I woke laying on a table with a bright white light shining above me. I hear voices arguing near me. I close my eyes and pretend to be unconscious.

"You pushed her too hard," said an unfamiliar voice.

"Sir, she would not listen to me," said the voice I recognized as my trainer.

"So? You cannot go around slapping and over working our Elementals. What if you had broke her? Do you know how useful a person who can see into the future be to empower The Intelligent?"

"Yes, sir," my trainer replied.

"Good. Now, understand this, I am your boss as you are hers. You will do what I say. Got it?"

"Yes, sir."

There is a pause between the conversation. I typing of a keyboard and the clicking of a computer mouse.

"Alright. Now let's talk about Elemental #142. The one who can read minds," the unfamiliar voice said. I think you could see my ears perk up.

"Yes. What about her, sir?"

"Well, I understand that you train her as well. I have been noticing that she has been showing symptoms of stress. I need you to... calm her. Do some fun activities with her. Being stressed will only cause her Privilege to work less well."

"Understood, sir," my trainer replied.

I heard some shuffling, and the unfamiliar voice mumble, "I think the anesthesia is wearing off... that's better."

And everything went black.
