The Chronicles of Draylon by Kenneth Balfour Page B

abilities. He was determined that this was not going to beat him; he was going to get it all back piece by piece. Draylon walked down to the coastline of Hanga Roa, Easter Island and found himself a rock. He picked it up and focused his ability to manipulate matter. He shaped the rock into a smooth ball shape and was happy that at least that ability was still working. He then focused his telekinetic powers on a slightly larger rock, he found it hard work, but was able to raise it several feet from the ground before his powers gave way and the rock crashed to the ground. Draylon was happy that he had retained some of his abilities, but his powers bestowed by the amulet were lost.
    Draylon made his way back to Paul’s flat, and when he arrived Paul had just got up. Paul asked where he had been so early and Draylon told him all about it. He went on to tell Paul all about his journey to Alton Hampshire, his fight at Death Valley and the news of the pale green aliens still existing. Paul was saddened to hear of Draylon’s death at the hands of the new kid on the block, and vowed to help him with his training until he gets all of his powers back. Paul looked at Draylon and said, “You will get all of your powers back, and you will beat him.” Draylon felt uplifted by Paul’s optimism.
    Paul went on to tell Draylon about his vision, he explained that he must have inherited the gift of foresight when Draylon brought him back from the dead in The Great Pyramid at Egypt. Draylon was intrigued by this and suggested it’d be a good idea to try meditation and maybe try to have control over his gift. Paul explained that he wasn’t sure if it was only a temporary thing, Draylon said it was worth practicing just in case. He explained that Paul’s foresight could be a valuable tool in the battle against Draykon and the greys.
    Draylon told Paul that during his visit to Alton Hampshire, he had tried to become a harder person, a person who would be capable of killing, should it be necessary. He had felt he never really had it in him to take a life, but that wouldn’t be an option if the greys decided to attack. He explained he tried drinking alcohol, smoking and just trying to see the bad in people. No matter how hard he had tried, there was always more than enough good to combat the bad and always enough light to combat the dark. He said the world is in perfect balance as it should be, and he was just going to be himself and do what’s necessary when the time comes.
    Paul asked Draylon what he intended to do about his relationship with Adriana. Draylon said that as much as he likes her it cannot be, and that he cannot put her life in danger. Draylon went quiet and felt saddened at the thought, he desperately wanted to be with her, and he thought that maybe someday he could, but not yet.
    â€œWhat are your plans for today then?” asked Paul
    â€œI’m going to get a couple of Monster Ripper energy drinks and go for a nice long walk, and then later I’ll go and see how Adriana is feeling.”
    â€œOK! I’m going to have a look on the internet for training ideas, I’m sure we can come up with something to get you back to good health and fitness again. Leave it to me.”
    â€œThank you! I really appreciate it. I’ll see you a little later then.”

Chapter Seven – Adriana
    Adriana awoke nigh on midday, her mother Angelica was sat beside her bed with a big smile on her face. Adriana smiled back at her mother.
    â€œHi, nice to have you back.”
    â€œHi mum, it’s lovely to be home, I had a horrible time,” Adriana sobbed into her mother’s arms.
    â€œEverything is going to be OK!” Angelica said gently stroking her daughter’s hair.
    â€œDraylon is dead mum,” tears were coursing Adriana’s face.
    â€œDraylon is alive, Paul phoned last night,” Angelica reassured her.
    â€œBut, but,” Adriana was ecstatic at the news
