    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Open Friends by Souls

"Here, I can help you." Inferno said, picking up a handful of berries and started washing them. "Why can't you teach me that soul trick, anyway?" he asked, making smalltalk.
 
((Note that they might live in forest, but they don't really live like humans, more like the old cavemen if anything, good thing we at least have rock bowls with water in! :D))
"Because you have no idea what you really can do with the soul in your grasp once you know it, if you're irresponsible with such a power you can end up dragging out your own soul, killing yourself" She dropped a berry in the bowl of water, "And I once knew someone who could reshape a soul making that soul a completely different being, and even control the position of her soul in her own body" She took another berry, removed some small pieces of leaves on it and dropped it in the water, "A soul is usually in the middle of your chest, this Pokémon could send her own soul to tip of her finger" She took another twig, and began picking berries of it, "And trust me, there's a lot of things about me and my past you don't know, and you don't want to know them either, you're better off that way"
 
"Please, have you ever known me to be irresponsible with any of my powers? I don't think so. I only use my abilities and strengths to protect this part of the forest. It could be really helpful if we are ever attacked for me to be able to control souls." he said, putting some more berries in the bucket of water, washing them, and putting them in the drying bowl.
 
"You misunderstand what kind of power it really is" Celina said, "I don't think you'd abuse that power, but you'd use use them the wrong way" She threw a twig at the ground, "I know that. Both of the two people I know use that power the wrong way, the first one should be dead, and the other one is me. The first one was the one who I got the knowledge from, as well" She smiled, "It's fun, the original user uses it wrong, and the one who uses the powers after seeing her tries to not use it at all" she took the berries and put them in a big stone bowl of water which she threw into the air, and kicked it from from the underside with a blaze kick, not hard enough to break it, but hard enough to heat it, making the water boil. "It helps that my father was a Infernape, after all!" She said, pouring some sweet honey in the bowl.
 
Nasir had been watching the conversation with his psychic powers.

"If I may interrupt," he telepathed to Inferno."Celina is right. Souls are powerful things, and the ability to control them even more. It's extremely easy to slip up, even in practice, on almost everything. I suggest you don't try to learn. Doing so will put no one but yourself at risk."
 
((Oh.))

Kamira flinched at Lucaino at first, but then calmed down. "Oh... hello, my friend. How did the discussion of souls start, exactly?"
 
"That's fine, Storm. I suppose you are right, Celina. I just thought it would help. Maybe some day. Now, what was the name of that Gardevoir that you knew, but thought should be dead? Perhaps it was the same one. He did say that he had many names."
 
"That one was a GIRL!" Celina yelled, "For Arceus sake! And over a hundred years! She did just look like late teenage, thought" She turned to Inferno, "And I did kind of say that her name was Morgan, you're getting senile, aren't ya?" She said, poking fun at the old Blaziken.
 
"Hey, don't make fun of a Blaziken in his old age! You are no young child yourself, you know. Also, you never did mention that her name was Morgan. But, obviously this Gardevoir knew you, or at least of you. Possibly Morgan's son? We should go looking."

((How old is Celina, anyway? Also, is that Gardevoir important to the plot? I'm assuming so.))
 
((She's 24, and Luciano is 6 years. And to answer your other question, I won't say anything yet, spoilers ain't my thing))
((By the way, I did say that her name was Morgan, at the last post at page 2))

"She was traveling" Celina answered, "All the time, so I think Morgan didn't have any time for children, she had something important to do" Celina took the bowl with boiling berry-water and poured it into another bowl, which wasn't heated, "There, just wait for it to cool, then you can take some" She walked out of the simple hut, "I'll go for a little walk, ALONE! I need some time to clear my mind, OK?"
 
"Fine." Inferno said, but then thought: I should follow her, up in the trees. I can be very quiet, and I think she is up to something.
He leaped up into his treehut, and then over onto a branch, following her and looking from a distance, so she couldn't hear.
 
"Inferno, I can still sense your Aura" Celina said, walked with her eyes closed, "Stop following me, can't you trust a young Lucario just wanting to go for a walk?"
 
Storm dropped low into the forest, and scented the air. There was prey nearby, she could tell. A bush twitched, and Storm whirled around with a Flamethrower. She went and picked up a dead Ratatta, eating it while she flew back to the others.
((OMNOMNOMNOM))
 
Inferno jumped in front of her, and said, "I cannot trust you because that Gardevoir was looking for you. I have to watch, for your safety and the safety of the others of my forest."
 
"Inferno, I can take care of myself, paranoid old fart!" Celina said loudly, and suddenly turned around and said: "Did you hear that?" She looked behind a bush, and turned to Inferno, "Is this the Gardevoir you spoke about? Because he's sleeping, and I think we should leave him to do that"
 
"That just happens to be him. Maybe we should leave him to his sleeping, but I'm gonna stay here and watch. And NEVER, EVER call me an old fart." He then jumped back up into a tree, where he caught himself a Taillow and ate it, while waiting for the Gardevoir to wake up.
 
"Can't you just leave that poor guy alone?" Celina said, as she walked away, "By the way, watching people while they sleep is wrong" She walked with her eyes closed, thinking. What could that Gardevoir want her? She had run as far as she could after "meeting" Morgan, who should be dead by now. And their Aura was completely different, so he was absolutely NOT her son, which Celina didn't expect either. Thinking of Morgan wasn't what she wanted to do, not after what happened when she met Morgan, and what happened to her trainer, whose name and face she would never forget. She stopped at a cliff, and looked down in the water below, and then at the sunset. "What should I do, Luciano? What should I do?" She told herself, staring at the horizon.
 
Storm dropped into the forest, hearing some Pokemon talking. She spotted Celina on the tip of a cliff, looking across to the setting sun. Storm landed behind her.
"Hey, Celina. What's up?" Then looking worried, "You're not going to jump, are you?"
 
Celina turned around, seeing Storm, and said: "No, of course not!" She said, and tuned around, looking at the horizon again, "I just want to look at the sky once in a while, it reminds of the old days. The old days when I had a trainer" She was silent for a while, then said: "Before he was killed, killed by Morgan, that selfish scum" Once again, she was silent, looking at the sky. "Storm, can you keep a secret? I really need to talk about this, and I need to be able to trust you. If you tell a single soul, I will never be able to forgive you"
