More of chapter 2!!! Children of the Caluminati chapter 2 As the bright afternoon sun radiantly glistened off of Madison Spirit Dancers naked body, she felt completely at ease. She had bathed in this river her whole life, and though the Cherokee had long since abandoned the old ways, the people of her small village clung to them as best they could in this modern world. Still, Madison hungered for adventure and every so often would use her spirit walking ability to see the world through the eyes of the animals of the forest. She enjoyed taking control of an eagle and soaring over the town nearby or racing through the trees in the body of a limber little squirrel. As she finished washing her body, she was contemplating another such excursion when she noticed she was being watched. It was just the merest of movements in the trees, but enough to alert Madison to her voyeur. She had a pretty good idea who it was too, without using her psychic abilities. And it was time she taught them a lesson. Without giving away the fact that she knew she was being watched, Madison continued to bathe herself. When she had finished, she made her way to the bank, smiling and humming softly. Suddenly a soft shimmering glow surrounded engulfed her whole body and she faded away into nothingness. But it was not for long before her spirit made its way into the nearby trees. Madisons onlookers heart sunk when he saw her fade into nothingness. Her spirit walking abilities were well known amongst their people. He began to back away from the tree line, found himself immobilized. And then he heard her voice...inside of his head. Billy, did you like what you saw? Did you enjoy watching me naked?! Madison asked while her spirit took complete control over the young Cherokees muscled frame. There was a brief moment of resistance and then he was hers completely. By possessing him, she had complete access to his memories, his personality and his abilities. Like Madison, Billy had special gifts or what the white eyes would call super powers. She could see how he desperately wanted to be apart of that world, dress in colorful costumes and be a so called superhero. Although Madison already knew that these were Billys desires, she had never realized how much he yearned for this. What was even more surprising was that the only thing keeping him anchored to their small village...was her. Since they were children, she always knew he cared for her, his constant teasing a sure sign of that Earth Mother assured her. And this is what made Madison tease Billy: when her spirit self entered someones body the two began to merge as she slowly began to become them. It was always an incredible effort to maintain her sense of self as the memories, desires, idiosyncratic ticks and mannerisms of those she possessed knew the vessel far better then she. But she had been practicing on the wide array of creatures that populated the forest around her small village. Though not far off, the modern world went about its day to day, the land her people managed to hold onto since before the first pirate stepped off a boat and claimed land for some far away monarch, remained untouched. This allowed Madison to share souls with beast as large as elk, wolves and occasionally majestic brown bear behemoths. She would soar with swallows on the morning updrafts and swim with salmon in the bustling streams when it was warm at high noon. Billy, or Sentinel as he insisted, was no salmon. As she made her way up the wide winding worn down path back to the main village, a particularly wicked idea crept into her/their head: if Sentinel enjoyed watching her naked without her permission so much, then how would he like it if he was seen naked without HIS permission...BY THE WHOLE VILLAGE!!! Madisons gifts allowed her to share the wheel as it was, basically allowing those whom she possessed full awareness of what she was doing with their body. She had also become strong enough through her rigorous practicing, to repress their awareness completely. She found this aspect of her powers most useful when helping Earth Mother with a difficult birth. In her village, there was no modern medicine or technology, so Madison would take over during the long hours of child birth that some times stretched to many days. However, Madison could reach into someones essence and bring out their full potential; she could find their greatest strengths and use their natural abilities to their ultimate zenith. At the moment though, she was content to be naughty with her abilities. Normally Madison wouldnt do something like this but one of the effects of her powers was that the person she possessed influenced her essence: the longer she stayed inside someone, the longer the risk that she could become lost. Luckily she only planned on staying inside Billy long enough to have him walk back into the village naked as the day he came into the world. Oh my God: look everybody, Billys naked! Laughing to herself, Madison exited Billys body still in her spirit form and invisible. Leaving Billy groggy and disoriented...and of course naked on what was a particularly brisk morning, Madison quickly passed her immaterial body through the thick woven tarp that comprised the mall of the modest hut she shared with Earth Mother. Slipping on a simple yet modest brown floor length dress and heavy cloak, Madison emerged from the hut on the other side of the commotion Billy was causing trying to explain why he was in the woods with no clothes on. Madison felt a tinge of guilt mixed with her sense of justified amused vengeance, and was on her way to help salvage whatever remaining dignity Sentinel had remaining when suddenly two very strange...strangers appeared from right behind where Billy was pulling on a pair of jeans someone had thrown him. When Madison and the tall pale stranger with long wavy hair locked eyes across the short distance she felt the most intense force blast through the core of her being as his eyes suddenly ignited with a radiant blaze of greenish energy and Madison let out a deep screech and the last thing she saw as she fell over, fainting, was the look of pure rage on the face of Billy as he turned to the emerging strangers: the large fiery-eyed one in particular. ******************** Moments earlier... Francois and Master Kofi descended from the clear morning sky and dismounted their Pegasuss made from the seemingly living blue greenish smoke that emanated from the diminutive and odd old man. Francois couldnt believe how drastically his life had changed in just a matter of days: one day he only knows his small, simple corner of the world and the next that entire world is razed to the ground and from the smoldering embers of that wreckage is the discovery of a secret world of super...gods?!! Francois wasnt sure how much he believed of what the impish Yoda like character had told him as they traveled all the way to America. On Pegasus made of living clouds. Yeah, Francois thought to himself as the winged horses dissipated back into Master Kofis small wooden staff, this is definitely not weird! Nonetheless, Francois followed his excitable guide through an old forest to where there were raised voices and laughter. Francois had no idea who they intended to meet in this foreign land, but was greatly heartened by the sounds of laughter and play. That sensation ended as soon as Francois stepped into the clearing and found himself surrounded by a village of what appeared to be what Americans referred to as Native Americans. He didnt know what reception to expect but the sequence of events that transpired upon the locking of eyes with the olive skinned Native girl with straight hair as long and black as his. When their eyes met it violently brought forth that incredible power that he recently discovered within himself. But he did not want to bring that creature hear to these innocent people, not knowing if he could control it. Or would even want to. He shivered at the that last thought and fought to gain control of his body and new found abilities! Unfortunately, three things happened simultaneously: the girl screamed and fainted, some shirtless guy turned to dirt and Francois exploded into dark green flames. As Master Kofi shielded his eyes and yelled No!, he desperately urged Francois to control himself. But Francois was gone and in his place stood the midnight black winged wolfman Animus. He let out a thunderous howl that sent the villagers scurrying and flexed his massive angel wings, creating a small maelstrom of air that rocked the gargantuan surrounding trees to their ancient roots.
