#aeivas

It’s neat that you’re using your powers in such a specific way. I’m sure that helps you avoid being overwhelmed :)

>Aeivas is swiping through his notes and nodding along as you speak. He doesn’t particularly strike you as the type to gossip about people with just anybody.

>That’s what his quads are for, after all.

“Cylion Lefera, I guess if I was raised in a cult by my freak of an ancestor I’d be sketchy too —

Actually, you know there’s a timeline where that happens to one of the Evocator’s other descendants. You don’t wanna hear about that though — ”

>He stops scrolling and hmms at the screen.

“Oneiric alternation. Oneirokinesis. Whatever you wanna call it.

Pretty basic set of powers, not much to write home about. You wouldn’t even recognize that it happened and how likely are dreams to hurt someone?

You’d need to be in a specific scenario for this to be useful.”

>Aeivas shakes his head and scrolls back through his notes.

“And again.. Absolutely nothing related to his own ancestor’s powers. Nullification powers descended into dream manipulation. It’s almost incomprehensible!

Where’d that spare gene come from!”

>The brown smiles the entire time he talks. It’s like this is the kind of anomaly he lives for regardless of how frustrating it is.

“Yeah, having something to focus on keeps me from getting the migraines and the forgetting who I am.

“Oh look, it’s the small fry that opened the door for everyone to come into my study today.”

>He’s obviously not bothered by it. He’s just poking fun at you.

“You’re all so good at asking questions too.

I’ve been particularly fascinated with the Roatus bloodline. They have interesting powers, gifted spiritually or otherwise, that are so completely random from one another.

Take the Lycaons for example — They certainly get a powerful set of voodoos passed along their line. But it’s easy to guess if someone is born a Lycaon, there’s nearly a one hundred percent chance that they are going to have that manipulation power.

It’s a safe bet, even. Dominant gene regardless of who they’re mixing about with.”

>He gestures widely now, his excitement is almost palpable in the way he moves to grab the tablet that you assume contains information about the Roatuseseses.

“You know the Yumeno’s also have a consistent theme with manipulation. The Ringleader’s umbrakinesis and Kerrim’s… Puppetry.

They’re different but there’s a clear theme! You know what to track.”

>Aeivas opens up the tablet and starts to scroll through it.

“The Reverend’s necrotic touch and zombification powers you might think has a common thread with The Restorer’s Life Creation and Animation powers.

You could think that. It’s a safe line of thinking! But then!”

>He laughs, a little breathless.

“Arkiro Roatus is hatched and he manipulates space. He can tell the universe that this things gravity should be different, it shouldn’t exist at all sometimes!

He can bring places to his location so that he can also exist within them at that moment. But nothing is actually moving he folds space for a brief moment in time but not really don’t be silly!

And there is.

No. Logic. Behind. It.

It doesn’t make sense.

Complete spatial manipulation. From necrotic touch and animation.

hi aeivas I’m here to return this book?

>Aeivas purses his lips, clearly doing his best to suppress a startled laugh.

"Oh, yeah alright. Since you asked so nicely."

Speaking of which... Do you think there are other lines that can do what you can do? Think they're better hidden maybe?

"My stuff is subject to change too-- If something any of us sees changes, there is a wicked migraine waiting on the other end. Had a weeks worth migraines not too long ago. Wonder what I lost.

I'm sure I wrote it down somewhere."
