[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.]

[ That sounds almost like the dark magic his grandfather or mother might have used once. Although he knows magic works differently here and it sounds like shadow travel can help people. Of course, as dangerous as it sounds, it also seems pretty cool to him. But it makes sense that magic that strong has severe consequences. ]

Was it...freaky the first time you did it?

[ He hesitates in saying 'scary' but it sounds like it could be just...a little unsettling at first given what it does and how much it drains someone. ]
