Power of the Mind - Children of Chaos

[Doom]

The policeman scowled, and said, "I am afraid we do not speak such a language. Either English or French. Now answer me!" He punctuated his anger by slamming his fist into the door.

~~

"Oh, there isn't much to tell. I was born with a twin in the land of Argentina. I'm highly competitive. I enjoy Mozart and Beethoven. And....." He tapped his chin. "I have the nickname Slingshot, because I can throw many things....very fast. Very, very fast." He smiled at her. "What should I know about you, madam?"

[Jay]

Hystia's hand went to the back of her neck. "You should know me as Hystia, I named myself after the goddess of the hearth. I... honestly don't know when I was born, or who my parents are." she smiled sheepishly "I can... light things on fire at will."

[Doom]

"Yes, yes. I have seen your abilities in action. Yet, you seemed cautious of something before those nasty Russians approached you. You can't tell me you're afraid of your potential?" Simon grinned, an attempt to cheer up her apparent discomfort.

[Jay]

Hystia wringed her hands nervously. Her heart was still fluttering from the lie she recently told. "I... um... let's just say I've done worse than what I did on this night."

[Doom]

"Oh, I see. You fear what will happen because of what has happened. Don't worry. Where we're going, you will have ample opportunity to hone your strength and focus your power. You'll be safe, and you shall learn to control what you fear: your own skill." Simon looked out at the clear blue sky, and sighed deeply.

Yuri looked down at the ding in the car, then back at the guard. With a blank face, Yuri said to the Frenchman. "Oh hell no, you didn't just ding up my Merc." he said. Then he smashed the guard's face with his butt stock, nocking him to the ground with blood gushing from his nose. He then turned to the other guard who was removing his rifle from his sling. Firing 3 bullets, two in the center en mass, the other in the middle of the face. The man went down with nearly no sound, except the man hitting the ground. Getting out of the car, he shot another bullet into the man on the ground's face, killing him instantly.

After moving the bodies off the road, Yuri unlocked the checkpoint and passed through, entering France.

[Jay]

"My skill? It is my weakness! What I am lacking, yes?" she felt bad for raising her voice and calmed it down. She turned looking out the window, swallowing hard. She wanted to tell him the truth, perhaps to get it off of her chest, but the words just wouldn't come.

[Doom]

"Like any skill in the world, practice makes perfect. I will help you to transform your burden into your blessing." He beamed, happy that she sounded excited for once. "We will travel to hidden training facilities to hone your power."

~~

"Goodness. That could have gone better. I don't need to read your thoughts to tell that you treasure this vehicle a great deal." Dreamcaster mentally spoke to him. "Was it really necessary to kill them? I requested no blood shed until my special...Surprise."

[Icara Hytate]

Yuri kept foucsed on driving, "Don't worry, they won't find the bodies until it's too late." Yuri grabbed the gun, threw it up and ejected the clip, insterting a second clip, and dropping the gun back inbetween the seat. "Ok, we're pulling into Paris." Yuri said.

[Doom]

Through his servant's eyes, he sized up the Eiffel Tower, and giggled quietly. "Excellent. We're still making good time. Thank you for the lift. May your brothers live proud and strong." As they pulled up, Dreamcaster exited along with his servant. He sent each of the four bombs to the legs of the tower, then gently sat them down, the inner mechanics kept under careful watch in his mind's eye. He walked under the tower then felt the presence of a few armed men and the presence of a sealed mind. Wait. Fairy can't do that. I've always been able to read her mind. Through his servant, he yelled, "Hello there, gentlemen."

[Icara Hytate]

Yuri watched the two men get out and pulled away from the Tower. He pulled into a alleyway 1.5 miles away from the tower, and openned the trunk and began to assemble a PESAG 50 Caliber Sniper rifle, and readied it. He pulled out a small comlink, "Where are the troopers now?" he spoke into the com. "Nearing the tower now." said a robotic voice. Setting up the Sniper rifle, he pulled the cocking handle back and took aim at the tower.

[Jay]

Hystia frowned, still turned away. "I guess that would be... okay. I just don't believe it can be controlled. What I did tonight- it took so much to just try to restrain it. I may have quite the spontanious combustion if I tried any harder to master it." she laughed a bit.

[Doom]

"Don't be concerned with what could go wrong. An optimist looks for every possible positive outcome. Learn to be optimistic. It makes life easier. Don't worry. Every work of art begins with the crude and large strokes. You will have an excellent environment to practice without any possibility of harm to others." Simon looked over the land they flew over, and pointed to a massive yet short building in the distance. "There. In that building, you will have the opportunity to reveal your true power. After a small evaluation, we shall teach you to control your power."

[Dokeshi]

"Hello, dreamcaster, we brought you your darling sister, are you prepared to hear our terms?" there were several men, their clothes torn a bit, covered with cuts and bruises, they dragged behind them a brown hemp back, that grunted quietly.

[Jay]

"Hm? An impossible task, but, it would be just perfectly fitting if I, too died by the hand of my abilities." she frowned a bit, cocking her head. She wished she could talk less formally, as her voice sounded stiff with her formal manner of talking, paired with the heavy accent she learned to call her own. "I am sorry, but I've never been much of an optimist."
