Sin's Of The Father

Chapter 21

Fusedtwilight: Thanks to my beta animegirlkiki for betaing.
Last chapter Utlapa returned with a vengeance and took off with Qahla. This chapter our heroes begin to plan on bringing him back.

It was dark.
There was fire and confusion. There were wolves, larger then a grown man, growling and snarling, running around.
There was a man who was not a man, he was a monster. He fought a giant russet colored wolf. The man turned into a wolf, but not like the russet one, this wold was more like a man then a wolf, it stood on two legs and looked pure evil.
The russet wolf was bleeding heavily, looking tired and worn out. The evil wolf smiled and raised it's claws and swiped at the russet wolf.
The nails cut into the wolf's neck and it fell to the ground, still and lifeless. The man wolf raised his and and howled in victory, while the others howled in pain and anguish.

"Jake!" Rachel yelled.
She looked around wildly. She was in her dad's house on the couch, having fallen asleep.
Billy wheeled over to her, having heard her.
"Rachel? What is it?" he asked.
"I had a nightmare," she said.
"Another one?" he asked.
"Yeah." she reached over to the table and picked up a small dream catcher. "And I was starting to think this was working."
For a while Rachel had been having nightmares. Very vivid and realistic nightmares. Paul was worried about her, he thought all the spirit nonsense was affecting her.
She had made the dream catcher out of a whim. When she was little her mom would make them for her, telling her how they were supposed to catch bad dreams.
Surprisingly it had worked for a while. But now this nightmare.
"What was it about?" Billy asked.
She took a deep breath. She told him what she dreamed of.
"Dad, I know it was Jake and the others. And it was Jake who was killed."
Rachel knew all about the wolves and the big secret of La Push. After Paul imprinted on her her father sat her down and told her everything. She didn't believe him, until Paul phased in front of her.
Then she fainted and when she woke up she knew her world had changed forever. Suddenly all those legends and stories were true, and apparently Paul was in love with her.
It was a little awkward for her, she knew of Paul, knew of his history, but he was a bit younger then her. But he was so devoted to her and the way he looked at her...it made her heart flutter.
So they decided to take things slowly. Now they were full on dating. One thing she liked about Paul was he never pushed her into anything physical, unlike some of the other men she dated.
Though she wouldn't mind being intimate with him, with a body like that.
They had kissed before, but nothing too hot and heavy, though she was tempted.
After learning the truth she immersed herself in the old stories. Asking her father all sorts of questions and reading all the secret records the elders had.
Rachel was always a studious kind of girl. Now she had a whole world to research.
Billy was quiet for a moment. "Well...I think this could be just a nightmare. After all, the beast you described doesn't sound like any werewolf I know of. Though with all the spirits running around who is to say."
Rachel hoped that was all it was. Lately...she had been seeing things. Not just these bizarre dreams. There were times when she was out driving around or walking along the beach and she could swear she would see something move out of the corner of her eyes.
But when she turned to look nothing was there, she could even swear she heard voices in the winds, whispering, calling her name.
She was afraid she was going insane. She hadn't told anyone about this, not her dad, or Jake or even Paul, they had enough on their plates besides her having a break down.
"But why would I dream about it? Why would I have a dream where my baby brother is being killed by some monster?" she asked.
"I don't know. Maybe-"
The door suddenly slammed open and Jake along with Terra and some other wolves came in looking angry and beat up.
"Qahla is gone!" Jake growled.
"What?" Billy said.
"Utlapa was resurrected and turned into an Amorak by the spirits and convinced him to leave," Terra said.
"Dear God, Utlapa is back?" Billy asked.
"Call the elders dad, we have a lot to talk about," Jake said.

Rachel handed a cup of tea to Sue and Old Quil.
They came as soon as they could after Billy called them.
Jake had explained everything, along with the others who were there. He also told them about Terra's deception and Taha Aki's true plan.
"Well Terra, what do you have to say for yourself?" Billy asked.
