Re: Secret Operations
The men in the water screamed in panic as they saw the sharks coming up to the surface to view their prey. The other ship had put a second boat in the water and it headed toward the men in the water who were now trying to get out of the wreckage of the blown yellow boat. This is when the two men in the water began to work their magic...
Aeviternus reached out to the aquatic life, trying to communicate in this strange new way, his message was complicated and recieved returning messages with confusion. The sea creatures had not the same feeling as he. The sharks seemed to think the "unnatural creatures" were something close to dangerous kin and safe to be around, and the fish gave feelings of normalcy. The whales lurking in the outstretch of his range seemed leery of the metal hulled boats, and seemed to feel everything was just too busy. The Shark-like creatures were not felt or seen...until...
Max and Orlando-Both of these men shared a strange bond, one that allowed emotion to transfer between them. They also shared more in common that they knew, some of their powers complimented each other quite well. As Orlando thought of Max their powers melded, each seeing with a combined strength and detail of the other's powers. They both looked in the direction of Xuan and Aeviternus, seeing the spirit energy shooting out, like the sun, shooting from Aeviternus, both men knew this was something magical and raw. Orlando's powers allowed them to see the spirit of Aeviternus reach out and grow, touching the souls of the sea life, while Max's powers allowed them to decipher that it was indeed a human's soul that they saw. Max's power allowed them to discern it's fundamental properties, which in turn looking upon each other saw into their own soul and the possibilities...Xuan's power gave them both another start. Max had encountered many energies, and this was new to him as well, but very similar to Aeviternus's and to Orlando's, it was human energy, spirit energy, refined, like Magic but different. Magic seemed to take energy from the universe, mix it with human spirit and effect the world. Xuan's energy was derived from his own soul and then manipulated to effect the world and his song was beautiful and fierce. It was at that moment that Orlando and Max saw the shark-like creatures attempting to sneak towards Aeviternus, swimming as sharks. Their energy was primal and they boad ill towards the men in the water. The song caused them to pause and circle away. They sped to the outskirts of Orlando's power which happened to coincide with Xuan's range of song. Max then saw the creatures stop and send out parts of their own energy, soul-like in nature, speeding out like a flash of sound waves.
Xuan-His song was powerful and shot through the water with immense range, pinging through the water like sonar, its effects were amplified. The jelly fish all but seemed to go silent, stunned, as if the water short-circuited their electrode bodies. The floated lifeless, soothed, the fish all seemed to disperse and thin out. The sharks seemed to jettison away, but not from the song, something else drove fear into their hearts. Xuan reaching out to the animals felt their fear, something horrible had been awoken, its consciousness now suddenly heavy in the water. It felt huge. He seemed to fear that being in the water even in a boat was not the best idea. Looking at Aeviternus he could tell that the timeless man felt the sense of urgency as well.
