Hammerhead said:Ryan smiles and floats into the air, and then flies off. While flying, he comments, "You know, it's really hard to believe that woman is supposed to be our teacher." I wonder why she invokes some Norse god before using her elite powers. Does she need to do it? Is it some kind of mental block she has, given her background?
"I like her, she's cool. I wish I had a teacher like that in middle school... Anika says, her voice trailling off a bit.
Hammerhead said:"Anika, why the prayer before flying? Do you actually need to say that to use your Elite powers?" I hope this doesn't offend her. I'm just trying to learn more about her, I guess. Her powers will come in handy tonight though. Well, I hope not, but best to be prepared.
"Because this isn't my elite power, not really. My only elite power is that I'm a conduit to the power of my gods. I pray for the power, and it's given to me," she answers, not really annoyed with explaining. "That's why I rarely use it frivalously...I really don't do this often, but it's really relaxing, not to mention fun," she adds with a bit of a grin, doing a loop in the air. "And being responsible means I get to have fun once in a while."
"It's kinda weird, I was contacted by an Asatru organization in Sweden a while ago to become, well, I guess it's like a high priestess. It was sort of embarrassing, I've only been following the religion for a few years, and I'm only 16, I can see some people getting mad if I suddenly became one of their spiritual leaders after popping up out of nowhere, so I told them maybe someday, but not now. I still have a lot to learn, and prove.
"Plus, I need to be careful. Some of the followers of my religion are racist in a way with their views. I don't want anything to do with that. I've been around the world enough to relaize that where you're from doesn't make any difference with what type of person you are."
