Anna wrote:Images. Anna saw through the eyes of the man she was connected to. It was strange seeing through another's, physical eyes. For a moment, she just reveled in the feeling of being able to see normally again. For a moment, she almost lost her hold on Fate, on the vision, on what she was trying to find.

But Anna snapped back quickly.

Another image. Anna even winced at the look of the battered and beaten woman the medics brought in. Ne'aol's emotions toward her washed over Anna and if the girl could cry, she might have. She watched the life return to the woman's body, she felt the spark flare up again the shell of a person, transforming it into a living being again.

And here was how Fate would punish her.

Small machines sipped through the woman's body, and what was what they could see, but suddenly, Anna began to feel the agony the center of Ne'aol's concentration was going through. It, frankly, wasn't anything worse than what Legion put her though, but rather than having one dark entity squirming through her mind, she felt like she had thousands upon thousands of small creatures coursing through her blood stream. Subconsciously her grip on the man's face tightened and she threw back her head, a cry of pain issuing forth from her lips.

And that wasn't all.

Because their minds were linked, Ne'aol would be hard pressed not to feel the same thing Anna was feeling, the same thing he was watching. The ripping, burning sensation of one's body being reconstructed from the inside out. It would certainly not be a pleasant feeling.


*It was the most curious sensation. At first it wasnt too bad, intriguing with a slight bite to it. Bearable really. But that soon turned to anguish and then everything went black...*

Anna wrote:With force of sheer will Anna ripped her hand away from the man and leaped away from him, falling to her knees and lowering her head. Where the images and feelings would probably leave Ne'aol's mind and body, they would only repeat and intensify within the Seer's. She attempted to order her mind, to expel Fate's influence from it completely. Blood pumped through her vanes. Her heart rate had skyrocketed. She reached inside her vest and clasped the dark, accursed dagger in her hand. With trembling, she allowed its tainted edge to split her skin near her wrist. Dark, crimson blood oozed from the small, but still present wound. Almost instantly the young Seer relaxed her shoulders. The vision was broken. Phantom agony was shattered by real pain.

With quick motions, she slipped the blade away, its black sith markings now glowing crimson with pleasure at what had just taken place. She shivered slightly, shaking her head and standing to her feet. From her tightened, concentrated expression, came a meek, timid mask that covered her face, and her voice matched it.


I'm.... I'm so sorry.

She looked down at the small cut she had inflicted on herself, and clasped it in her other hand.

I never know what will happen. I just know that I can find your missing person.

She looked up at him, the blind fold over her eyes, covering a good portion of her expression from Ne'aol's perception.


I mean...If you still want me to look...

Oh, he'd cast her away for sure, Tell her he never wanted to see a creature like her again. She was ready for that, she supposed. And so, rather timidly, she stood there, awaiting his answer, his reaction.


*It was in that instant that I - Hugr - took over his mind. We were still cautious of this man's mind, fearful that he would one day destroy himself due to the memories locked away deep down. Looking up at the young girl I force a smile, unnatural to me seeing as I don't normally have access to a mouth*

Of course. Please continue Anna. I will... manage the difficulties ahead

*I knew what it was doing to her. I reveled in it actually as I normally do in such situations. Right now I was so close to her I could sense her anguish and deep down inside I couldn't wait to feel it first hand. To be honest I wasn't sure how much of it she could take. This was an experiment for me. This time I would take from her whatever pain she felt and see how long she could hold on.

Joy. Elation.*

Re: Skip 1

Anna paused for a moment. Something had just happened. A surge of force energy had just rippled around them. Perhaps it was this man's way of dealing with the Agony she'd caused him. Lowering her expression she nodded.

Alright....

She sighed, and then sat on the ground, still quavering from the pain she'd put herself through. Muttering something under her breath, probably to the unseen entity Fate, she lowered her head, now knowing the identity of the woman she was looking for.

And so, she opened her mind to the all seeing eye of the force, and let it radiate out from her in slow, even, rippling strands. The waves of searching energy were powerful at their center. They would reach far, farther than most practiced masters in the art. But what Anna would find...would confuse her. Two directions, millions of miles apart. Suddenly the Seer jerked her head up and tilted her head.


She's... uh... well, She's in two places....

She said in a confused voice.

But, one's much closer than the other.....

Re: Skip 1

*Even as she looked up at me I was able to see what she saw. I held open the curtains far enough for us both to witness and for me it too was an experience*

Yes... Yes I can feel it.

*A grin crossed my lips as I too could see where the lady De'ath was. Here on this station. As I looked around I could not help but feel elation, a feeling that would have been passed along to the young woman Anna. It was pure, unadulterated pleasure and I reveled in it*

Do you feel that? Anna do you know this feeling?

*I looked down at her with a grin. I wondered if this was easy for her...


How could I use this?*


Anna, I am going to show you something, something that you have not foreseen.

*Her vision had not ended, but I ushered her to her feet with an extended hand, while the other seemed to part the fabric of space behind me revealing a gently lit meadow. Three suns cast a yellow blue hue on the lush flora of the unknown planet as one of two moons moved across the horizon. This I showed to her as though she were seeing it through eyes unbridled. As I turned my head I revealed myself as a new from.
Instead of just a man, I became as a winged man, with feathers of the purest white as the light from the portal behind me cast a golden hue against my blonde white hair that rode down my back. Adorned in robes of white I gently smiled at her with the bluest of eyes, suppressing the hints of smugness that made me who I am.*


Please, Anna... Come with me.

