into people's minds while they were awake. I shuddered when I thought about the power they had. If the wrong people had a trait like that, it could be monstrous.  
    We moved on to the next sign, Vérigolé. Their symbol was a sideways S that had an arrow through it. Full of lust, they could attract just about anyone. It was a pheromone that their body released. They too had an extra sense: attraction. If you were around someone you were attracted to, they knew it. Some Vérigolés worked as love prophets, so that Emréians around the planet would find their true love. Some of the Vérigolé women, though, worked as harlots. I found it sad that even on other planets some men still didn't want true love. They still preferred sex and lust over one thing that could actually make them happy.
    "Véreigolé's also can overcome the bonding process, which allows them to love others without too much emotional attachment."
    "What do you mean bonding?" I asked in confusion.
    "You will learn about that later." Aaronmon stiffened. I knew he was keeping something from me, but I let it go.
    I questioned myself. Could you be destined to be with someone outside of your own species?  Kyle was human. I was Emréian. What would a Vérigolé tell me about my true love? I had to break away from this thought. There were some things I was just not ready to know about, things that could hurt me emotionally.
    "So what about Ominus?" I asked Aaron.
    "Ominus are very special. Before you, they were the newest evolved of the Emréians. They can move objects with their mind and create force fields. A lot of them are really good with mechanics. Their biggest weakness is that their power uses up their strength. They can steal energy from other power sources to help regain their strength."
    He drew out their symbol, which was a swirl with rays coming from it, some shorter than others.
    I had to admit, at this point, I was feeling kind of weak. Everyone else had these active powers; however, all I could do was feel others feelings, which didn’t do me any good. I guessed I  didn't excel in the better end of the gifts. Of course, nobody knew what that was.
    "Why am I new breed?" I asked.
    "We don't know. There are some things that even the most advanced civilizations have not been able to figure out. When Ominus was discovered, we believed that it was an evolved Emréian breed, designed by nature to keep the species alive. Perhaps, it has something to do with you living on Earth. I don't know. But it happened," Aaronmon said.
    "Great, even as an alien species I'm a freak," I huffed.
    "Perhaps a miracle." Aaronmon smiled. Somewhere there was a scent of vanilla and cinnamon that tickled my nose.
    "What kind of cologne do aliens wear?" I asked.
    "Huh?"
    "I always keep smelling this same cologne around you."
    Aaronmon shuffled away from me on the couch. I could feel him become uneasy.
    "It smells good, don't worry."
    "Thanks." He smiled slightly.
    Aaron then moved on, teaching me about Emréiana. I learned about different animals and plants that resided there. He taught me about the cities. I even let him tell me about the coven that resided in each city. Not that I would be taking a role in politics any time soon.
    I had to admit, I was fascinated to learn about a world outside of Earth. At first, I had been fearful, scared to know that something like me existed. I knew Aaron felt my excitement as he told me the stories about Emréiana; I didn't even try to hide it.
    By six o clock, though, I decided that I wanted to go out to the Star House Coffee and see which of my friends were there tonight. I went ahead and texted Kyle to meet me there. Mainly because, even though there were some things cool about Emréiana, I knew it would change my life with them. I wanted to enjoy every minute with them I could. I remembered how yesterday Aunt Trish said the Bremoir would be looking for me. If they found me, they would destroy anything to get to me, even if I didn't