He looked for Terra but didn't see him.
"Where did he go?" Billy asked.
"Who made this?"
They all turned and saw Terra holding the dream catcher Rachel made.
"I did," she said.
"Your work is very impressive, I didn't know you had such skill."
"Oh...thanks," she said.
There was nothing special about it, it looked like any other trinket you could buy at a store.
"Tell me, do you make these for that tacky little shop?"
"Yeah, Embry's mom works there. I help her make some things to sell."
"I noticed some of the items there had power. Who taught you?"
"Wait, what?" she asked.
"Who taught you to make a dream catcher? A real one, not one of those bullshit things people buy."
"My mom taught me, but what do you mean a real one?" she asked.
He looked at her, then the dream catcher. "Could it be?"
He walked right up to Rachel, his face was so close to hers she could feel his breath on her lips. He looked at her closely, Rachel felt like a microbe underneath a microscope.
"Interesting," he said.
He grabbed her face and moved it from side to side as if he could see something no one else could.
"Excuse me?" she asked.
"No mystical training yet she subconsciously used her power to make a real item of power and didn't even know she was doing it. A rare thing, reeks of potential...yes...yes there are lines opening up. Doors of possibility, strings pulling around us. A pivotal moment in her life...yes."
"Would you kindly remove yourself from my daughter," Billy said.
"Before I remove your head from your body," Jake said.
Everyone was glaring at him, not liking how he was laying his hands on her.
Terra removed his hands from her and took a step back. "Child, tell me, have you been going through any strange or unusual phases? Have you seen things no one else can see? Have you dreamed things you can't explain?"
She ignored the child comment but only because she knew he was sooooooo much older then her.
"Well...yes."
"Care to explain?"
"Well...I made the dream catcher because lately I have been having bad dreams. My mom used to do it for me when I was small so I figured it might help now."
"Anything else?" he asked.
She knew from the look on his face he knew about her seeing things out of the corner of her eyes. She looked at her family guiltily. "And...I have been seeing strange things."
"What?" Jake asked.
"What do you mean strange things?" Billy asked.
"I didn't want to worry you guys, you had enough on your plate. But sometimes I see things out of the corner of my eye, but their not there when I look and...I have begun to hear things as well."
"Is this your work Terra? Are you using my sister for some twisted plan?" Jake demanded.
"Calm yourself Jake, this is not my doing. Your sister is merely on the threshold," Terra said.
"Threshold of what?" Billy asked.
"Of awakening her mystical potential," Terra said.
"Mystical potential, what do you mean?" Rachel asked.
"You posses the spark of awareness Rachel, it has remained dormant in you all this time. I believe your exposure to Qahla has caused it to begin to awaken. It is not fully awake though, you are merely going through the early stages. Come to think of it, there should be more like you going through the same thing," Terra said.
"Wait, what is wrong with my daughter? What in the blazes are you talking about?" Billy asked.
"There is magic in your daughter. Not surprising given her bloodline. She has the potential to be a mystic. To learn to control and manipulate mystical forces. But the spark has been dormant in her. Her disbelief in the spiritual world and her own personal issues have kept it from waking up. Many people today have this spark, but since no one truly believes in magic or the other it remains dormant and they remain ignorant of the spirit realm. There are a few who have it woken up, either naturally or by accident."
"So...the things I see and hear are what?" she asked.
"Spirits. Ask Jake, La Push is filled with them now thanks to Qahla. It's a hot spot now for supernatural activity."
"And the dreams?"
"Visions, prophecies. Do you still have bad dreams?"
"Sometimes, I just had one before you guys arrived," Rachel said.
"The dream catcher does not prevent prophetic dreams from getting through. Those can be traumatic but they are supposed to warn you of danger. You are meant to have them," Terra said.
"But that means...oh God!" she looked at Billy. "Jake is going to die!"

Qahla and Utlapa walked through a cave.
"Where are we?" Qahla asked.
"I do not know. I have never traveled this far," Utlapa said.