*I released through the Force the greatest feeling of love and pleasure anyone could have given. This was her vision, it had seamlessly run into her mind from the ripples of time around her in one continuous vision.*

Re: Skip 1

Anna shivered slightly as a new sensation washed over her...one she wasn't expecting....one that was, comforting, thrilling. Lowering her head for a moment her body relaxed and she stood as the man helped her to her feet. Turning her blinded eyes to him, she suddenly gasped, startled at the image she saw. For it wasn't Ne'aol anymore...it was something almost liken to pure divinity.

If she could blink she would have. Rather, she took a startled step back, because, this didn't feel like she was seeing it through the force. It was like those long dead and useless optic sensors in the back of her mind had been reawakened to be used once more,

to see again.

She shivered again, and listened to his request, his questions. When she thought of his first, did she know this feeling, a sudden, almost frightened jolt ran through her and she gasped again. Because this reminded her so much of that feeling of elation Legion had tempted her with, that thing he'd used to calm her rebelling mind right after the punishment he'd put her through for her sin against his collective consciousness.

And then the man asked her to go with him...and he seemed so different from the previous. Her breath caught in her throat as she attempted to respond. And she couldn't keep the shaky almost fearful tone from her voice.


I .... I don't know if ....I should.

The dagger quavered under her vest, almost pressing itself against her chest, as if delighted at her wondering thoughts to its creator. Clinching her teeth she ignored it, taking another slow, shaky step back.

Re: Skip 1

*A grin crossed my lips, it was almost maniacal but my eyes shone in kindness, gleamed in gentleness and the words that flowed from my lips were as smooth as honey*

Perhaps then...

*I had contemplated my response. How could I entice her to come with me and I with her? Immediately I began feeding her a calm aura, indescribable in Basic... the closest word that I myself could conjure for such an experience would be "beautiful" Unseen by the eyes, and not felt by the body. It existed only through the force and through it into the mind. I had to manipulate her feelings, subtly.

It was a connection that existed as a thread, almost unnoticed and lasting but for only the briefest of moments before I ended it all.*


Maybe you shouldnt.

*The world I had constructed for her collapsed and her vision returned to normal. With a crash, reality came back and the scene around us was frozen in time. I Appeared to her once again as Ne'aol. I waited for her to regain her vision and her breath*

I know your scars. I have seen them. I know what they did to you... and I want to remove every mark they left on you. But this is a decision you alone have to make. I can not make you do anything.

*She couldn't see my heart, but if it had a smile it would be a truly malicious one indeed. Even if she said no, this would not end up as a fruitless endeavor. Instead it would test my ability to manipulate her vision even moreso. A Yes would just let me to directly control her.

Whether she knew it or not, she was mine*

Re: Skip 1

Anna watched Ne'aol closely as he changed forms again. The strange, beautiful feeling waved throug her and she shivered with it's presence. The world collapsed, the feeling vanished, and her vision faded to black, before the strands of the force began to knit a visitable pattern before her again. Reaching up, she adjusted her blind fold again, a brief bout of disappointment washing over. It had all ended, just so...quickly, as quickly as it had began. But she had to remain firm, level headed, smart. This was almost the exact same way Legion had gotten a hold of her, and she refused to let that happen again.

So, she listened, and took note of everything. What she found was surprising, bothersome. When she had first met the ancient being, he'd been kind of surprised to see someone like her. They had spoken a bit, and not really gotten to know eachother. But for some reason, his sudden shift in attitude bothered the Seer. First he'd wanted her to find his friend... and then, after she'd found ...her, in two places, he seemed to completely forget about it.

Now he seemed worried about her own personal scars... and how could he see them? Perhaps his understanding of the force had something to do with it...but why here? Why now? Shouldn't they go looking for the girl first? Shouldn't they finish what they had started.

The dagger at her chest quavered warningly, and she lowered her head.


Who are you?

She asked. She didn't need the demonic blade to tell her there was the bitter taste of deceit in the air. It whispered it to her anyway. Her position became more firm, more rigid as she spoke again.

Something's changed... You're different.

She said authoritatively . For a blind person, Anna had trained herself to be perceptive .... it was part of being who she was.

It was part of being a Seer.

Re: Skip 1

*A grin crossed my lips even though the game had long ago started. She asked the one question Im not sure that even I could answer...*

That my dear is a very good question. I am not the man you bumped into here on this tiny floating pile of dust. No, in fact his consciousness is locked away in a comatose patient many parsecs away. You did meet him however, but as soon as the jolt from your mind began waking him, I had to step in.

*I turned my body to begin pacing and as soon as I took a step the entire world went dark save for a single spotlight that followed me across an unbreaking silver and gold speckled granite floor. Its surface reflective but it did not reflect me*

You see my dear I am an immortal. One whose existence is trumped by only a few nameless beings whose glory is far more exceedingly grandiose than anything you can imagine. Yet I am a lowly servant to them, a messenger to bring one magnificent being the daily news. I however am not alone as I have a brother who walks the halls of the mighty with me! Thankfully, he is not present here at this time, as he is the more malicious of us both.

*As I pace back and forth before Anna, I speak with a grand tone and use my hands far more than I should. Realizing this I fold them behind me and turn to face her*

My very young dear my name is Hugin, and I am at your service.

*I bend at the waist, in a long bow before looking up momentarily before standing upright once again. The world around us once again resumes its normal appearance*

Now then my dearest Anna. You mustn't worry about the man Ne'aol. He is in very capable hands, and the woman you were looking for is not important, however it did reveal to me your magnificent power and for that I thank you.
