With a partially cloudy sky that blocked out just the right amount of sun and a cool breeze that seems to blow through the window at just the right time me, my sister, mother, and father were currently in a car heading out to a midday picnic.

Due to my father Jerad Stephenson having a rare off day during the week due to the nations founder days my mother thought it was a good idea to go on a little outing. She also mentioned that she invited another mother that she had been getting along with.

"Jerad, Angela just messaged me and said they're already at the park."

"Ok, we shouldn't be to far from it ask them where they will set up."

"Alright, I wonder..."

With my parent conversing and my sister sleeping it allowed me to converse with Vee and Zinnias without any interruptions.

It's now been about 2 years since the formation of my pseudo core and with that the connection with Zinnias.

During this time Zinnias and Vee have conversed so much you would think they were best friends, but it begged the question why Zinnias didn't find something like Vee unusual.

The reason for this was something that I actually experienced right before coming to this world; Vee explained that same mind clouding sensation that was done to me to stop me from questioning things was used on Zinnias.

This made them believe that something like Vee was normal and didn't warrant any questioning.

While this made things easier on me it also caused me to think back to the time it happened to me and infuriated me every so slightly.

'Hey Vee, how much longer do you think it will take for my blessed core to mature.'

Currently I couldn't use Edirem as a source for spellcasting with my pseudo core since my blessed core hasn't matured yet so by using the same method we used to create the pseudo core I have been pulling in Edirem manually instead of letting it happen naturally to try to speed up the process.

'[Based on the current rate of growth I would say it could happen within the next two month's.]'

'Hmm were in the final stretch huh.'

Yawwwwn

I guess because of my parents waking me up early because of our plans I'm still slightly sleepy.

'I should at least rest my eyes for the little bit of time we have left, but Zinnias can you go ahead of us and find the most Edirem dense region in the area.'

'Sure'

'Thank you'

I wanted to make use of my ever so rare outing to harvest some Edirem using the breathing technique I learned from Vee two years ago and I'm guessing I will have some free time during this picnic so I decided to plan ahead.

After about twenty minutes we arrived at the park, once there we were greeted by a relatively tall women with dark black hair and eyes who I could only assume was Angela.

"Sophie, it's great to see you."

"You to Angela, where is your family?"

"They're setting up the spot right now, I came back to the parking lot to take you there."

After giving me and my sister a quick glance Angela smiled and returned her attention to my mother.

"Shall we head over no?"

"Lead the way."

They both smiled at each other while walking side by side, while my father gathered a few things from the car and beckoned me and my sister to follow along.

"Lue, Bridgett lets go!"

We walked for a short while before reaching the place, waiting for us was what I could only assume was Angela husband and daughter.

"This is my Husband Jeffery, and my daughter Amy."

My sister immediately ran up to Amy while smiling and seemed to effortlessly start a conversation.

'I guess this is the ability of a grade school extrovert'

'[It could also be that you simply lack basic conversation skills due to most of your conversation being in your head.]'

'Vee has a point maybe you should make an effort to talk to more people, how else will you handle school.'

'You both really didn't have to hit me where It hurts.'

As I was conversing with the voices in my head it seemed that my facial expression changed and my mother took notice.

"Lue are you alright?"

"I'm fine mother I was just amazed at how easily Bridgett seems to make friends."

"I guess she takes after me in that regard, while you take after your father more."

My father was an Edirem researcher, this meant he spent most of his time in front of a computer or a lab so he was a more aloof, and had shinning black hair and clear pale skin which signified that he didn't spend much time outside.

I'm guessing this is another reason why my mother wanted to come on a picnic today.

"I guess so."

After introducing ourselves to one another the four adults sat together on a big blanket while us "kids" sat together on a smaller blanket next to theirs.

"Amy, how old are you?"

"I just turned four, what about you?"

Hearing her voice I was surprised that she could keep up with my sister's energy it was a quite and shy voice that made me feel a sympathy for her as fellow introvert.

"I'm six. Four huh that's the same age as Lue."

At the mention of my name I acknowledged that Bridgett was correct by nodding my head while picking up an egg salad sandwich from the basket filled with an array of sandwiches and taking a bite.

It was quite delicious.

"Umm..if you don't mind asking if you're six bridgett does that mean you have a blessed core ability?"

At the mention of a "blessed core" I wanted to steer the conversation away from the topic, my sisters seemed to pick up on my change in attitude since she showed me a relaxed smile.

"It's okay Lue." She took a deep breath before continuing. "Just like my mother I don't have an ability and I probably never will but I have mostly gotten over it."

Just as my sister said once her blessed core matured about a year ago no ability manifested with it, she was sad for a while but she slow started to get over it.

"I'm sorry if I hurt your feeling by brining it up."

"It's okay, plus we have our little genius Lue who I know will get an ability."

"Sis, please stop telling everyone you meet that."

Around my second birthday my sister caught me mumbling complex words while I was talking to Vee one morning, this caused her to believe that I'm some sort of genius.

Luckily my parents just take it as a sister giving empty praises to her younger brother so I have avoid causing my parent's to worry.

"Anyways Amy, Lue hurry and finish eating so we can explore the park a little."

"Sure lets play hide and seek once were done if that okay with you Amy."

"I don't mind."

"Great, sis your going to be the first seeker since you're the oldest."

"HUUH, I don't want to but since my cute little brother asked I guess I'll do it."

"Great"

'Zinnias how far is the place I asked you to search for?'

'It's about one kilometer from here.'

'Alright once they start playing will head there.'

'[Lue, don't you think it's would be better for you social skills if you actually interacted with Amy and your sister rather than running off on your own.]'

'What's more important preventing my eminent recluse lifestyle, or preparing for what's to come.'

'[...]'

'No witty comebacks, glad were on the same page.'