He was following this feeling in his mind. He was sure the spirits were here, he could taste them in the air.
Qahla sensed them to. They sensed similar to the Yunwi Tsunsdi in terms of power and substance. Most spirits had a slight tingling sensation that ran down his spine, but now that sensation made his skin tingle like it was about to rip itself from his body and crawl away.
Qahla held his...he held Utlapa's hand as they walked down the cave.
"Are the spirits going to hurt us?" he asked.
"No, you are to valuable to them to hurt," Utlapa said.
"What about you?"
"They wouldn't bring me back to just kill me."
"But they have me now, what use do they have for you?"
Utlapa was silent for a moment.
"I am sorry, I ask a lot of questions when I get scared," Qahla said.
"No, it is good to ask questions child. The spirits made me a promise when they brought me back, in return for my assistance."
"What kind of promises?"
"Let's just say I have guaranteed our place in the new world that is to come," he said.
They continued to walk down the dark cave. Qahla's free hand went to his pouch, it was very warm and every once in a while it would move. He hoped the spirits did not notice or figure out what was inside it.
Finally after what seemed like eternity they came into a large cavern, at the center of this place was a hole in the ceiling, allowing a beam of sunlight to fall through.
"This is the place," he said.
They walked into the room, all was quiet. But Qahla's senses told him they were here, the spirits.
They walked into the sunlight. Utlapa called out to the spirits. "We are here! I have brought you my son Qahla! Show yourselves!"
The air in the cavern shimmered and suddenly they were surrounded by spirits. They were unlike anything Qahla had ever seen. Some looked human, others...not even a little, others were odd hybrids mixes of man and beast.
He saw the Yunwi Tsunsdi who tried to capture him, standing with a group of others of his kind.
He saw a beautiful woman, she was lithe and delicate looking, her hair was long and black, yet it moved, wavering in the air like it was in water, she wore a thin white dress. She seemed to swim through the air. Qahla smiled at her, he had many fond memories of the Memegwesi water spirits. When he played in the rivers and streams they would bath him and sing to him.
There was a large monstrous best, nine feet tall with tan skin, it had a pair of elephant like tusks jutting out of his mouth. He had a large fat belly and thick limbs and small beady eyes. An Atipa-Tcoba.
He froze when he saw a group of Boqs. Nasty apelike creatures with red eyes and sharp looking teeth. A small group had come onto the Quileute lands before Qahla had been sealed away. They were violent and had a taste for human flesh.
A trio of beautiful women who judging from their glowing aura and hungry looking eyes as they looked at Qahla were Tlahuelpuchi.
A large sleek, dragon like creature with spikes along it's back and fire on it's underbelly lounged against the wall. Hot air escaped it's nostrils as it breathed out. The Gaasyendietha, it uses the fire on it's belly to fly, making it look like a comet.
Another group of ape like creatures with snow white fur, and blue skin seemed to have an aura of cold. Spirits close to them shivered. They were Ts'el'eni, ice spirits.
There was a man with wild unkempt hair and fire for eyes.
There was another creature that had the arms and lower body of a man but the upper body of a Buffalo.
So many spirits, they were not like the lower spirits. They were much more powerful then normal spirits, they were capable of staying in the physical world. They didn't need Qahla to stay physical, but that didn't mean they didn't want him.
"You have done well Utlapa," the buffalo man said.
"The child is ours at last, already I can feel the ancient magic inside him making me strong!" the man with the fire eyes said.
"The modifications you made in me were most useful. Taha Aki's son's were no match for my might!" Utlapa said smugly.
"Step away and let us speak with the little one," the memegwesi woman said.
Qahla held onto Utlapa's hand tightly. Utlapa smiled at him. "Fear not, they just wish to speak with you," he said.
He let go and stepped out of the light. Qahla looked at the gathered spirits. "Hello," he said.
The memegwesi smiled. She swam through the air towards him. She knelled down and wrapped her arms around him. "Shh, do not fear little one, we will not hurt you. We have waited a long time to meet you."
