—[1st Person Pov— Ezekiel]—
It was safe to say that after revealing my little supernatural ability, everything suddenly started going haywire.
I was surprised though at the fact that nothing major happened at my show and tell of sorts.
I half expected for some of the 100 to develop fear of me, maybe even try to burn me for being a witch or something but now that I think about it, that was foolish thinking.
Instead of the fearful or apprehensive looks I was expecting, I got looks of reverence instead.
The other 100 besides those in my 'circle' now looked at me as if I was the next Jesus or something.
Okay, maybe not the next Jesus but something close.
Heck, even their obedience towards me strengthened.

This was just one of many of 'my' people that now would do almost anything for me.
Finding out that everyone had their own jobs was a suprise though.
[— Their 'Jobs' work differently from yours, after all you alone host the system.
Their jobs instead boost their affinity towards said jobs skills if they learn the skills related to their jobs, this makes it easier for them to understand and grow in that 'job'.]
Flinching a bit as I heard the voice and text on a screen popping up infront of my eyes, I was still not accustomed to there being a little helper inside my head.
' I see.' I thought still frowning as I stared outside.
The camp had gotten back to relative normalcy.
As normal as I can think anyway.
There were the hunters training a distance on a small field that had been made over the course of me being leader, cooks were preparing food while the guard were protecting the wall and our resources.
My gaze slowly went over to one cabin, where two guards were guarding, Munroe and Harper. They even when I was going through my 'metamorphosis' stood guard over our only prisoner from this war.
I still thought that we should have killed her but I couldn't disregard the benefits of using her as a diplomatic asset.
After all, we were still at war.
Sighing to myself as pulled myself from my thoughts and focused on my surroundings.
We were sitted on the council cabin, there were more people this time then I remembered, even some that had no place in the council but due to circumstances we made an exception.
After my little display of supernatural might the others had taken me here, scared that my little display might instill fear from the crowd.
" So?" Bellamy asked, staring at me causing me to frown.
" So what?" I asked, a bit confused about what he was actually asking me.
" Oh come on Ezekiel, we both know that you know or have an idea about why this—" He said throwing his hands around" Is happening."
" Why would you think I'd know why the fuck any of this is happening?" I asked, a small smile on my face literally giving away that I actually did know something, by the looks from some of the more intellectual and perceptive few I was sure they got that hint.
" I don't know Zek, you have shown time and time again that you know what you're doing and let's not even mention some of the bullshit you cook up on a daily—" Raven pointed out leaning on the wall" Heck, you've literally created what I can only assume are enhancement serums or steroids that have granted mostly all of us here supernatural physiques."
" The thought that you created something that gave you superpowers isn't so farfetched when you've proven to be able to do the impossible time and time again." Raven finished, everyone nodded at her deductions and dissecting at her words I found something that I could use.
' They...think I made something to give me superpowers?....I can use that.' I thought as my mind went miles concocting a lie that didn't stray too far from what raven deduced.
" If you don't want to tell us now, we'll understand." Bellamy said making Murphy roll his eyes being one of the people that would probably not be understanding.
" After the Radiux fruits got leaked to the grounders, I think that knowing that something like whatever Ezekiel made exists will just put us in more danger, so us not knowing would be the safer option." Octavia said agreeing with her brother.
Hearing that I paused, they had just given me the perfect excuse to not tell them anything, I could just say that I was still figuring stuff out and leave it there and they wouldn't hound me for answers...yet.
But I didn't want to do that, I didn't want to keep on hiding my capabilities anymore, especially now.
But I was surprised though, about how accepting Bellamy and Octavia were and even opting to give me an escape, I had not realised that they were that trusting of me.
So it was no surprise that I used [Observe] on them.

' That was not what I wanted....' I thought frowning.
I had wanted to look at their 'trust' counter, I knew that I could do that so I strained my skill [Observe] willing for what I actually wanted.
[—Ding! Skill Failure! Insufficient Skill Level.]
' Okay, note, put some skill points into that.'
" No, I think I should tell you guys." I said sighing and leaning back on my chair, channelling as much of my acting as possible.
' Why haven't I obtained a fucking [Acting] skill yet anyway?' A stray thought made it way into the forefront of my mind before quickly being dismissed.
" Before the battle, I found something while outside the walls." I muttered getting ready to lie, again.
" You went out? When?" Clarke asked, more out of worry then anything else I could perceive.
" It was while everyone was busy." I lied whilst giving them a vague answer.
" What did you find?" Monty asked seemingly the most invested in all this, it was no surprise seeing as he was also one of the people most interested in my salves and mixtures.
" I found this." I muttered while reaching into a bag by my side and bringing out the [Vital-Soul Fruit[SS-]-]
" Another one?" Jasper asked staring at the fruit seemingly amazed not only at the fact that I found another 'fruit' but at the fruits design.
It was a mixture of a dragon fruit and some red flower I had copied the genetic structure off, which also reminded me that I'd need to do that again, with the flora having mutated and everything.
" Okay, you found another radiux fruit, so what?" Miller asked having been quiet for a while.
" Alone?" I asked before shrugging." I have no idea."
" Huh?" Came Ravens bewildered voice.
" I think I obtained my 'power' due to the fact that I mixed a couple things alongside the radiux fruit with another one of these fruits." I told them before watching them, looking for any note of disbelief but luckily only bewilderment and strange looks were thrown at me.
" I don't mean any offence when I say this but, can you stop eating every weird fruit you see? Please?" Raven interjected, looking worn alongside her red jacket.
" I'm with raven on that one." Octavia chimed in too looking at me as if I was stupid.
" So you mixed up a couple fruits and plants and then you got your... Ability?" Bellamy asked getting the conversation back to track and I simply nodded.
" Can you do it again?" Murphy asked staring at the fruit in my hand.
" Do what again?" I asked again feigning ignorance to their question.
" Can you make that 'potion' again?" Jasper cleared up accentuating the word 'potion' still not used to their existence.
At that I paused.
There was no potion to speak off so saying yes would definitely out me as a liar but saying no would also just be as suspicious, especially to Murphy.
So once more I had to lie.
" Maybe, if I had time to research it."
There was just no end to these lies I finally realised.
