the living room and Luke picked up a throw blanket off the back of the couch. He sat on the floor in front of the couch and cradled the blanket to his chest. I took a seat directly in front of him so I could watch his every move. He started moving slightly, back and forth, in the way that insane people sometimes do to comfort themselves. Back and forth, his face set in relaxation, until the blanket started to glow, brighter and brighter. It grew so bright that I had to look away and when I looked back, Luke was holding a beautiful white mink coat.
“Damn,” I gasped and reached out to stroke the super soft fur. “That feels even silkier than mink.”
“ Because it's not mink,” Luke laughed and stood up.
He helped me to my feet and then held the coat out to me, open so I could put it on. I grinned in delight and slipped into it, sighing. I turned to face him again, stroking the fur appreciatively. I'm an animal lover and I really don't approve of harvesting tons of tiny minks just to make them into a coat but I couldn't resist the softness. Wait, he said it wasn't mink.
“What is it, if it's not mink?” I cocked my head at the Devil.
“ It's magic, Carus,” Azrael had taken a seat on the couch, his black wings cushioning and framing him in the shape of a heart.
“ No animals were hurt in the making of this coat,” Luke laughed.
“ What?” I twirled in it, appreciating it even more. “That's fantastic. I'd have learned how to do this years ago if I'd known that not only could I make clothes but I could make animal friendly fur.”
“ And leather,” Azrael grinned. “How do you think I get my leather pants?”
“ Oh, I love your leather pants so much more now,” I waggled my brows at him. “Leather! I can make my own hunting gear now! This is sweet!”
“ Well first you have to learn how to do it,” Luke gestured to the coat. “You can keep it if you like.”
“ Oh that's good because you were going to have to pry it off me,” I joked. “Thank you.”
“ You're welcome,” Luke nodded. “I never liked that blanket anyway. Didn't really go with the room. Now did you see how I entered a meditative state first?”
“ Yes, does the rocking help?” I took a seat beside Azrael and Luke sat in a chair on my other side.
“ For me it does,” he shrugged, “but use whatever means is helpful to get you into that state. You're a witch, right? You should have no problem with that part of it.”
“ Absolutely, it's the same technique I use to tap into the Aether when I'm working a spell.”
“ Exactly!” Luke motioned at me with his pointer finger. “That's the state you need. So think of it like working a spell, you visualize the result you want and then manifest it in the Aether.”
“ Yes, I project the image of it there and then the Aether will hopefully project it back into the Human Realm.”
“ So instead of projecting it into the Aether,” Azrael took over, “project your intent into the item you want to change.”
“ Hey, who's doing the explaining here?” Luke gave his son an irritated glare.
“ Sorry, Dad,” Azrael chuckled. “Go ahead.”
“ Well it's done now,” Luke huffed. “That's pretty much it. You push your intent into an object, seeing it as you want it to be in your head, and then superimpose that image over the item. If you're in your own territory, you are the equivalent of the Aether. You are the power fueling the territory. So whatever you tell an item to be, it shall be. As long as that item originated in the God Realm, preferably your territory. I mean, you can't bring in something from the Human Realm and transform it. Its basic construct is different. Which is why it's important for you to practice this. The Void is made of the same stuff that the God Realm is. Learn to manipulate matter in the God Realm and you'll be able to do so in the Void.”
“ Seems simple enough,” I nodded.
“ Ah, famous last words,” Luke shared a knowing grin
