Seeing as how Matthias had sussed him out as an Awakened, Avery asked the man more about what he knew about the subject.
Despite being the one with powerful psionic abilities, there was very little that Avery knew about himself and others like him.
"I suppose that's only fair. I'm happy to tell you what I know." Matthias replied.
As it turned out, he started with a topic Avery had not been expecting. The origins of those that were most commonly called Awakened.
There were multiple theories, but the most credible one was that some experiment millennia ago caused a mass mutation event that changed a large population's genetic code.
Without knowing this, these people had children and over time their progeny developed powerful psionic abilities over many generations.
Though, it must have been a rare occurrence, seeing as how very few people ever became Awakened, even if they had the potential to do so.
Something Avery mentally confirmed from what his mother had told him.
