Anyone from our world can, actually, but he has an easier time of it that, say, TAAron would. As far as I know, there's nothing physically you could do to stop him. He can't get in unless you let him, but he can make it hurt. "I'm fine, I just need to... Ahhh." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You all just go. I'll handle it." Lerac was seated against the wall, apparently trying his hardest not to display his pain.

Quote This might be a good time to introduce Sykel’s abilities. She can do a lot of things with music and sounds and stuff. It’s really abstract, might be able to help, but if so probably only a little, because it’s… well… Malum. The catch: she will not volunteer to sing. For anyone. For any reason. Haly sometimes can cajole her though. So yep! [I can do that,] Haly mentally volunteered. [What sort of distraction?] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe unnaturally happy. She’d planned to turn into wind chimes or throw marshmallows or something, but she sensed that there was something else she could do. She straightened her arms horizontally, palms down, and reached for the tingling everpresent under the skin of her fingers. Water gushed around her, flooding the hallway. For a fraction of a second, Haly was disappointed. But then the remaining liquid on the floor—for water it was not—thrust out flames, flames to leap up and lock the ceiling, flames to whirl and dance until it found something to devour. The disappointment vanished, leaving a sense of pleasure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
