Dreamshaper!Felix drops on Beacon Hills

In a moment Felix was simply enjoying flying through the many portals of the Shattered Skies. Then a flash of bright light and then he isn't in the Shattered Skies anymore.

Instead he is above a town, no portal in view. He checks his cellphone and... no signal, this is likely a kind of pocket dimension.

Feeling confused and lost, Felix flies down, searching for people or a place where he can use a phone.

And while Felix is going through that, a tiny shard of gray quartz crystal manifests above the forehead of a sleeping teenager, making contact.

The sleeping teenager wakes- but not in his house. 

Elsewhere: 

This town is fairly quiet, but there is a powerful force nearby. It's coming from the forest.

Felix can sense it, in the way that he might sense the hot breath of a predator on his neck, or hear the shrieks of monkeys with a new target to play with.

Oh, god. It's one of those pocket dimensions. The creepy ones. Well, caution. Felix will not be a horror movie protagonist and go check the weird forest thing. He will go around town...

...a town that looks fairly modern, maybe this a new pocket dimension? Or one recently created by the dreamshard and that they missed? Well, Felix will just investigate further... maybe talk with one of the locals if they look approachable enough. If everything else fails he will just fly towards the dimension's edge and contact Fenris.

The locals are probably quite friendly.

The tree is screaming now.

The locals don't seem to notice.

Permalink

Okay... Well, Felix is worried now. He will try something that is probably not stupid for a immortal.

Felix lands and searches for a local to talk to. Ready to take flight.

Permalink

No locals seem to be paying attention to him.

The locals do pay attention to the growing winds, which blow harder as the scream gets louder.

Many run inside homes and stores to avoid the storm.

The wind howls, and it starts to rain.

And the rain begins to follow a path through the town, carried by the wind.

Felix feels a gust of air behind him, urging him to follow.

Okay, so weird weather, meet this skymage. What happens when Felix tries to counter the wind and rain?

Permalink

The rain fades away. The wind calms.

Yet a swirl of water and wind remains, despite the clearing sky, marking out a clear direction.

It leads further into town, towards the residential area.

Permalink

What if Felix tries to focus on the water? What if he heats up the air where the water concentrates?

Permalink

The water evaporates instantly.

The wind stops.

Nothing interesting going on here, really.

Permalink

Okay... Felix will pay attention to the wind in case something weird happens again.

It looked like it was moving with purpose. Can Felix identify a likely destination?

Permalink

It could be this house. Something in the house is like the tree.

The boy on the couch, maybe.

Permalink

Okay... Felix knocks on the door.

Permalink

"Who could that be? Scott, did Isaac say how long he would be out?"

The sound of footsteps.

The door opens.

"Hi. Are you one of Scott's friends?"

Permalink

"No. I know this will sound weird, but there might be some kind of magical emergency. There was this weird weather thing coming straight to your home until I dissipated it."

As he says this, Felix absently stretches his wings, they sure look real.

Permalink

"Look, I don't know what religion you're selling, but we're fresh out of faith. Come again later."

Permalink

"...What? I am not a Mormon or anything. I was flying, notice some weird scream coming from the forest, then there was some weird obviously magical weather coming to this direction and I stopped it."

Permalink

"Uh huh. Let's see this 'magic' of yours."

Permalink

Does she think I am a random person with wings instead of a Skymage?

"...Okay," Felix says taking a step back.

He decides against demonstrating fire, instead he makes a whirlwind in the frontyard, helped by some fog to make it more visible.

Permalink

"Okay. Real wings, real magic. Why do you think the magical emergency is in my house?"

Permalink

"As I said, there was some weird screaming from the forest, and weird magical weather coming at this direction. Maybe it wasn't coming towards your house, but it was obviously in the way, and warning you felt like the good Samaritan thing to do."

Permalink

"You wait here. I'll be back with my son."

She closes the door.

A few minutes pass, and it opens again.

"Everything seems fine, he's just sleeping. Whatever magic storm you're worried about probably passed over us."

Permalink

"Okay... Do you mind if I use your phone? Or at least could you tell me where I am? I got lost."

Permalink

"Sure, come in."

Felix can see a boy sleeping on the couch, and he can see a crystal lying on the floor next to it.

"Here's our phone. Try not to make any international calls."

Permalink

Felix picks up the phone and starts dialing.

"I am not entirely sure how I got here but..." Felix starts saying when he spots the crystal.

He dashes forward and grabs it like someone's life depends on it.

Then he takes a closer look.

Then he glances at the boy.

Then he glances back at the Crystal.

"Fuck."

He tries waking up the boy.
