​​​​[ Having had time to recover from the fight, Wanda looks no worse for wear. She's outside in the abandoned village, out of the glare of sunlight, moving her fingers slowly. Thin red wisps of hex energy weave around her fingers. A small rock, part of a doorframe, and a water bottle are moving in a slow, lazy circle like they're being turned on an invisible Ferris wheel. ]

​​​​[ She's quiet at first, concentrating. Then, she pulls the water bottle into one hand. The other two objects keep circling. ]

What is this called, where you are from?

​​​​[ Her mouth curves in dry amusement. ]

Is it magic?

[scarletcast]

What would you call it?

[dailydouble]

Personally? An exercise of will.

[scarletcast]

What have you seen it do?

[dailydouble]

Nearly destroy the universe. Among other things.

[scarletcast]

And who wielded it?

[ Someone extremely powerful, to have done such. ]

[dailydouble]

That time? A godling, attempting to become a god.


[ The implication being, of course, that this was not an isolated incident. ]

[scarletcast]

You must get tired of saying I told you so.

[dailydouble]

No, I cannot say I ever have.

[scarletcast]

And where do you stand, in all this? At the mercy of these gods?

[dailydouble]

We are all at the mercy of the Three, if they decide to take an interest.

But I suppose I must admit to being a godling.

[scarletcast]

[ More power than a mortal, at least. ]

Their power is greater than yours, and yours greater than humans?

[dailydouble]

Yes, our relative power could be ranked like that.
