Catronia Byrne
Icy Veins
Being part of the Service Corp rarely came with easy days. You were essentially on call round the clock to go anywhere and everywhere there were people in need. To that end
Anthony Gray Sun
was prepared at all times for his call to action. Though, there were those rare ones, those calls that just didn't make any sense. One day, in the wee hours of the morning, there was one such call. It was not a fire, in fact it was the opposite, a rather large blizzard had formed in one of the middle residential districts. The going theory was a malfunction with the weather control units in that block.
Whatever the reasoning, it had caused mounds of snow to form in the direct flow of speeder traffic. That would be bad enough, but there was also a thick wall of ice that had formed directly in front of several speeders. That did not look like any snowstorm that would form naturally, malfunctioning weather control or otherwise.
The real cause, the one thing that was behind all this havoc? A young girl, one who had it just landed in the heart of the city. She'd seen speeders before, in small numbers and from a distance. This was a whole different experience from the small, quiet towns of Sarkhai. Catronia had found her sense overstimulated, and panic sunk in. Given her powers, that was a particularly dangerous situation to be in. Her mind was telling her she was in danger, and the force reacted to her fear.
Fear was a powerful emotion, especially when reaching out to the force. It could cause any number of strange and arcane abilities to manifest. In Catronia's case her heart wanted a wall, something to keep the loud and dangerous things away. So with a wave of her hand, a wall was made.
"Not here, not now," She thought, "Now these people will think I'm a monster too!"
She hunkered down there, surrounded by falling snow. With her hands on her head and tears welling up in her bright blue eyes, she wanted it all to fall away. Fear was consuming her mind, until the sound of sirens filled her ears.
