John Flamesinger Posted September 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Alyssa still didn't understand. And then a thought came to her. Failen. Can you hear me? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowLord_Lith Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) He froze, tensing as his eyes widened, blinking nervously. The voice was in his mind, but... it wasn't familiar. Majesty? But... no, you aren't my grandmother, so who... who are you? @John Flamesinger Edited September 17, 2019 by ShadowLord_Lith See, you aren't alone in this... :3 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Flamesinger Posted September 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 It's Alyssa. How do you have the ability of telepathy? It is very rare outside our species. John frowned at Alyssa and Failen. Alyssa stopped talking to him, and then Failen tensed up, his eyelids seeming as if they were having a seizure. Alyssa? Not now, her voice echoed distantly. Not now... Majesty? But... no, you aren't my grandmother, so who... who are you? John stared in shock at Failen, and then resumed his pace. "We need to get to the lake." The two of you can continue this while we're walking, he thought, directing it at both of them. Then he stopped as the wall of fog became clear in the distance. A thought came through his mind, one he felt he wasn't supposed to hear. I. Do. Not. Listen. To. You. He blocked the message from the rest of the group, knowing that this was something that he shouldn't share. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowLord_Lith Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Failen followed, walking with them and feeling nervous. I'm not very skilled in it, but... all unicorns can do this. My father was one, so I am partly a unicorn... I normally only hear my grandmother in my mind. Why is your language so familiar? It's... It's... Like this, for me. He sent her what he'd heard from his perspective- how familiar yet unintelligible it was. Like hearing a language you know though a thick wall or covered by heavy static. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Flamesinger Posted September 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) The only reason you would recognize that is if you've heard it before... and Gathen haven't encountered Unicorns in over a Million Years... Interesting. She looked up, and stopped with John as she stared at the wall of fog. "John?" "I don't know." She eyed him suspiciously, and then heard something. I. Do. Not. Listen. To. You. Instantly She felt John wipe the memory from Failen, emboldened by a wave of power from Light Magic. But she resisted, and she worried about who it was from. Quote Just to make things clear, John normally can't temper with memories.

ShadowLord_Lith Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Quote I guessed as much. Failen blinked, hearing something and... losing it. That thought was consumed by worry and forgotten when they reached the mist. "Is it magic? Or do you think it's some kind of natural thing...?" He looked at the green-eyed human he'd spoken with earlier, wanting more than just John's view. Mainly because he liked the green-eyed human. Cheh, he thought his name was. Cheh was interesting, and nice. @I think I am here. Edited September 17, 2019 by ShadowLord_Lith Tags... you're welcome John! :) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That... you could also call it that.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Flamesinger Posted September 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) John relayed what Cheh and Failen had said to Alyssa, and she thought for a moment, before walking into the fog. There was a snapping sound behind the group and she stumbled out of the forest. She frowned when she saw the group and the fog ahead of them. Definitely Magical, she projected to John and Failen. Then she stopped, and looked at Jessy, Cenna, Rydin, and the two Stand users that had come to take Rydin.

Jessy grimaced, then got back to her feet and peered around a tree. She tried to see an enemy, when suddenly, there was a voice. Startled she looked up, knew it was inside your head. It gave her a mean headache, just like her biotics did, when she used them too long and too often. "Yes. And I am pretty sure I don't like it." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this, John turned around and raised his eyebrow at Alyssa. Blue? Really? I can't control how others see my thoughts. Uh huh. Cenna, have you heard something like this before? Voices, in your head she means. While this conversation of the mind was taking place, John answered Failen out loud. 8 hours ago, ShadowLord_Lith said: Failen blinked, surprised.

I have managed to fully contain mine to my blade however. Cenna shivers, remebering some of the things the voices said. Quote I'm changing up Cenna's equipment: Spoiler Steel longsword at her hip.