"You'll leave them alone now right? The Quileute tribe?" Qahla asked.
"We had no argument with them, all we wanted was you," the buffalo man said.
"So what now? You have me, what will you do with me?" Qahla asked.
"Now we plan. We will gather our brothers and sisters and share your power with them. You are the seed to which will grow into a mighty tree bearing ripe fruit that will replenish us." the man with fire eyes said.
One of the Yunwi Tsunsdi spoke, he was at the head of his group and Qahla knew from the way he was dressed he was their leader.
"For too long we have been forced to watch as humans destroy our lands. They have forgotten us and now are consumed by greed. They think they own the land and can do with it as they please, they cut down trees and dry up rivers in their relentless pursuit of material things. But now with you we can fight back, we will make them remember the times when they respected us."
"And how do you intend to do that?" Qahla asked.
The man with fire for eyes smiled. "War!" he said.
Qahla looked into his eyes and he saw cities burning, he saw people dying, he saw hurricanes and earth quakes and he saw mortals dying.
"It is the only thing they know. The only thing they understand."
"But...you could try talking to them, ask them to stop," Qahla said.
"They would not listen, they would see us and fear us. They would try to enslave us, study us or kill us. They would only want to control and exploit us. It is what they do," the buffalo man said.
The memegwesi, floated away, leaving Qahla alone in the light.
"But people will die!" Qahla said.
"So. There are billions of them, it's not like they are in danger of dying out," the man with fire for eyes said.
Qahla's eyes burned with yellow light and a golden aura surrounded him. "What makes you think I will let you do this?"

Rachel was drinking some tea. Her nerves were shot.
Knowing it was not a nightmare but a vision of the future, showing her brother being killed hit her hard.
She was sitting down on the couch. Terra had contacted Taha Aki and told him what happened. Taha Aki would be in La Push tomorrow.
Jake and Billy were trying to comfort Rachel.
"It's okay Rach, everything will be fine," Jake said rubbing her hands.
"Jake, I saw you die. I saw him cut your throat," she said, a single lone tear fell down her cheek.
"The future isn't set in stone, Alice has visions that change all the time," Jake said.
Terra sat in front of them. He had a wooden box and sat it on the table.
"We must talk Rachel Black. You are at a crossroads in your life," he said.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"With Qahla temporarily gone the power will begin to fade from the area. This will cause your awakening mystical sense to return to dormancy and thus the dreams and the seeing spirits will go away as well. But, we could go ahead and awaken it."
"Why would I do that?" she asked.
"No offense but when was the last time your tribe had a shaman? A real shaman?"
"The elders offer spiritual advice to the people if they need it," Billy said.
"But the elders can't commune with spirits or create charms. Rachel made a true dream catcher subconsciously. Without even knowing what she was doing, do you know how much talent it takes to do something like that and not even know what you are doing? It's like drawing a picture blind."
"My sister is not going to get involved in this any more then she already is, haven't you done enough damage already?" Jake asked.
Terra ignored him and continued to looked at Rachel.
"I can help you awaken that part of you Rachel. I can teach you how to cast spells and talk to spirits. I dare say you have more potential then your brother."
"We are not awakening anything you hear me!" Billy growled.
"Billy, I am loath to admit it...but I need help. If we are going to attack the spirits we need more then strength of numbers. The packs brute strength won't do nothing against the spirits magic. Remember how difficult it was with the Yunwi Tsunsdi? We'll be dealing with a lot more then just one spirit. And I can't fight them and protect you all from their magics."
"We can look after ourselves," Jake said.
"Against magic? No. You have no mystical knowledge, you can't craft spells and you still have a long way to go in spirit walking."
"So what are you saying?" Jake asked.
"I am saying we create a new team. A group of individuals who specialize in fighting magic with magic. Humans have done it before, gathering the mystically gifted of their people to fight spirits and other supernatural forces."
