Chapter 12 - Chapter 11: insight

As Max was laying on his bed still day dreaming of the legend he had just heard of the legacy of a real titan as a god of her planet. Max suddenly sense something from his arm. Max gets up looks towards where he sensed as he notice a piece of crystal near his desk.

"Odd I never had it on my desk, nor was given by Carm yesterday?" He slowly approaching the crystal on his desk, it had a bright blue colour and rigged "this is definitely something not from Carm's museum, but I should show this to her just to be safe."

Max begins to pick up the crystal he was immediately crushed by his crystal hand "what?! I did even grip it."

Then the crystal Max had crushed started flowing within him. Making him feel something within him that Max himself couldn't understand what he is feeling as if his muscles are tensing out of nowhere. Then suddenly as Max took one step forward and suddenly a jolt of movement happens as Max gets thrown out of the window from his room and falls from his house. But was save by his arm, as it created a slide, gracefully sliding down as it reforms back into his arm. Max in awe and as he tries to get up he was flung again through the window back into his house and standing up.

"what was that?!" Quickly he looked at his arm as he sees a bright blue glowing in his crystal arm, Max tries to go find a mirror as he was once again, a jolt of movement flung his around his house until he was flung into the bathroom. Quickly stopping himself before he could move he look in the reflection of the mirror as he sees his eyes having a bright blue.

"What is this jolt moving around in my body. Was it due to that crystal, I need to talk to Carm." Max tries to go down stairs, but was again flung around his house as suddenly made his way outside as he is moving from window to window, glass to glass. Anything with a reflection Max instantly move with a jolt of movement, until he made his way to Carmlien's museum "Max are you alright... and why are you in your pajamas and where's your shoes?" Carmlien pointing out that Max is only wearing a white tank top, and blue sweatpants.

"Carm, I don't know what I've done but quickly can you give a crystal, I can move right now so please hurry!"

As Max is speaking at a frequent rate, Carmlien then quickly grabs a piece of amethyst and gives it to Max. Max quickly crushes the amethyst and his crystal arm and his turned to a bright purple once more, safely deactivated the jolt of movement Max is having trouble with feeling relieved for Carmlien's aid.

Soon Carmlien give Max some clothes from her office, even some spare shoes. "Okay Max can you tell me what just happened". As Max puts on the clothes given by Carmlien he then explained to her for finding a crystal on his desk and once he crushed it made him to jolt with intense movement.

"So the crystal you found what colour was it"

"It had a bright blue colour"

"Let me check, but before we can proceed I need to switch the sign"

Carmlien close her museum early then went towards Max's aid, as she help by finding the crystal that gave Max a huge jolt of movement. Looking through the collection of crystals Carmlien grabbed a piece of zircon "hey Max could it be zircon" Carmlien passes the crystal to Max and he immediately crushes turning his arm blue again.

"No it had more of a brighter blue. It looks like it gave my arm a bit shade of green but still a bit blue."

Suddenly Max falls to the ground "oh my god, Max are you okay" Carmlien tries to bring Max up but he was somehow heavier than before "hey Carm, I think the zircon causes every part of my body feeling like it's carrying weights I can barely move."

"Can you try to get up?"

Max attempts to stand up but could as if his body was weighted down "no, it's like I'm trying to carry Lensfer's boat."

"Okay, I'll go get another one".

Carmlien runs back to the crystal collections grabbing both a piece of lapis, and celestite and first firmly pleases the lapis onto Max's arm as he crushes as nothing happened as it only turns his arm blue.

"Do you feel anything?"

"No I still feel weighted"

"Interesting so some crystals can give you enhancement whether it's good or bad, but some only changes the colour of your arm. Here try the celestite"

Carmlien then places the celestite as Max crushed the crystal again, the weight from the zircon went away "I think the celestite worked".

As Max tries to get up he is suddenly moved with a jolt of movement once again bouncing around Carmlien's museum heading towards the crystal gallery then bouncing towards Carmlien's office, and heading towards the other exhibits in the museum and Carmlien running around her museum "Max can you stop for a instant you might break something" then suddenly stopping in front of Carmlien "the celestite was definitely it thanks Carm" then suddenly they heard a knock at the front of the door from the museum "didn't they read the sign that I put up" "allow me Carmlien" "Max wait you still have the celestite" as Carmlien tries to explain to Max, he then with a jolt of movement he safely makes his way towards the front door as he stops near the door "hey I'm already getting the hand of the celesite"

Max feeling confidence to himself as he looks through the door window and sees Rayn at the door in awe for how fast his best friend just went. Max opened the door for Rayn.

"Max did you just..." Rayn still in awe of his best friend somehow move in a blinding light.

"Rayn? What are you doing here" Max asked

"Well I was going to your house Max, but when I go there no one was there to answer"

"Yeah, sorry about that, I just had problems with my arm that's all. But you're never gonna believe this"

"Believe what?" Rayn takes a quick Look at his arm to see that his arm is bright blue.

"What with the blue arm?"

"Never mind that but, the point is I can go super fast" it only took a moment for Rayn to process what Max said, until he was shock towards the bottom of his body "WHAT!!!"

"I know right!"

Max then quickly showcase Rayn by show a jolt of movement and moving around Carmlien's museum as if it was a light show before stopping in front of Rayn as his eyes were filled with amazement.

"So what do you think"

"That's was... amazing! Is there more of what your arm can do"

"Don't know there could be hundreds of possibilities. Lets go ask Carm"

As they were having a talk suddenly under their feet as they suddenly seem to feel a little lighter until they look down to only witness a portal below their feet as they fall through the portal "Max! Rayn!" Carmlein tries to follow attempting to leap towards them, but as she gets closer to the portal it closes "oh no". Carmlien shocked and concern as she could follow Max and Rayn into the portal, as she gets back up onto her feet she's is in wonder of to where they are, or when.

But suddenly then behind her something touches her leg and Carmlien falls over unknowingly, as she looks behind her, she sees a tendril made of crystals latching onto her leg. Fear started to emit from her face, but as she was about to react, with no hesitation the tendril started to drag her away all towards the unknown as another one approaches out of the room almost looking exactly like Carmlien.
