The Alchemist Part 7

Arrielle and Dave are talking about what has transpired the last time they were confronted by Donovan Stratton.

Arrielle: Dave, what's going on here? Why is Donovan after me?

Dave: Arrielle, let me explain. Did you take a trip somewhere many years ago?

Arrielle: I was on a yoga retreat in Tibet.

Dave: Did you feel or see anything strange happen the time you were there?

Arrielle: All I remember was that one night, I thought I saw purple light engulfing the city. I was trying to get back to the tour group but had to stay behind.

Dave: Did you feel weird or did you notice anything different since that trip?

Arrielle: When I got back I felt different electrical sensations in my fingers.

Dave: Like static shock when you touch metal?

Arrielle: Yes. What does my trip to Tibet have something to do with Donovan after me?

Dave: I believe anyone that was in that area got hit with that purple light. For many years people are chosen to help others in many ways that just ordinary human abilities. I felt this time you are one of the chosen ones to help. There are more like you and as a result, people like Donovan have been awakened to take your abilities or use you for the evil purposes.

Arrielle: What's your role in all of this?

Dave: Your guide.

Arrielle: Guide for what?

Dave: To help you with enhancing your alchemist abilities.

Arrielle: What if I decide not to do this?

Dave: You can make that choice but now that Donovan is aware of your abilities, he will send his associates after you.

Arrielle: Can't I just call the police or sue him?

Dave: You saw what he can do right in front of your eyes. You saw what I can do with my hands.

Arrielle: I want to live a normal life. I can't do this....

Dave: What if I told you, you have abilities that surpass mine and one day your abilities will stop people like Donovan or stronger entities.

Arrielle: I will have to think about it.

Dave: I will be around as your guide. You are more powerful than you think Arrielle...