Jake and Billy looked at one another. "And how would we go to making such a team?" Billy asked.
"Easy, find those who are gifted with the spark of awareness and teach them."
"And you want Rachel to be one of these people?"
"I would like it for her to be a volunteer but the choice is hers."
"No, we can't trust him Billy, he is a snake!" Sam said.
"I agree," Old Quil said.
"I think...we should listen more. If we did have a group trained in magic it would mean we would have to rely on Terra less," Sue said.
Billy looked thoughtful. Weighing his choices.
"I am in," Rachel said.
"Rachel!" Jake said.
Rachel looked at him, she reminded Jake of her mother when she decided to do something. That same determined look.
"I want to help Jake, if I can help keep that dream from coming real. I won't loose you. Not...not after what losing mom did to us."
Billy put his hand on hers. "Sweetie, you don't have to do this, we can find another way."
Rachel put her hand on his. "Dad, all these years I thought you were just an old man with his head in the clouds. While I was away studying for college you and Jake were here keeping the tribe safe, fighting monsters. I want to help, I want to do something for the tribe."
"Rachel, we don't know the risks. You want to finish school and lead a normal life, but if you do this then-"
"My brother and my boyfriend are werewolves dad, all you have had to make sacrifices for the good of the tribe. Now it's my turn."
Billy looked sadly at her. "You sound like your mother, she would be proud."
A tear fell down her cheek and she hugged Billy. Then she turned to Terra. "Okay, how do we do this?"
Terra opened the wooden box. Inside was some herbs, a bottle of water and a mortar and pestle.
"There are a few ways to awaken the spark. Being exposed to a powerful source of magic, which is what has been happening to you. Extreme trauma like a near death experience which I doubt your kin will allow to happen to you. And then there are ways that are quick but pack a punch."
He crushed some herbs in the mortar with the pestle, he added some water and then pulled out a knife. He cut his finger and let some blood drip into the mortar and mixed it all up, his finger quickly healed.
"There are certain spells and rituals as well. But those take time and we need you ready now."
He grabbed some bottles and smeared a special ointment around her eyes, nose, mouth and ears.
He handed her the mortar.
"Now, this will wake up your spark. You can back down now, because once you drink this you will never be able to not see the spirit world."
"Wait, I have to drink this?" she asked.
"Yes."
"But...your blood is in it."
"Yes."
"..."
He sighed. "Look, I am the most powerful mystic on the planet, magic is like a second blood for me. It will awaken the spark inside you. But since this will be a bit...rushed there might be a little...nausea. But it will pass."
She brought the mortar up to her lips. "Am I going to have to get a tetanus shot am I?" she asked.
"Just drink the damn thing," Terra said.
Rachel took a deep breath and chugged it down. She slammed the mortar down on the table and gagged.
She sat there for a moment. Waiting.
When nothing happened she shrugged her shoulders. "I don't feel any different."
"Huh...maybe I shouldn't have used the petunias," Terra said.
Just then Rachel's body began to shake.
"Rach?" Jake asked.
Rachel threw up on the table.
"Oh, maybe I added too much," Terra said.
Rachel continued to shake, Sue was immediately by her side, inspecting her since she was a nurse.
"What did you do!" Jake roared at Terra.
Terra just sat there calmly. "I did say she would be a bit nauseous, suddenly waking up a new sense can be jarring."
"Jarring! She's having a seizure!" Sue yelled.
"Yeah, might want to make sure she doesn't bite off her tongue," Terra warned.
Rachel stopped shaking and went still. Everyone called her name, Sue was opening her eye lids and checking her eyes.
Terra continued to sit, checking his nails.
Rachel woke up. "What happened?" she asked.
"Oh thank God," Billy said putting his hand over his chest.
They helped her stand up. They all asked her if she was fine and Sue was checking her vitals.
"Guys, I am fine seriously, I don't need you tooo oh my God what are those things!" she yelled.
"What things?" Jake asked.
"Those things!" she said pointing at nothing.
