.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlimminent as the sky s eruption.I looked up to see a visible mass of powerswirling in the funnel, looking as if it was ready to fall in around our ears.The animist s mask didn t contradict the thought. A newly born tulpa gains power in one of two ways.The first is by consumingthe heart of someone with a concentrated amount of will and mental strength.A gasp from someone in my troop s circle.The Shadows shifted, almost as one,again, but the Tulpa still didn t move.I hurried on before he did.Not longnow. Eat enough hearts and their strength becomes boundless.The only upkeeprequired? A regular diet of soul sacrifice. Yet there s a second, less bloody, but more powerful way to do this.A meansby which you can instantaneously create a strong, fast, smart, and fullyrealized tulpa.And that is done simply by bestowing a name.Not a formal name, but a proper one.Informal.Common.Given.The Tulpa s fetters began to loosen.Color flashed across the pane of theanimist s mask, and a rumble escaped the funnel, a fractured warning from thesky.I paused, the mask fell blank, and I remembered to pace myself.The exactmoment of Kimber s metamorphosis.Not a moment sooner or later.Not yet. My mother has spent the past decade channeling the fuel of her mortality intothe creation of a doppelgänger, the evolutionary predecessor of a tulpa.Shecould have been the one to provide it with a name, but she s patient and she sgood.Well& good-ish.Tekla was up to speed now, and she joined me to face the Shadow warriors. Anda name would be so much more powerful if provided  By a living Zodiac member, Warren finished, and he too stepped forward, nextto me.The agents of Light flanked me, save Kimber, who was oath-sworn as offlimits. One with the same blood of its creator, no less. One little noun, I said to the Tulpa, watching as the body he d donned beganto shake.Silver zigzagged so furiously beneath his eyes that it leaked fromhis tear ducts and into the watery-thin layer between muscle and flesh,causing him to shine, and it wouldn t have surprised me if his physical moldexploded into a million splintering pieces. Two aspects, a sense and areferent.Something you were never given.The Tulpa s face twisted as a lightning bolt escaped the sky s low funnel, anda howl tore from his throat, probably ripping it from the inside.The Shadowagents jumped as if waking from a trance, and fire erupted in the sky,lightning searching out Kimber like she was a living rod.Agents, both Shadowand Light, shifted on their feet my allies automatically pulling in tight asthe Shadows bent their knees, weight shifting to the balls of their feet butstill waiting for their leader s command.And when my pulse was so strong Itasted the bloody beat in my throat, I opened my mouth.The first arrow of heat lightning struck Kimber, searing her image on thecanyon floor back bowed, limbs twisted awkwardly, mouth open and splayed tothe sky.I screamed, but my voice was lost in the hail of lightning ripping atKimber s prone form.Nobody heard.My mask burst into a kaleidoscope of color.I felt, rather than saw, the Tulpadraw on the reserves of power he d stored to chase the doppelgänger powerafforded him by the loyalty of his agents, the soul energy of his mortalworshippers, and the lives he d stolen to fortify his own and suddenly, on theback of the mask s face, screaming into my own, was an image of him finally,painfully, willfully opening his mouth. Kill them!Lindy was the first to move, barking out a command as she unsheathed an edgedweapon and lunged at Vanessa.Our Leo s bladed fan whipped open and they wereoff in a shower of sparks and smoke, cold darkness gobbling them whole.Felixand Riddick and Gregor all lunged, clashing with the other Shadows in thecenter of the canyon.Warren, more circumspect due to the lack of a conduit,took a more circuitous route, weaving between bodies before pouncing fromoverhead.Chandra ferried blows from behind with Zell s ax, while he continuedto cower behind the Tulpa.I too hung back until my allies could clear the path to the Tulpa, and theyPage 168 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmldid gradually break up and scatter sparks flying every time one conduit metanother, glyphs fired, battling mano a mano, like we were in the Dark Ages allover again.The charged sky continue to pummel at Kimber, but no one tooknote, limbs and cries and weapons whipping in martial fray. Joanna!I d been so focused on securing a defensive position that I didn t hearChandra until she used my real name. Jo!I whirled to find her alone in a rain-drenched crevasse. She s gone!Regan.I glanced back at the Tulpa, whom I could see staring at me, silvered eyesunblinking in the whipping gale, and as yet, unmoving.I can have them both, I thought, and the mask stayed still.I can have it all.I charged three running steps and leaped to the ridge of the battered littlecanyon, following the trail of blood until the storm wiped it away.Then Iused my nose to scent out Regan s desolate agony, and chased her farther intothe darkness.My glyph lit up a mile into the chase, lighting my way onlyenough to see one foot in front of the other, though if Regan looked back, Iknew the wobbling light would alert her to my approach.And I was gaining onher.I could taste the coppery rawness of her blood in my throat.Afteranother half mile, the scent was so strong I knew she was only feet away.But in those few feet between us dropped a fully animated, and thoroughlypissed, Tulpa.I skidded to a halt, backing up in almost the same motion. Um.Hi. I keptbacking up, ankle twisting sharply as I tripped over a boulder, though Irighted myself in time to see a figure limping away into the inky night. Canyou just give me a minute here?I don t know what reserve of strength he d drawn on, but his response was tobellow so loudly he counteracted the gale all around us.My hair blew backfrom my face, and I tripped backward again.Okay, so he was more than pissed.I d ruined everything for him, revealed what must have been long-held plans toboth the Shadows and the Light, and pulled Zoe from his reach once more.Iwondered if there was a chance he d let me live in spite of it.The way hishands fisted kind of made me doubt it.Then a circle of calmness surrounded us, stillness falling like an A-bomb,unnatural after the gale whipping around us.The enclosure for I had no doubtthat s what it was was large enough to allow movement, though still not wideenough for my liking.My glyph lit the whole thing like it was amini-amphitheater.
