ZENITH

Chapter 32 - //Potential//

Months have passed since the meteor strike that killed many of the people who lived in Spencer's kingdom occurred, the people had long recovered and were rebuilding all they lost, graves were made to respect those that had died during the collision and Spencer made sure to have Specially made gravestones for Dinah and Hagen to represent their importance to the kingdom. Cassius, on the other hand, was an unknown factor, no evidence of his death was found, nor was there a trail to find his whereabouts, but we did not have time to search for him.

The kingdom was almost rebuilt completely, the crater where the meteor laid was restricted from the population and was kept under constant watch after realizing what it could do, the crater was also surrounded by a purple energy field that was placed by Spencer, the field would prevent any forms of life from entering by knocking back all organisms that come in contact with it.

Breaching into a secluded cut off area surrounded by walls, two silhouettes could be observed sitting on padded floors in a criss-cross position, both had their eyes closed and were in a state of deep meditation, one silhouette releasing a mass of purple energy that was being absorbed by the smaller silhouette in front of it.

This area was built by Spencer to personally train those that he decided upon, this place was built and reinforced with his b.a.r.e hands to withstand intense sparring sessions with whomever he decided to train, the area also held training equipment and gear used to allow for more variety, there was even a sleeping facility built-in, all hidden and covered by an energy barrier that blocked out any disturbances without failure, as well as stopping all sound from escaping to the outside.

Coming closer to observe, the two seemed to be enveloped in a field, the larger silhouette releasing surging purple energy could be identified as Spencer, sitting opposite to him sat Caster who was slowly absorbing the energy Spencer released. Time passing, the two came out of their meditation and focused on each other.

"How does it feel"-Spencer said addressing Caster

Looking at herself, she responded.

"Strange"-Caster said making a confused expression

Smiling at her expression, Spencer patted her head and ruffled her hair.

"You'll get used to it"-Spencer

Since the awakening of Casters powers a few months back due to the meteorite, she has been under the constant watch of Spencer to help her maintain control, the abilities she awakened were mysterious, it appeared that she could absorb the energy around her and use it as she sees fit, but the downside was that she had no control of when her abilities would activate. Spencer discovered her abilities when he noticed a massive change in her life force when compared to the others, along with the fact that she almost killed her brothers when her powers activated as she embraced them.

Since then, Spencer has been keeping her close to prevent her from harming anyone else, while trying to teach her control as best as he could. Spencer, on the other hand, was a different story, his abilities were much more phenomenal in their capabilities, they seemed to have absolutely no end to how they could be applicated by him.

From manifesting objects into reality to changing the very world around him, Spencer's abilities were only limited by his imagination and the source of his powers seemed to have no boundary, with every waking moment he only felt more and more powerful, though he couldn't help but feel that he was constantly on the verge of losing control of his power.

The brothers themselves have not developed any abilities, although Spencer felt that he should do something about this, having others gain some form of power would allow for his kingdom to have better protection and be much more of a threat in the future, the thought of allowing his entire kingdom to be filled with metahumans ran through his mind occasionally, and he was very tempted to do so, but, he was also very hesitant.

He did not have the means to keep the potential future metahumans under control. Spencer released his hand from Caster's head and backed away, reaching what he deemed to be a good enough distance, he raised his hand and spoke.

"I want you to try and attack me however you can"-Spencer

Hearing Spencer's words, Caster was extremely hesitant, but upon seeing the carefree smile plastered on his face, she relaxed and nodded her head. Holding her hands forward, Caster began to strain herself trying to use her powers to attack Spencer, but nothing was happening.

Seeing this scene, Spencer couldn't help but admire how adorable Caster looked at the moment, he wanted to run up and hug her, but he held himself back.

"Having trouble?"-Spencer

Caster only nodded her head, slightly embarrassed.

"How about instead of trying to force it, try letting it come naturally"-Spencer

Listening to his suggestion, Caster loosened herself and began to breathe deeply. Placing her hands forward once more, strands of energy began to leak from her body and converge at her palms, the energy formed into an unstable ball of energy that continued to fail in maintaining its shape.

Looking at the sorry excuse of an energy ball, Spencer only shrugged his shoulders and spoke.

"Nvm, I think you should focus on maintaining that energy ball for the time being"-Spencer

Caster was slightly discouraged from Spencer's words, but she continued to try and form the ball of energy in her palms with extreme focus. Spencer didn't fail to notice her slight discouragement and decided to give her a little encouragement.

Harnessing his essence, Spencer generated six orbs of purple energy above his head and made them float around him like bees.

"If you keep practicing, you can use this little trick to show off to your brothers"-Spencer said grinning at Caster

Caster only smiled at his actions, but Spencer could notice that she started to take it a little more seriously from the energy ball stabilizing.

"I'll leave you to your practice, if you get tired or hungry feel free to make use of the living area"-Spencer said making an opening in the energy field and floating to the outside.

.

Right now Spencer could be seen sitting around a table in his castle accompanied by Quintus and his family, Quintus sat on a chair to Spencer's left while his wife and two sons were seated to his right.

"We need to talk"-Spencer

The reason why Spencer brought Quintus and his family to his castle was to discuss a drastic change that could decide the fate of the entire kingdom and its people, but most importantly the fate of his family.

Sending glances to everyone at the table, Spencer began to speak.

"Do you all remember what happened with Caster a few months back?"-Spencer

As Spencer spoke about the event that transpired, Yarok and Hopi shivered at the mere memory of what happened, how they were almost placed on the edge of death by the innocent embrace of their little sister.

"I know it has been some time since the incident, and I know you all are worried, but she's fine. what we are about to talk about is more important"-Spencer

Quintus, Rose, Yarok, and Hopi all looked at Spencer strangely, they couldn't understand what he was getting at. Putting his hands together, Spencer Spoke.

"How would you all like to be apart of a higher power?"
