Chapter 1:
"You are to attempt to gain a response from one of the creatures in these cells," an elder man in long flowing robes said to the young man he led through the stone hallway. There were barred doors with light coming through half of them. Various creatures were locked behind the doors, some with chains, others loose.
"But I am untrained," the boy replied, his blue eyes were wide in shock at the command. He walked next to his elder in a much lighter colored robe.
"We do not expect you to be able to gain their attention. Only that you try. If there is at least notice we will know if you have the ability of the beasts. It does not always manifest in one of your age. But we try every few years."
The young man paused to look in each cell. Each creature had a small habitat that had been created by the Mage's guild to keep them comfortable and cared for without the possibility of escaping.
He got one huff for his troubles. He reached the end of the corridor and his elder placed a hand on his shoulder, aiming to turn him back around to leave the way they came, but something caught his attention.
"Come, Novice Ianto," the elder chided.
"But there is something that way," Ianto countered. He felt a pull from the center of his being.
"None have ever noticed," the elder replied. "How is it you know?"
"I feel something," Ianto replied as he moved towards the cell. It was around the corner and out of sight from the other cells. He walked up the the archway which had no door on it. He was surprised and yet, unconcerned by the development. He looked inside and noted was looked to be a man wearing only a piece of cloth around his waist under a flowing water source. "Who is he?"
"Be careful, Novice!" the elder warned sharply.
The man didn't respond to the two people in his cell. His eyes were mostly closed and the water cascaded down over his naked chest and soaked him thoroughly. His hair lay plastered to his head and he was posed in a crouch with one hand on the floor and one on his knee.
Ianto took a few steps closer to the man before he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.
"Look closer, Novice, notice him," the elder said.
Ianto nodded and looked closer and the man before him shimmered. As he looked a pair of graceful dark brown; nearly black, horns curled from the man's temples behind his slightly pointed ears, and his nails were long and sharp looking. And as he continued to look the other man over he noticed a pair of bat like wings protruding from the man's back that were the color of the sky as the moon rose and and a tail to match. "He is not human as he first appeared."
"No he is not."
Ianto looked back up at the creature's face and noticed the eyes were now open and staring right into his. The pupils were slit and the eyes were a brilliant shade of blue with hints of green. The gaze lasted for several moments before the eyes slid shut again.
"What was that?" Ianto asked.
"He saw you!" the elder exclaimed happily.
"What does that mean? And why is he in the water?"
"The water keeps him out of time, to allow him to wait for the right person to come along. And he saw you. He never notices anyone in here. No matter what they do. He has accidentally hurt people because he did not see them and he flexed either his tail or wings and knocked into them."
"And that means?"
"He will be yours to command one day, Novice. Come! There is much to do."
"Yes, Elder Jones."