+Sorana Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Jessy looked at the others, listened to Cheh's explanation and then turned to John and Alyssa. "Who of you is it?" She asked loudly, mostly because she had no idea how to communicate wordlessly with them. And because she wasn't sure she liked it. @John Flamesinger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you maybe sense where things are, Cheh?" He looked at the man. @I think I am here. Cheh quietened. These people were strangers. If they used him as their only idea of what an earthbender was than Cheh was perfect. “Some people with my powers can,” he said. “I could develop the ability maybe, with enough time and practise, but now? I can’t. The thing is, green-eyed friend.” Cheh looked up at Failen. “I’m really weak for an earthbender.” He frowned and looked at everyone else. They seemed to be staring at each other in silence, almost as if they were having a conversation without words? “Who of you is it?” Jessy asked and Cheh had no idea what she meant so he shrugged. Whoever it was was, he didn’t think she was referring to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Flamesinger Posted September 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 6 hours ago, Sorana said: "Who of you is it?" "It's her," John said, nodding sharply in Alyssa's direction. "The EMP took out the translator she was using, since she's never learned English, but in the mind all languages are the same." He turned, and saw Cheh's confusion. "If you can't hear her, then don't worry. Most people can't." -------------------------- Sometimes, I wonder what would've happened if I was in charge, instead of my parents. But then I realized that it was for the best. There needs to be balance, and the Gathen were chosen last time. It's the Humans turn now, and they need the Gathen. Without Light Magic however, the Gathen would die, which means there also needs to be a Dark Magic. And Humanity would be without a guide if it wasn't for the Gathen. We are halfway through the lifetime of this Universe, and the Gathen can't help Humanity without Light Magic fully awake. My mother is needed soon, but the only thing that can wake her is a song of fire. It is for that reason I sent them help, with Failen and Cenna, and that is the reason why they need to wait for the star to supernova. It should only take a few hours, and then we shall see why they were put together, to help Light Magic. Are you sure this is the way, Grey? It has to be the way, for it's the only way. Very well, I will do my best. What if Dark - Dark won't find out. I'm on my way. Thank you, you two. I'm not sure what I would do without you. You're welcome. *You're Welcome ^* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowLord_Lith Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Failen looked at Cheh curiously, smiling. "That is interesting..." A person with room to grow... he liked people who weren't at their peak already, since he got to see them change and improve. "If I can ever help, let me know." He turned to look at John and Alyssa, curious about something. "What are your last names? Humans have them, normally... but you aren't human. Not like the kind I'm used to, at least... then again, neither is Cheh..." He smiled, a bit excited by that. Cheh wasn't like most humans he'd met, and neither were the others he was seeing. Both had something very distinctly different about them... John and Alyssa were might more heavily touched by light magic than the rest, and Cheh was almost completely without any magic he could recognize. This was new, and that made it interesting. @I think I am here. @John Flamesinger Edited September 19, 2019 by ShadowLord_Lith Forgot the tags again...

John Flamesinger Posted September 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) John frowned. Last names? Family titles and places in society, was perhaps the closest thing. "Flamesinger," he said. He relayed the question to Alyssa. Waterbreather, she thought to Failen in confusion. Why did he want to know? And wasn't it obvious by her 'hairdo' that covered her head?

+Sorana Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 "I wouldn't call you weak." Jessy interjected and smiled at Cheh. "Maybe you have room to improve, but what I've seen you do so far was pretty impressive." She sighed and then shook her head. "Translator, huh? Well, just make sure you only talk to me when it's neccessary. You give me a headache." Her fingers touched the scar in her neck, where her amp had been implanted years ago and suddenly she was glad that obviously it hadn't been affected. But it was't a technical device either. Still without her amp, she would be helpless, useless. And she disliked that feeling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Metalbending police, the Dai Li, the Avatar herself...” his eyes turned dreamy, and then he snapped out of the thought when John addressed him. There was some sort of thought-speak that was happening? How interesting. “I will definitely let you know if I need help,” he said to Failen. “So far, I metalbended once, while we were about to crash, but I haven’t been able to do it again since then.” He shrugged. “Maybe it was a fluke.” He looked at John. “And that thought-speak you guys have is cool. Like super long-distance radios?” Edited September 19, 2019 by I think I am here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, magic isn't a one tone use if it comes from yourself- I can make things glow, I can understand most languages, and I can purify things with a touch- but it makes me tired. I just need to wait for my magic to refill itself before using it again, and I'll be fine. Maybe your magic is different, though- you don't seem to really lose much when you do it... maybe you realized something in that moment... something important. Maybe you weren't even trying to 'bend' until you realized you could." He grinned, seeming happy. "You'll figure it out- and I can't wait to see your expression once you do." He smiled, thinking to Alyssa and John. Thank you. I like knowing the names if my friends. It lets me know more about then, and sometimes their family. Something tells me water breather is more of a title, though... He grinned. @John Flamesinger @I think I am here.

When the need arises again, you will find a way to influence metal again." She smiled at Failen and leaned against a nearby tree. "That is interesting. I never had the need to wait for my Biotics to refill themselves.

I gain more if i practice enough, or if I get older, but it's less certain than building muscle strength is. What are 'biotics'? I've never heard of that before." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
