After their disastrous day at the beach, Summer decided to chill at Elle's house and learn more about that mysterious power Elle used to transform into a spandexed yellow warrior that Elle called a Gaoranger.
And Summer thought that she knew all what it meant to be a Changling, boy was she wrong. If you got a cool outfit out of it, then Summer defiantly wanted hers.
She didn't necessarily want to be a hero, she just thought it looked pretty sweat and wanted to see what she looked like in one.
Elle walked back into the den with a bottle of liquor in one hand and a pair of glasses clutched in the other. Today had been mixed to say the least - on the one hand she had met someone like her, but on the other the two of them got attacked by a Fomoric Scorpion. So it was interesting at least.
"I figured you might want something to drink" Elle said, having put on a blouse and skirt since she left the beach. "It's been a weird day."

"That's an understatement," Summer smirked, gladly accepting the glass, "So, let's not beat around the bush any longer. What was that thing? You know, the giant freakin' scorpion that came out of the sand and attacked us?"
Ignorance was bliss, but Summer felt being a Changling and all she should at least know some things and not be a complete walking target..
"I found its name in an old book" Elle explained. She took a long drink from her glass a half second after she poured it, then poured some in Summer's glass. "Its a demonic creature called a Fomori, or at least one form it can take. This one was stronger than the usual band." She explained, trying to remember what Eagle had taught her. They're the footsoldiers of a dark God, who may or may not be slowly waking up."

Summer just stared at her for a complete moment, "You're joshing with me right? You know how ridiculous that sounds, a dark god? I'm a goddamn actual mermaid and even I think that's a little hard to believe.."
She sat back and took a deep drink. She was going to need it.
"Believe me or don't, but you asked" Elle said. "But that God had a role to play in you existing. His stronger soldiers, the Org, would sometimes sire children with humans, forcibly if they had to. And sometimes the ancient animals that fought them bound a piece of themselves into a child sired in such a.."
Elle stood up and extended her wings. "We were among the lucky ones."

Summer nearly dropped her glass as the color drained from her skin, "My mother... was an Org? That.. explains somethings..I always thought she was just some highway hooker that didn't want to take care of a crying screaming snot nosed brat, but now I hear she's some servant of a dark god.."
Elle sat there, letting Summer work through that deep series of revelations. It's not fun to go through, but she knew Summer would have to deal with it.

She sighed, "I'm alright, no need to be concerned. After all, one of your parents in an Org too.. I mean it is surprising and totally sucks, but not like I actually knew her, not like I actually loved her..."
She sighed again before taking a drink, "So i'm fine. Now please continue. Tell me about that power you used back at the beach to fight the Fom-whatsit."
"That is what happens when you work in unison with the spirit tied to your soul" Elle explained. "When he channels his power through you, you can become greater. It's exhilarating" Elle said, smiling as she explained it, her fingers locked.

"I see.." she said, "And how might I go about getting such a unison? Cause it would be pretty awesome admittedly, at least as a trial run. I mean you must fight Orgs and are parents are also Orgs so that could potentially get awkward down the road, but if I get attacked by more of those scorpion things or whatever, it would be nice to have something useful to defend myself with."
"My powers.." she frowned, "Aren't that useful outside of water admittedly.."
"For that" Elle said, "you're gonna have to talk to Shark himself. And for that, you have to go inside yourself. Or have an Org knife to the throat, but meditation is simpler."

She opened an eye after several moments passed, "So huh, is something supposed to be happening right now or am I just doing it wrong?"
Summer had always thought of herself as a pretty chill person so mediating should been a breeze, but still, what Elle was talking about, her actually communicating with her inner shark spirit thing, didn't seem to happening for whatever reason.