"Uh Rach...there is nothing there," Jake said.
"Actually Jake, there is," Terra said.
What Terra and Rachel could see that the others could not see was a trio of weasels. They were slightly longer then and bigger then normal weasels and instead of paws and hind legs were sharp looking scyths.
"Those are kamaitachi, wind spirits. Nasty little bastards, they represent sharp winds that cut your skin," Terra said.
The Kamaitachi floated in the air, chasing after one another.
"They won't hurt us will they?" Rachel asked.
"No, they aren't that strong yet," Terra said.
"I need some air."
She turned and headed out the door.
"I wouldn't do that-" Terra began.
"Oh my God they're everywhere!" she screamed from outside.
"Never mind," Terra said.
"What do we do now?" Billy asked.
"Now we hunt down others who have mystic potential and recruit them. Anyone who has had prophetic visions, or seen spirits or anything odd like that," Terra said.
"And then?"
"Then we give them a choice, join us or not," Terra said.
"Can you train them to help with the spirits?" Jake asked.
"Given some odd years time of training yes, but we don't have years," Terra said, "but since we don't have years but rather days to get ready we will have to make due."
"My daughter is not going to fight with you and the others, neither will anyone else we recruit," Billy said.
"I agree, I do not intend for them to be on the front lines, rather they will remain here in La Push," Terra said.
"Then why train them?" Jake asked.
"Magic can be cast over a distance. If I can teach them how to focus their magic collectively they can assist us with spells and magic over a distance," Terra said.
"How long before we can start looking for Qahla?" Jake asked.
"A week. Then we can move out. With our little group of mystics on our side we might be able to surprise the spirits."

Qahla sat sullenly.
He sat in a circle of power in another part of the underground cavern. After he tried to attack the spirits they put him in a binding spell that kept him from leaving.
He got a few good hits in though, but the spirits experience over came his raw power.
Utlapa stood in front of him, looking at him with disapproval. "That was a very foolish thing you did Qahla," he said.
"Well, sorry for trying to do the right thing," Qahla said.
"The right thing? Making a fool out of yourself and attacking the same beings who are trying to keep you safe?"
Qahla snorted. "Those people don't care about me. They just want me for my power and they want to hurt people."
"They just want to defend their world, to keep the mortals from burying them in the earth. The sooner you realize the good deal you have the sooner we can get this over with and begin our new lives."
"Fine, will you let me out now?" Qahla asked.
"Even if I could I wouldn't. You acted like a child now you will be treated like one. Besides the spirits put this spell on you, I can not break it."
"Guess they don't trust an oath breaker around their weapon," Qahla said.
Utlapa narrowed his eyes at him. "Remember this is your punishment, keep misbehaving and the punishments will be more severe, but if you behave maybe they will allow you some freedom."
Utlapa turned and left the cave. Qahla waited until he was sure he was gone. He focused and let loose his power, soon the room was lit with an intense golden light, but the circle did not release him.
He sighed and pulled back his power. He tried to feel around for minds, making sure he was alone, the circle did limit his mental powers but he was able to sense within the caverns. He could sense all the spirits, he could sense he was alone in his cavern.
Good.
He pulled out his pouch and opened it up. "Alright guys, the cost is clear."
From out of the pouch six fire salamanders crawled out. It was the same fire salamanders who had been crawling around him when Utlapa showed up. While he had been fighting with the wolves Qahla had gathered the salamanders in his pouch.
"Are they gone?"
"Are we safe?"
"Where are we?"
"It's dark and cold."
"I wonder if there is fires we can rest in?"
"I feel much stronger now!"
The fire salamanders crawled around, their bodies glowed softly in the dark.
"Listen guys, you need to be quiet. I want you to stay hidden for now and I don't want the spirits to know you are here."
"Yeah."
"Okay."
"Hidden."
"Okay."
"Now, I think you might be able to get out of the circle. It was designed to hold great powers and you guys should be able to slip through," Qahla said.
