This Deeper Feeling

Vintas really didn't know what to do with himself as he waited. He went out to the car after several hours of sleep. Every time that he woke he would check her, and the last time he noticed that she had the start of their body marking showing on her skin. It started over one breast and was now starting to traced down her side to her hip. That was very encouraging and exciting. 

The markings that ranged in colors from silver, black and white were something that all truly woke Atlantean's had. It was the waking of the powers, the marking of the primal light that claimed them as its own. He knew that over time as Atlanteans used less ability, and hid themselves it would start to go dormant. The first thing to happen was the ancestral markings would fade first. It was both a protection and a danger.
