    Swarm: The Mistress was scared. The swarm could feel it through their connection with her, but none of them could truly understand why. They felt it as she issued the first of her commands, pulling them back from the scent of the strange cave where the other mistress had dwelt. The other mistress had been so much stronger than the first, and stronger made for greater prey. None among the swarm could see why that should be a thing to fear. Perhaps it was the smooth ones that had begun to hun

    Casper: Casper grinned down at the tiny flower pot that Mel had placed before him, sweat trailing a thin line from his brow to the lining of his shirt. He’d done it. It had taken three tries, and what had felt like the mental equivalent of a three hundred pound deadlift, but he’d done it. He wiped the moisture from his face with a sleeve and turned to his teacher, giddy. “I did it!” He crowed. “I made a flower!” “You made a daffodil,” Mel corrected from her seat off to the side, g

    Indeedly so.

    Hehe. I've never seen that before.

    You're welcome 🙂

    Heh. That movie's been mentioned to me before on this chapter. Honestly, I'd never heard of The Birds before I wrote this, but Hitchcock was a cool dude. And nah. Peter doesn't really have any ability to 'sense' powers. That's an incredibly rare power. As for why Granny's being secretive, that's a good question.
  7. Rhythminthemind
    Indeed.

    Swarm: The hunting birds were brought forth in a dark, cramped space. They couldn’t see the sky, and that made them panic. There was noise in the cave. The shouting of apes and flashes of bright, loud power. It drove them to a frenzy. They needed to be out, to be free. This cave was filled with power and noise; why had the masters brought them here? The apes smelled of power. Developed power, far too much of it for them to hunt. The prey had to be weaker. They had to get out. They were

    "Well, this must be going to take a different view of the mythical world; as elves in general are always a friend to mankind..." Well, not for nothing, their perspective in the Bex chapter did describe humanity as "cattle to farm". So, probably not mankind's bestest bosom friends in this narrative universe, yeah.

    Haven't seen that movie. That said, good call. They're in the subway, and it hasn't been abandoned so much as evacuated. As for what they're gonna be doing in New York, I guess we're gonna see.
  11. Rhythminthemind
    Yep, and good question, Mikedup.
  12. Rhythminthemind
    Oh yeah? Anything I can help clear up for you?

    Jackie was the woman who teleported Peter to Paris back in like, chapter eight or something. As for Bex's dream, I will point out. That chapter wasn't a dream sequence. It was a flashback. But yes. Lotsa spaghetti. 😛

    Strangers: The gate bloomed forth in the shadows, hidden well below the urban sprawl that spanned from end to end of the human metropolis. They emerged in a tunnel, underground, the gloom around them near enough all encompassing. By the light flooding forth from the other side of the gate, they could see the iron tracks that lay along the uneven ground. The man knew by experience that these structures were for moving great carts of men and women from one end of the vast city to the other. H

    Casper: It took nearly two hours, all said, for Casper to find what he was looking for. Even with a calm achieved, itself a task that he doubted he would have managed without his teacher’s mind as a reference, it took him a while to find the right part of himself. It wasn’t, as Freja had described, like a light inside his mind. He had tried envisioning it that way at first, and it had felt stilted, out of shape. When he finally found it, the idea it brought to mind was, for him, something a

    It's an interesting thought, but I won't be saying one way or the other whether or not it's true. Guess we'll just have to see where the story goes.

    I mean, potentially. That said, he's using his powers on Marcus in the scene, and Marcus is like, twenty three ish. So he does have some effect on adults. Whether he's more effective on children is something that I honestly hadn't considered. It's worth contemplating. Thanks.
  18. Rhythminthemind
    Yep.
  19. Rhythminthemind
    Heh. Freja makes me smile. Crazy in a good way is an apt description.
  20. Rhythminthemind
    I can think of ways to use it responsibly. Consent plays a big factor. It's a good powerset for a doctor, for example, healing injuries while applying stress relief.
  21. Rhythminthemind
    True on both counts.
  22. Rhythminthemind
    Interesting idea.

    Father: “I’m sorry, Father. She got away from us.” Marcus stared at the ground as he spoke, apparently unable to bring himself to look upon his father’s face. “I see,” he replied, his voice even, deciding to let the boy stew in his remorse for the time being. “Can you tell me how she got away?” Marcus nodded, his body slumping slightly in his seat as he began to recite the events of the night passed. “She had a friend,” He mumbled. “We never saw them, but they were blasting t
  24. Rhythminthemind
    Heh. Here's hoping that's a good thing.
  25. Rhythminthemind
    I also think they'd be friends.