"Yeah."
"Okay."
"Let's go!"
They crawled over the circle, passing through it easily.
"We did it!"
"Yay!"
"Can't hold this!"
"Awesome!"
"Shhh!" Qahla hissed and the salamanders fell silent. "Look, you have to keep quiet. I want you guys to explore. Find out where we are, learn the layout of the cavern."
"We have to leave you?"
"But you make us strong."
"I feel stronger now."
"I like exploring."
"Come on guys, focus!" Qahla begged.
"Okay." they all said.
Qahla sighed. Salamanders weren't the brightest spirits. Which was funny seeing how they were fire sprites.
"Now go out and explore, report back in one hour to tell me what you found, but above all else, stay hidden!" Qahla said.
"We will."
"Let's go!"
"Exploring time!"
"Stupid higher spirits won't see us coming!"
"We'll be more invisible then wind spirits!"
"Yeah, those guys are air headed! Get it? Air headed!"
They all left the cavern, leaving Qahla alone. He sighed, praying to the good spirits that this would work. He knew the others would come for him. He knew they would find a way. And when the right time came Qahla would break free and help them fight.
These spirits will learn the price you pay for messing with the Quileute's.

The next day found Terra, Jake, the elders, some wolves and five humans in the woods.
"Five people...your telling me in a tribe of seven hundred and fifty only five humans have the spark of awareness?" Terra asked, annoyance clear in his voice.
"You said look for people who have been seeing things or having odd dreams. This is all we could find in the short time you gave us," Jake said.
The five were Rachel, Jared's imprint Kim, Henry a friend of Brady's, Tommy a kid who worked for the Atera's at their grocery store and surprisingly...Claire Young.
"Um, what is going on?" Henry asked.
Henry was twelve years old. He was friends with Brady, but since Brady had phased their relationship had become distant. He had been walking through the woods when he ran into Brady.
They talked for a few moments and Brady asked him how he was. Henry told him he was worried. He had been seeing things no one else could see and was afraid he was going crazy like his dad. Henry's dad was from Forks, his mom was from La Push. His dad turned out was a paranoid schizophrenic and was now in a mental hospital.
Needless to say it was not easy for him, being the kid with the crazy dad so he told Brady he was afraid he was going down the same path. True he was still a bit bitter at him for leaving him to hang out with Sam's gang, but he had to talk to someone and he didn't want to sorry his mother.
Brady told him to meet with some people who could explain his visions.
"Yeah. Quil told me you guys...could help me," Tommy said.
Tommy was twenty two. He lived with his grandmother and helped take care of her. Tommy had always been really good at reading people, he always knew there was something strange about Quil and some of the guys he hanged out with.
He was talking to Quil at the store and told Quil how his ability to feel people was getting stronger and how he always felt like there was something in the air. There were times he would wake up at night, feeling like someone was in there with him, but he was all alone.
He also gained an uncanny ability to tell if someone was lying. Quil tried to tell him nothing was wrong, but Tommy knew he was lying and knew he could help him.
Quil figured he must be some kind of mystic and told him to show up as well.
Terra stepped forward. "You all posses magic power. Power that will help defend the tribe against an aggressive spirit invasion."
Tommy and Henry frowned.
"Perhaps a demonstration is in hand."
Terra raised his hand. Fire shot out of his palm twenty feet in the air. Everyone stared in shock, especially Tommy and Henry.
The fire died down and Terra put his hands behind his back. "So, questions?"
They spent the next hour explaining everything to Tommy and Henry. Taha Aki, Qahla, spirit warriors, Utlapa, the whole thing.
"So...you want us to become...shamans?" Henry asked.
"Yes," Terra said.
"To help fight spirits?" Tommy asked.
"Yes," Terra said.
"I think I am going to be sick," Tommy said.
Terra pulled out a flask. "Listen, we don't have time. If you want to learn magic and be apart of something greater, to give your worthless lives some meaning then drink this flask, it will fully wake up your mystical powers. But be warned, once you do this there is no going back."
