Chapter 1 The seeker Adiline
Adiline was thirty-two. With a bad back from all of her slouching. She never meant to, it would just happen when ahe was seeking. Unfortunately she only had one good use. To seek for things using her ability. She could search for objects & people, but her ability was limited. It was easier to find jessep's lost hair brush within the pack lands than to find anoher entity in the whole human and non-human realm. Often she found, if she stopped looking, an entity would suddenly cloud her vision.
But their leader, michael had asked her to try harder this time. "We need more of our own kind on our side." he said.
But she was never good under preasure. She understood why he was adamant. The entities of the shadows where causing more troube lately. They had created an epidemic and war in theblst six years alone. It was getting really bad for the humans. There where only thirty-six of us and our families here on the pack lands. Including other supernatural creatures. Such as werewolves, dragon shifters, and really more than that. Most are the mates and families of the entities here. But other are friends and comrades who joined our goup alone the way.
Currently my back hurst as I slouch on this cold floor. Its the quietest place to concentrate. I don't even know who the entity is I will find, if any. I will also ahve to converse with dylan if i see something. He understands the ancient history books more than most here. Over 1,000 books, each containing one of each of our titles, what we can do, what we are called, and historical events of our past lives using our powers. I can't remember my past life. Many of us can't. But the books help put enough together for us to at least know what we're capable of. I for instance am "The seeker- finder of lost things, bringer of more." Lot of good that does me. In my book, it shows I once could find the meaning of a word, just by thinking of the word. I could seek for the truth in a person and know it. I could search the earth in my minds eye and find any being that met my description. But now I spent this life time searching for lost remotes and keys. On a good day I might find an entity. But so far thats only been five in the span of the 20 years ive known i'm an entity.
"A-a-a-CHOO!" ugh this room is dusty. My vision swirls. Suddently I see it. A girl. She looks a little younger than me. Maybe late 20s? Brown hair. Could this be an entity? And if so, which one?
She stands there with a child...no a child & baby. She is scrolling on her phone. On a app called care. She is looking for a new job. A nanny job. Her name flashes at the top. I founder her!
Im ecstatic! Jumping up and never mind. Owe my leg. Ugh why does it need to be asleep now. I hobble for a moment and wghle my toes. The blood flows back into my leg. I swing the door open and run down the hall to michael. He's stting in his office. " I did it. I found one! Her name is lila. She has a care account. Her hue was green and a star shimmer around her." I was sooo proud of myself.
"You did good adiline. Go ahead and get dylan for me. He should check the books. He'll know which one she is... hopefully.
