on the subject of Powers

it's 1:04 AM here in Gotham. I can't sleep, so I decided I would blog.


I got my powers not too long ago, when I was visiting Spain (and subsequently ran into Gata). I don't speak a bit of Spanish, and I was there for a summer exchange course (I wanted to go to Germany, but all it's spots were taken, and Spain had a few left, and I was stuck with it. I'd already paid for the course, so I was going to go with it.) Gata was my host-sister, so that's how we met...

anyway...gata spoke a little English at the time, just enough to get things like "pass the _____" and things like that. So, one day, I decided I was going to try to teach her some english, just so communication wouldn't be quite so hard, and we got to learning food names (apple, banana, cereal, cake, the like)

after about a week of that, she was speaking a little more English (she caught on fast, but couldn't remember certain things, like days of the week and numbers), and we decided to go to an occult store so I could get my sabbat things, and I decided to see if the people in Barcelona had any particular ways of doing their sabbats.

so, we went to the occult store, and there was some miscommunication or something, and I bought a couple spells written in Spanish, sabbat materials, and a ring. the spells were SUPPOSED to be sabbat scripts, but turned out to be the spells that gave me shadow powers, and nightmare things.

Gata was helping/watching. (she would keep saying "let me in the circle!" every time I read off the spell sheets and butchered a word, until eventually I said "just stay in the circle, you're going to break it if you keep going in and out" so she stayed.)

about half-way into the thing, I get a funny feeling in my legs and gata starts screaming "¡oh mi dios! ¿adónde sus piernas fueron!?"(rough translation: I asked her what she'd said later on, and it was "oh my god, where'd your legs go?!")I look down, and I'm sinking into the ground. I start screaming and generally freaking out, when Gata grabs my arms and yanks me up, and we look for a hole for me to have sunken into. there was no hole, so we finish the sabbat.




I think I'll leave Gata to tell how she got her powers... she wasn't born with them, that's for sure.