Tommy and Henry looked at one another.
"I will do it," Kim said.
"Kim, please don't," Jared begged her.
"I want this Jared. I want to help the tribe, if you can protect it why can't I?" she asked.
"But this puts you in danger."
"I am already in danger Jared, we all our, I won't back down. I will do my part. If the third wife could save the tribe, why can't I?"
"She died though, remember?" Jared said.
"Well...if Kim is going to do it, no way can I let a girl upstage me," Tommy said.
"Yeah. And if it means I can do something with my life then I am down with it," Henry said.
"You don't have to do this Henry. Don't feel like you have to prove to yourself," Brady said.
"I am not just doing it for the tribe. If I become a shaman...maybe...maybe I can help my dad. Maybe I can help cure him of his disease," Henry said.
Terra held up the flask but Quil stopped him. "No way, I know what that crap does, Claire is just drinking it," he said.
"Claire's spark is already awakened," Terra said.
"What?" Quil asked.
"Her parents told Emily they were concerned because she has been talking to her new invisible friends," Sam said.
"I can see spirits Qwil! They are really funny looking," Claire said.
"All children have a slight awareness of the spirit world, her time with Qahla fully awakened her perception of it," Terra said.
He handed the flask to Kim, she drank it and handed it to Henry. He drank it and frowned.
"What is that?" he asked.
"Oh just some herbs and water," Terra said.
Tommy began to drink from the flask. "Along with a few drops of my blood."
Tommy spat out the contents of the flask, but he already drank some drops.
The wolves held them as they convulsed and their sparks awakened.
They helped them to their feet, giving them a moment to adjust to their new awareness.
"Alright, line up," Terra said.
They did as he told them. "Alright, I will be teaching you all how to use your gifts. Before we begin, we will discuss some rules. First rule is the pecking order. There is you lot at the bottom, then there is God, then there is me. Second rule, never talk about your training to any mundys. That's normal humans ignorant of the supernatural world. Third, do as I say, not as I do. Follow these rules or the consequences will be severe. Got it?"
No one said anything.
"Your funny," Claire said with a giggle.
Terra sighed. "Hold up your hands."
They all held up their hand. Terra walked up to them holding up his hand to match theirs.
"Alright, I am going to read you."
"Read us?" Tommy asked.
"All people have an affinity to a certain kind of magic. Like how some people are better at singing or others better at drawing. Some schools of magic will come to you more naturally then others which you will have to work hard to learn. I am going to read your aura's to see what type of magic you have a talent for."
He walked up to Rachel and put his hand against hers. She had a feeling like her body was being surrounded by static energy.
"A seer. You can see deep into things and learn the truth, your vision will be difficult to cloud and you can see past all lies and deceit. I also detect you have a powerful connection to the dream world which is where your visions come from."
He walked over to Kim and did the same with her.
"A healer, I sense you have a natural ability to read energy patterns. This will help you learn how to break spells by seeing how they were developed and see the flow of power."
He walked over to Tommy.
"A reader. You can see and read aura's."
"Yes, I can. It's amazing!" Tommy said.
"Read me," Terra said.
Tommy focused on Terra. "You are old. Old and tired. There is great power in you yet you are so sad...sad and lonely. You have died so many times, yet you are forced to come back...whoa, how am I learning all this?"
"You are reading my aura, it is telling you information about me," Terra said.
Henry was next.
"I sense a connection to the dead. You are a medium. Not only can you commune and channel nature spirits but you can do so with the dead as well. I think you would be at home with necromancy."
"How useful is talking to the dead," Henry asked.
"The dead hold many secrets child," Terra said.
Finally, he turned to little Claire. She held up her hand excitedly and Terra rolled his eyes. He put his hand against hers and read her.
"A strong affinity for elemental magic. Nature really likes you child."
He stepped back and looked at all five of them. "Alright, now I know what I am dealing with. Now, let's begin."
