I sat on a tree stump and looked at Ruby and Caelaro.
"So," Ruby said.
"So," I replied, nervously. Caelaro was peering curiously at me. I turned the colour of tomatoes.
"Has Rin told you yet?" Ruby asked.
"What, about you needing help? Yeah... I guess," I said. "With what?"
Ruby and Caelaro exchanged glances. "Well, we can sense something. Y'know, something bad. We were wondering if you could help us find out what it is, seeing as you're psychic and all," Caelaro told me. I nodded slowly.
"Okay. Want me to do it now?" I asked them. Ruby nodded. I pressed my lips together and closed my eyes, taking one long, deep breath. I jumped off the tree stump and planted my feet on the ground. I turned to face the stump, and laid my hands on the wood.
What happened next is undescribable. I just... imagined, imagined that my feet were growing roots into the ground and connecting me with the clearing. And I imagined poles of light running from my hands, into the tree stump. I connected my thoughts with the clearing.
At first, everything was all fine. Pure, pretty, colourful. I had an image of the clearing stuck inside my mind. But then... then I felt nervous. Nausious. A feeling crept into the depths of my stomach. Not anger, not sadness... fear? It was something like that. Whatever it was, it wasn't nice. From the corners of my mind, black clouds started invading the picture of the clearing. I concentrated hard. I saw an image of a black sun and a white moon. They merged together to make one big grey cloud that began to rain. I saw images of animals screaming, crying, running to get out of the poisonous clearing. Dark shapes slunk around in my mind. I felt tears springing to my mind. And suddenly I was invaded by a cold, dark feeling, and the image of the clearing started spinning, and my mind lost control and I felt like I was going to throw up and everything was tinted grey and -
Everything went black. I felt a thud as my body hit the ground.
Silence.

"Alexiel? Alexiel?" I heard a distant voice echoing. My eyes sprung open. Rin, Caelaro and Ruby were peering down at me worriedly.
"Wha...?" I murmured drowsily.
"You passed out," Rin said. I sat up. Ruby and Rin pulled me to my feet.
"What did you get from the reading? You were freezing cold," Caelaro said.
"Yeah... ice-cube cold," Ruby told me. I shook my head, squeezing my eyes shut.
"No, don't close your eyes. Keep them open. Sleep is the last thing you need right now, you need to keep talking," Caelaro said. I opened my eyes sleepily.
"There's... dark things coming. Fear. Sadness. Evil, dark forces..." I murmured. Ruby rubbed my back.
"Then we must migrate."
