[Video / Open to Both Courts]

[A scream begins this video, but all that follows is the sound of covers being shifted and someone walking, unsteadily, closer to the locket. Vanyel's face comes into view, his features washed out against his black hair.]

I must have... [His voice is hoarse, nearly cracking.] I am Gifted with Foresight. It has been...unreliable...since my arrival. Yet...

I fear what I see when I close my eyes. I fear what the fairies and imps say to us.

What becomes of this world may not matter, but what of our worlds?

[A shiver skates down his back and he clenches his teeth.]

Their magic could be interfering with my own. I pray that is the case. Otherwise...

[He glances over his shoulder before closing his eyes, pained.]

We deserve to see the future.

[ Another one? ]

What did you see?

Blood and battle. Ruins and worlds I didn't recognize. [They could be apart of Drabworld...or not. The images are confusing and jumbled and not at all comforting.] I wouldn't rely on it. We can only prepare for what we know with certainty.

We don't know much for certain.

That troubles me. I can't even discover how to right that problem. [It's humbling how little his powers aid him in the Drabworld.]

Edited 2014-10-10 03:53 (UTC)

I can't give advice on how to learn things via magic, unfortunately.

[Interesting. She'll have to ask Bran what he sees once he's a bit more adjusted.]

Do you see your home?

[It's likely he will experience difficulties too. Vanyel empathizes.]

No. I see...other homes.

Can I ask what you see? [It's grave enough to hear this. Her brow furrows, and she fears more for Bran now.]

I see the battle traveling beyond these lands. [When, why or how is beyond him. He isn't even sure if it's possible.]

Van? Gods, are you alright?

Stef, it's...

I don't have any control over what I see. [In their world, his Foresight isn't particularly reliable; he can't use it on command, but it does show him things he needs to know sometimes.] The images flash through my mind and I can't find any connection.

[Sigh. More magic that he can't do anything about.]

Let me guess. Nothing good, either.

No.

[This pause is way too long.]

Can I lay beside you?

Vanyel? [ Maglor looks... worlds better - it is amazing what the steadying presence of his eldest brother will do ]

What have you seen?

[ Foresight is a heavy burden, Maglor knows. His mother is farsighted, his cousin the same... and no one ever did work out how much Caranthir knew. Maglor himself has no visions, no knowing... but one who hears the Song is always more aware of its currents ]

Maglor? [His grey eyes fix on the locket and he, very briefly, smiles in relief.] You look stronger.

[Swallowing, he leans his forehead against the cool stone wall.]

The war bleeding from these lands and entering others. Perhaps our own.

Do I? [ Maglor shoots a fond look over his shoulder where Vanyel might just see a glimpse of red hair before Maedhros moves out of view from where he had been leaning over in interest ] I suppose I have found a good reason to fight.

[ Worried eyes scan him ]

Now tis my turn to worry over you. Have you had any training in foresight? You might ask for the Lady Galadriel for aid - her gift is strong, and she has had it since childhood. [ quieter] You do not bring any news we did not already fear, and the future is not yet set in stone. But the warning is timely and I thank you for it.

Edited 2014-10-10 13:56 (UTC)

Yes. [His gaze follows Maglor's and he cocks his head.] Someone dear to you has arrived?

[What better reason to keep living; to keep fighting? Vanyel knows how hard it can be to feel alone.]

I have had what training the Collegium could offer me. I do not mean to sound arrogant, but my powers far exceed what any of the other Heralds possess. To find a teacher...

I was instructed briefly by the Tayledras Hawkbrothers. Yet those sessions were more for healing and gaining control of my powers so that they didn't overwhelm me.

So you're like an Oracle?

...What are you seeing?

[ Okay, he is so going to regret this. Nothing the Oracle back home has ever said has turned out awesomely - sorry, Rachel. ]

I've never heard that term before. [His brow furrows, hinting at his headache.] I've seen signs of the war ravaging lands beyond this one.

The Oracle is blessed by Apollo, I think, [ Leo explains vaguely, unsure on how to elaborate. ] He gives her the gift of prophecy, and then she… you know, doles out prophecies like Halloween candy. Rachel’s here, so she could tell you more about it than I could.

[ ...Oh. Well, that doesn’t sound good. ] Lands beyond this one? You mean where we’re originally from?

And Apollo is...? [A deity?] Perhaps I should speak with her. Do you know her full name?

[He closes his eyes tiredly.] Lands I do not recognize. They could indeed be the original homes of some of us.

[Now, this is interesting. And cryptic. If she sounds like that all the time, no wonder it's such a hassle to get anyone to listen to her.]

Mi-. I don't understand at all.

I'm sorry I can't be clearer. [He feels bad for worrying her - or anyone else.] Have you heard what the fairies and imps tell us?

Which part? They said lots of things. [She shrugs and tips her head to the side, trying to look cutely confused.]

What happens to our worlds?

That our worlds will be destroyed if we lose the war. [It's the only part that he truly cares about.] I can't say.
