Dark Veil 2

[TheCreeperHugz]

"I don't know! I was trying Lumen, and it started glowing, and now I can't make it stop! I don't know whether it's part of Lumen or not, but I can't control the glow!" I tell her in a panicked voice.

 

[nekosync]

"Put your hand in the water!" I shriek.

 

[TheCreeperHugz]

I quickly dunk the glowing hand in the water, but nothing happens. The glow is just as bright as before.
I close my eyes, clear my mind, then focus on dimming the glow. To my suprise, when I open my eyes, it is barely glowing at all.

 

[nekosync]

"Whoa..." I gasp.

 

[TheCreeperHugz]

"Is this part of lumen?" I ask, confused. Now that I've calmed down, I can control the glow.

 

[nekosync]

"I think it is!" I exclaim. "Just keep calm, and it should work."

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

(Guys I won't be role playing tonight, sorry :/)

 

[nekosync]

(Don't apologize! It's totally okay.)

 

[TheCreeperHugz]

(Okay Leah )
After a while, I manage to stop the glow altogether. "Strike up a match, I want to test the fireproof aspect of this," I tell Cordelia.

 

[nekosync]

"Be careful." I warn, then rub the match against the box. The ember promptly erupts from the stick.

 

[TheCreeperHugz]

I cautiously stick the tip of my index finger into the fire coming from the match. The flame tickles slightly, but it doesn't hurt. I giggle, "This actually tickles!"
I move my hand so that the flame moves up it, and it continues to tickle, until it reaches my wrist, where it starts to burn. I immediately snatch my hand away and dunk it in the pool to cool it down.

 

[nekosync]

"Oh my..." My eyes widen. "I think you need to keep practicing, so your Lumen powers can extend all over your body."

 

[TheCreeperHugz]

"Yeah, I guess," I reply, pulling my hand out of the water. "The glowing thing is pretty cool too, I think it must be a part of lumen."

 

[nekosync]

"Yeah, of course."

 

[TheCreeperHugz]

I sit down in one of the deck chairs, turning the glow on and off. It gets easier to do every time.

 

[nekosync]

I sit adjacent to her, watching in interest. "If you ever have a book with runes, come to me and I'll read it for you."

 

[TheCreeperHugz]

"I wonder if I can do this in both hands?"

 

[nekosync]

"Oooh, give it a try!"

 

[TheCreeperHugz]

I focus my energy into my left hand this time. It glows, but only dimly. Perhaps it's because it isn't my dominant hand...?

 

[Jawile]

I walk to the pool with the book, watching Cordelia and Chiyoko practice their magic.
I open the book and try to read the writing, but it's difficult. Suddenly, a headache kicks in. I squint, and I can read the words more clearly...
