Island Life
The island was nice enough, a tropical climate.  Ganthet had brought them to the beach there, and began his instruction.

"Consider, if you will, the different emotional entities, how they are paired, and from where they arise," Ganthet began.

"Rage and Love, for example, are emotions that are directed towards something.  You feel love for your companion, or rage at those who have wronged you.  They sit the farthest from the center of Will that is at the core of the Emotional Spectrum, because they are emotions of passion, here in one moment, gone in the next, difficult to sustain and yet able to consume one if left to flicker and burn for too long by themselves.

"Greed and Compassion, move closer to the center, and act as more intrinsic emotions.  Greed is a desire for more, never satisfied with what you have, always seeking to possess and control more.  Compassion is the empathy for the suffering of others, the understanding of other viewpoints and situations, feeling for them and seeking to mend them.  These emotions exist more solidly, more states of being that flare-ups of passion.

"Fear and Hope just left and right of center, are different in that while those are emotions that may be felt, as the Emotional Spectrum understands them, they are emotions that can be caused in others.  The Fears that claw at us in the dark, the Hope that tomorrow will be better.  Those who wield the Lights of Fear and Hope are beacons of these emotions, fanning the flames of those emotions around them.  They know them, and how to wield them to best effect.

"Willpower stands at the center, and stands alone.  It is the ability to overcome fear, to turn hope into action.  It is the ability to fight to make compassion a reality and to resist greed's temptations.  It is the ability to temper the fires of rage and the passions of love with the need for clarity and reality.  Though my brothers are wrong in ignoring the other Lights, they were correct when we believed that the Light of Willpower has the potential to be the strongest of them all."

He looked them over.  "To know your Light is to know yourself.  Think, and search within you.  What about you drew your Light to you?"

"Umm...okay. Yeah, I still have the energy from it." He indicates the markings on his forearms that peak beyond where his shirt is rolled up to.

"I want you to think about how that felt -- heck, feels, if you've still got some. Get the whole sympathetic vibrations thing going. Feel on the green wavelength."

Oh dear. Harry gulps audibly, he'd never done this before and now was certainly not the time to screw up. "Okay I'll...do it. And what happens then?" There was no try in this situation.

"See if you can feel what direction Jess's wavelength is coming from."

Taking a deep breath, Harry closes his eyes and tries to calm down and concentrate. He knew that too much of only one energy wavelength would affect him and make him act more in line with that colour, but the level of green he had now didn't quite qualify for that.

Another deep breath and he tries to block everything out and just concentrate on the feeling of absorbing green. Good thing she picked that colour, it was the one he was most used to absorbing. Green green green, try to think of how that felt, that feeling of indomitable will, almost bullheadedness, that what you were going to do, you were going to do. Think of how Jess was when she was set on something and...

"In the jungle, kind of...to my left and behind me. Jess should be that way," he says with his eyes shut tight and with more surety than he says anything normally.

When he opens his eyes whatever extra confidence being on that green wavelength had given him slips away. He'd try again when they got closer. "That's a good idea." Harry finally smiles slightly, a little relieved there was a plan now. "That's why you're the boss."

Cindy allows herself a moment to preen slightly. "Thanks, Harry. You're sweet. Now let's get going." And those stubby little legs are on the go.

Effigies were in the skies, trying to spot the New Guardians.

The effigies weren't exactly the most stealthy, and Harry sees them as they fly around.

He lowers his voice and looks at Cindy for direction. "Umm...Cindy?"

"Oh dear." A deep breath. "Excusemebutpleasedon'tlook, excusemebutpleasedon'tlook," Cindy does her best at generating a post-hypnotic suggestion even as she's running toward the trees, gesturing for Harry to come along.

Fortunately for Cindy, the Effigies have little willpower of their own, just enough to make some basic judgements. Her power is more that sufficient to convince the patrol--for now anyway--that there's nothing to see there.

"It's lucky you can do that," he whispers as he follows her direction and runs toward the trees, though he makes sure not to overtake her.

"I know, I'm sorry. I mean lucky you have that power," he responds while looking relieved the effigies were flying in another direction.

Gone for now, but there were others in the skies too. They would need to keep moving.

Saishu isn't trying to hide, and has been pointed in Cindy's direction - seeing the Effigies, she heads right for them, drawing a blade in each hand. She isn't sure precisely where the others are, just their vague direction - but the threats are obvious.

The Effigies fired bolts of flame at Saishu.
