:

"So how do I know the conditions of my abilities activation? and what it does?"

"Well they are the same conditions that led to its awakening on the first place, as for its effect it is what happened when it awakened, from what happened then we can conclude it, so can you tell me what happened before you lost consciousness, we might be able to know what it is by collecting the clues we have." thinking for a while Dan finally told her as that was what he was able to find from the memories in his head.

"It was when the Twelfth Royal Guard squad surrounded me and my brother, the situation was bad and I remember my brother hugging me after he was told that the fire God Ethan ordered the execution of both me and my brother, it was then that I lost control of my body, and my consciousness started wavering but I was still able to understand and see what was happening in front of me for a while before I lost consciousness, the last thing I remember is that my roaming eyes that were looking everywhere without my control stopped on a young man on the Twelfth Royal guard team, from what I heard he was the one stopping my brother from using his ability and after that everything turned black as I fainted"

At first Dan was listening normally searching for any clues, but as she finished her words his face froze in astonishment as if he couldn't believe what conclusion he reached.

"Da... Dan are you alright? What's wrong.l?" Anie asked after she saw how he wasn't reacting.

She wasn't the only one untreated as the other three looked at him with interest, wanting to know what he concluded.

"Nero, can you tell me what happened after that?" Returning to his senses, Dan turned to Nero and asked.

After Nero told him what happens after that he said with a trembling voice:

"You... You're a world's child." He couldn't believe that he would meet such a rare case like this one.

"A world's child? what does that mean?" Nero asked.

He had been listening to what the two were talking about since the beginning, but even he didn't know what Dan meant by a world's child, as he had never heard about anything like that before.

"The world's children are rare ability holders ever since humanity started keeping records till the day I died in the your world they appeared only three times." Dan returned to his senses and calmed himself down as he started his explanation.

"Their ability belong to the third type of abilities they only get activated under certain condition, other abilities conditions are somehow easier to achieve than theirs as the other abilities require staying underwater for a while or being put under specific high or low temperature, yet the only way for a world's child to awake his ability is for him or her to be under threat of absolute death, and that's not the only condition they also need to be at least 18 years or higher, but because they usually die at the age of 20 or so because of their ability not awakening, they only have a window of two years for their abilitirs to awaken making their abilities one of the rarest, but that wasn't why I was so surprised, instead it is because of what their ability are."

"Wha... What's their ability" hearing how rare it is for the world's children to appear Nero couldn't help but ask, as he wanted to know what ability does this little weak girl have.

"Their ability is somehow weird and they can't control it, as it only activate when they are under danger of death and its only effect is to find a way out for their survival, that's why they are called world's childrenl, it is as if the world itself doesn't want them dead, if they are under danger of death weird thing will happen.

"There's even this story about how one of the three of the world's children that appeared in history was once caught by a thief that wanted to kill him and take all what he had, in the end the thief got hit by a lightning, the weirdness in all of this is that the weather was sunny with no sign of clouds at all, of course it's just a story and no one know if it's true or not, but it at least shows what kind of an ability a world's child have."

When he finished talking every one of them looked at Anie with weird expressions, they couldn't believe that a small weak girl like her would have such weird ability.

"Ho... How did you know that I have this ability." Anie calmed herself and asked with a clearly unsteady expression.

"There are some clues, like how you lost control of your body as that happen when their ability activate under extreme conditions, it is the only ability that have such an effect.

"Also Nero said that the young man who was keeping you lost control of his ability, and so did the girl with the bird, the world children sometimes interfere with other people abilities making them stop working or working in a weird way in order for them to live, and this can be an explanation about how your brother's ability took him to our world as that may be because of your ability's interference with his own activated it in a weird way taking him to our world."

"So my ability will let me survive and I can't control it."

"Yes that's how it, so you better not push yourself much right now, as awakening an ability can be quite hard on the body especially for someone with a weak body like yours." Dan said.

They stayed silent after that till they made it to the place where Nero felt those human appear from.

"Are you sure they appeared from here" Leonard asked as he looked at the destroyed buildings around him.

"Don't worry I'm quite sure that they appeared here, and for them to appear in a one kilometer reduce of me without noticing them means that they came from underground, so should we search for the entrance and enter or should we wait for them to return here?" Nero said.

Using his sensitive nose Nero can feel anything in a reduce of five kilometers, so them appearing so suddenly t a one kilometer away from him can only mean a few other thing, and in that case the most possible is that they came from underground.

"We won't search for the entrance as we don't know if they have other people underground and if they are going to shoot us as soon as we enter thinking of us as some suspicious party, I think that we better find a good place to hide here for a while and wait for them to return." Dan answered after he thought about it for a while, and then after they found a good place to hide he added:

"Nero where are they right now? are they staying still or are they moving?"
