[color=gray]“Oh, but sweetheart, you would not like me nearly as much if I stopped being Prickdam. That would mean an end to all this shakiness between us. Admit it, Ciara, you are a huge fan of Prickdam.”[/color] Adam smirked down at her but the look quickly left his face when she took a step away from the wall he just had her against. The darkness just… evaporated. In its place was a lush green meadow. The beauty and serenity of it soothed him just a little and causing his tough guy armor to crack ever so slightly.

 As he took in the meadow he prodded her about her powers, curious to know if she had this power he did not know about. A half hearted chuckle ripped from him at her response. [color=gray]“I don’t know, Ciara. A moment ago, when you were against that wall, you would have been willing to take me anywhere.”[/color] A shock ran up his arm and into his shoulder making all the wombs there bark in agony. [color=gray]“Fuck!”[/color] He quickly pulled his arm from her touch. [color=gray]“Bloody hell… what was that?”[/color] he mumbled as he rubbed his arm gently.

The world around him exploded with color. This was not his cloaking powers. The world never changed when he cloaked, it just became empty like a ghost town. No sound, no people, nothing but shadows and darkness. With a shake of his head, Adam told her [color=gray]“No, this is nothing like my shadow walking. When I step through the world it just becomes empty and dark. No sound, no people, no light. Just grey bleakness.”[/color] He took a few steps away from her only to watch the oddly dark horizon stretch with each step he took. It was almost as if their presence was making this meadow grow. How far out would it expand if he just kept walking towards the horizon?

Ciara’s voice called him back asking him to try something. But what would he try? He knew nothing about this place or how it worked. Then again neither did she and looked at all of the flowers that bloomed everywhere just because she touched the ground.[color=gray] “Okay… maybe all we have to do is touch something…”[/color] Without any better idea, he squatted and pushed his hand to the ground and digging his fingertips into the soft dirt. Nothing happened. He sat there for a heartbeat, then another, and another…

With a frustrated sigh he stood up, [color=gray]“If nothing I do can manipulate this… place… then it has to be your magic.”[/color] He turned towards her and a flash of light had him flinching and covering his eyes. When he finally pulled his hand away from his face, he saw it. The bight mid-day sun that had been over head had vanished and in its place with a purple tinted black night sky. Stars more numerous then he could count twinkled brightly lighting up the grass and flowers around them in a soft glow. [color=gray]“Beautiful…” [/color]He whispered as he turned slowly in a circle taking in the view around him.
