[Video | Seelie Locked] 08 Shadows
[This is a teenager who looks tired, but isn't letting that stop him from doing whatever it is he wants or needs to do. His dark eyes are alert, though they also look faraway.]
This probably won't be of any use in the battle coming up with how late in the game I'm offering, but I think that it's still something that's worth learning.
[He makes absolutely no sense right now and he gets that.]
One of the powers I was born with is something my world calls 'shadow travel.' By using shadows like paths to walk through, I can appear in another place. I can even take other people or objects with me. It works best at night, but there's no real problem with using it during the daytime. There's a price, though. It can take a lot of energy at first, and the amount of energy is totally dependent on the distance you're traveling and how many people are traveling with you.
[Nico looks grim, as that's not the only warning he needs to give on this particular ability.]
For any interested, I have to give you a warning on being very careful to not abuse shadow traveling. When I abused it, I almost ceased to be part of the mortal world. I almost joined the ghosts in the Underworld, the Land of the Dead. Whether that same thing can happen here, I don't know and I don't particularly want to know.
If you're still interested after all of that or you have questions about it in general, then feel free to contact me. I plan on holding these lessons at the White Citadel, but I can also hold them at Caer Glaem's training grounds.
[Since either of those locations will be close to healers.]

It's very subtle. No banging or any noise, unless you trip over something in the room. Basically, what happens from an outside perspective is that your body instantly becomes part of the shadow when you leave. When you appear, it'll be like you just materialized from another shadow. The hard part is doing it, but everything else is easy. All you need is a destination in mind. A general location like 'anywhere in Glaschu' can get unpredictable, but it's doable. At home, this was how I got in and out of enemy strongholds to spy on them briefly.

Have you taught such things before? [He inquires, carefully.] To others in this land? Does it require... [He trails off, but if Nico knows who Faolan is, then will probably understand what he's getting at. Faolan, being shardless, has for the most part considered himself to be at a disadvantage to the rest of them, after all.]
