Shadow sank down to his level at once, holding him. He shook him, gently. "Angelo. Angelo, snap out of it." He was concerned. He looked upset...and hurt...what was he seeing?

Angelo's eyes which had been closed till now flashed open. they were completely white. the eyes of a True Seer. what ever he was seeing had a chance of coming to pass. the more he saw one future the more likely it was to come to pass. his fingers tightened on Shadows. then his eyes faded back to their natural color. he was panting as he looked up at shadow with a confused look. "what happened?"

Shadow paused, debating telling him. "...You have the makings of a Seer," he informed him, finally. "Not everything you see in your visions will come to pass...but the more you see it, the more it has a chance of passing..." He snaked an arm around his waist and helped him up. "Do you want to go out now, so I can teach you?"

"umm can I have some juice first? I am a bit thirsty." he was more then a bit thirsty, he was also confused. he remembered the dreams he had had over the years of an attack on the house but were they truly visions?

"Sure. There is some in here..." Shadow informed him, noting his bewildered look. "Is there something you need to talk with me about?"

"if what you say is true...." Angelo looked worried. "then your going to be attacked by a bunch of angry villagers who some how find out what your are. but I am not sure if it is because of you being a mage or a vampire." slowly he reached out to barely run his finger along Shadows face. "I don't want it to be true."

Shadow reached out and ran his hands through his hair. "...If such a situation arises...I...will use my powers to get out of it. If it makes you feel any better, I will not walk around, or even sleep, without a weapon nearby..."

"I do not think that carrying a weapon would be a good idea, I just am worried about why you would do something to reveal your self." catching his hand Angelo smiled. "don't do anything rash in the view of others please?"

"I won't," Shadow promised, nodding. "Now...get yourself some juice. Then, I can teach you a bit about water manipulation."

Slowly standing up Angelo reached out for a glass of juice. His hands shook as the cup fell to the floor a chip appearing in the edge. “sorry, I guess I am a bit weak now.”

Shadow picked it up, smiling. "It's all right. Maybe you should eat and drink a little bit more before we go out...or would you like to take a nap?"

"more food sounds good, but I am not tired." moving back to his seat he almost collapsed in it. "why am I so weak now?"

"The visions a Seer has while awake often drain their energy," Shadow explained, getting some juice for him. "What would you like to eat?"

"yes I would like something that will give me more energy and wont leave me to quickly." taking the glass he smiled and looked up through his long lashes at Shadow. "so you think I am really a True seer?"

Shadow dug around his kitchen for some dried meat strips he often ate as a snack--they gave him energy when he was tired. He held them out to Angelo. "Your eyes turned white during your vision, so...yes."

Taking the strips Angelo slowly chewed on them while he thought over what Shadow had told him. His grandmother had once had her eyes go all white and had warned them of a fire that was coming their way down the road in the woods. Had they not had that warning they would have all died for by the time they would have seen the fire it was too late to get out of the way. “Is there training that I will need in that gift too?”

"A bit, to keep the visions under control and sort out what is real from what is not," Shadow replied, leaning against the wall and watching him quietly.

Slowly chewing the meat strips and taking sips of the juice Angelo smiled at shadow. “Grams had the gift but hers did not always work. The last time it had was when a forest fire was moving really fast through the woods and would have killed us had went gotten into sight of it.” The energy slowly seemed to be coming back to him as he spoke.

"Yes...so it's important to sort out what is real, and what isn't. There are certain feelings that come with an accurate vision that don't come with an inaccurate one..." Shadow shifted, to get more comfortable leaning against the wall. "Tell me when you're ready to go, and we can go."

“Well all my visions that are near to the same have the same feeling, is it real or not?” Angelo wanted to know if he was truly seeing what was to happen or if it was just a fear based vision. He slowly stood up and smiled again. “I think I am ready to start leaning now.”

"We'll check later." Shadow shrugged away from the wall. "Follow me." He led the two of them outside, and towards the nearby forest. He made sure to head deeper into it--out of sight from all angles, and then headed for the pool. He stopped at the edge of it. "Is there a particular trick you would like to learn first?"

“I would like to learn everything. I just don’t know what all there is to learn.” Sticking his feet in the pool he waited for Shadow to start.

Shadow shrugged, and then stretched his arms out before beginning. He manipulated a stream of water, making it move in a snake-like fashion around him. Briefly, he explained how to do this to Angelo as he demonstrated.

Fallowing his instructions Angelo got a tiny stream of water to start to fallow what he wanted it to do. Half way though it dropped and splattered around them. “Can I try again?”

"Go on ahead. Try as many times as you like...practice makes perfect," Shadow replied, genially. He watched his actions carefully, trying to pinpoint what, if anything, he was doing wrong.
