Shana added two tablespoons of flour for each egg and then poured some milk into the mixing bowl, until it looked good. A little bit of salt.

"You can mix it."

She told Flid and stepped back.

"It needs to be thin, we can easily add more milk. but mix it a bit first, so that we can have a look at its consistency."

Flid nodded, and stirred the batter.

He frowned, as a gemstone on the table lit up, but he ignored it.

Something just happened.. Things happen a lot. Not like this, this is important. The spren mused.

He looked at Bliss, concerned. What is it? Voidbringers? No. The spren was silent, and simply looked at the sphere.

Shana left, gave him a thumbs up and Rob wasn’t sure to do. She left to make pancakes, and Rob just sort of stood there awkwardly, not sure what to say. She wanted answers. Rob knew she probably wouldn’t just ‘forget’ this little incident. So the only solution was to tell her the rest, right?

“Uh, we could go to my room,” he said. He looked to the living room. “Or we can just talk on the couch. Either one is fine.”

“I vote we go to your room.” Ashlyn says, and gives him a smile.

Shana picked up the gemstone and look at it confused, then she put it down again. Strange things happened now and then.

She heated a pan and started to make pancakes.

Evelyn was back on the street. She held her book in two hands, staring at it in surprise. She had just barely knocked out a voidbringer who'd been attacking Shana without her powers. With a book. A faint smile tugged at her lips. Who said reading was for nerds?

She began to hear sirens behind her and turned, small pebbles grinding beneath her feet. A police car was just coming into sight, driving fast, when the world flashed red and pain exploded in her back. Her legs stopped working, and Evelyn was sent falling to the ground, vision already starting to go black.

She woke with a sort of half-cry, a searing pain in her back once more. She couldn't move, couldn't think, couldn't hardly breath it hurt so badly.

The pain lessened with time. Either that or she just got used to it. Eventually, she was able to stand, leaning heavily on things to stay upright. She didn't draw another aon - the last one hadn't worked after all - and she didn't even know for sure what was wrong. When she had tried twisting to look, she hadn't seen anything. So instead of trying another ineffectual aon, she went looking for Ben. Or Sawyer. Or anyone else who had the surge of progression. Evelyn headed downstairs, dressed in her normal jeans and shirt, with her maple leaf necklace hung around her neck. She had left her bag, though. Too heavy.

Evelyn noticed Ashlyn by the door with Rob and gave her a quick wave before heading to the kitchen, where she could hear people cooking. "Hey, has anyone seen Ben?" she asked, arriving at the door. The kitchen had a couple of people in it, so hopefully someone would answer. They appeared to be making pancakes.

“Oh, ok,” Rob said and nodded, turning to the stairs and gesturing Ashlyn to follow him. As they walked up the stairs Rib thought about what to say. He hadn’t really experienced teen awkwardness to a large degree before, he’d always thought it a myth from the movies, but as evident by now, it wasn’t.

“Do you have any questions to begin with?” Rob asked and opened the door to his room.

“Sorry,” he said. “I’ve been told it’s very plain.”

[Wyndlerunner he/him]

James nodded, "it is done." he said. "Now, is that pancakes I smell?" he said, as he walked to the entrance of his room, "I do believe I shall partake."

"He should be up soon."

Shana replied and pointed at a stool.

"Sit down, Mahad can take a look."

Her spren zipped away, looked for Glint.

Humming she put the first pancake on a plate and handed it to Evelyn.

"Here you are."

Mahad found Glint sitting on Ben’s shoulder, slowly spinning in a circle. Ben himself was sitting in a chair in his room, reading. He had woken up far earlier than he had expected, likely because of those unsettling dreams about the black sword. He had tried to walk downstairs but was too tired, so he had settled for reading instead. He didn’t usually eat breakfast anyways.

"Right now I have one question, what happened last night? And by that I mean what did you see, because I already know somethings hiding the truth from me." Ashyln says, following Rob.

Evelyn took the plate with a grateful smile and sat. Since Ben didn't seem to be up yet and she wasn't sure when he would be, Evelyn decided not to try and wait. She drew the aon she had used last night again. It had worked after all, if only temporarily.

If only temporarily, Evelyn mused as she ate. What if there was a way to prolong the effects? She could change some things in the aon to try to make it last longer, but that would probably mean she would either need to stay fairly close to the spot where she'd drawn the aon, or that she'd have an Aon following her around. It seemed as thought there should be a better way . . .

Back home they could engrave metal plates with aons to do different things. Like to create light or heat, or even to use aon Tia more safely. Could she try something like that? Maybe if she engraved the aon on a glass or metal disk . . . She could disguise it as a bracelet or necklace; alter the aon to give different amounts of power based on pain. It might work.

She finished the last couple bites of her pancake, took care of her dishes, and then rushed upstairs to start working on her idea.

If anyone has a reason why they don't think this should work, or just don't think it should happen, let me know and I can have the idea fail.

On another note, do you think that ordinary people would be able to use things created in that way, or would it still only work for elantrians?

Is this Doc swearing his oath? 

Looking up in shock, Cassie's eyes found his window, where light was beginning to show. It's morning already? Where did the time go? She looked back down at the Joyblade, then dismissed it, watching it poof away. Her spren didn't appear, though. Erasing her frown, she whispered, "I'm sorry I can't see you anymore." 

Ducking out of James's room, she navigated to the kitchen and grabbed an apple.

Mahad returned to Shana, fetched her. Shana finished the pancake she was making and then smiled at Evelyn.

"I'll be back soon, fetch Ben."

Quickly she headed upstairs and knocked on Ben's door. Worried she bounced on her feet. If he'd stayed upstairs, maybe he wasn't better yet. Or he simply read, or... He had to be fine.

I was thinking of Cassie's thing, but both work.

Ben was too distracted by his book to hear the knock, but Glint knew him well enough to inform him that someone was at his door.

”It’s open!”

He called. Normally he would have opened it himself, but he didn’t think that he was able to walk all the way over there.

nO SUGAR???! Are y'all eating tortillas? 

I'm guessing it's sunday now?

Leona walked downstairs, carrying a cake and Onyx in tow. "OH MY STARS! PANCAKES!"

 

 

[Wyndlerunner he/him]

James walked down the stairs, greeted by delicious pancakes in the kitchen. "Good morning everyone!"

[Bookish Ocelot she/her]

"Who wants cake?" Leona asked. "Also, morning James!"

"Morning Leona!" James replied with a wave and a smile. Though he couldn't help but worry about Cassie, and her curse. Storms, I hope she's ok he thought, 

That one? The Nightwatcher snorted haughtily, If I had such power, I would have refused her request. She asked something forbidden by our deepest laws. She will not grow from this, she will regress. It is as if I had to prune a mere sapling. The spren sighed A tree grown would survive such a pruning, and be stronger for it, but I fear I have permanently stumped her growth.

"Morning." said Edwin to everyone who had just arrived, the kitchen was getting livelier by the minute. Good thing they had started before everyone had decided to have breakfast. "Will anyone have seconds?"

[Bookish Ocelot she/her]

Leona slapped a hand over her heart. “Are you suggesting that my cake is not good enough?” she exclaimed in a mock-offended tone. “Because I recall you eating quite a bit of it yesterday and the day before that and the day before that...”

There's an innuedo here, I'm sure of it.

Flid grinned at her mock-offendedness. "Exactly! We need a break! We can't eat the same thing every day!"

[old man moomba he/him]

"If you attempt to serve me any more cake, I will smash it into a pulp!" Doc threatened, only half joking.

[Eluvianii he/him]

"Besides, can we serve cake AND pancakes at the same time? My stomach is aching from thinking about it."
