"Azucena, sweetheart, are you really sure about this?" Bel asked her friend with an extremely skeptical look on her face. "A fortune teller? Really?" she added her tone slightly mocking as she followed the younger girl across the semi-crowded courtyard.

"Why not? I, it can't hurt, right?" Azucena replied glancing at the blonde girl, somewhat unsure now, as they neared the meeting place.

"Geez, Azu..." Bel frowned at her innocence, "Fortune telling can hurt," the young goddess stated heatedly. "Especially in the hands of the uninitiated," she remarked giving her a wary look. Bel, herself, could see people's life paths and destinies, but couldn't and wouldn't prophetize. Doing so, and getting it wrong, causing the recipient grief, had serious consequences to which Bel had no intention of finding out about ever, and so kept her mouth shut about the future of those around her... even if meant the future of someone, like her friend Azucena, was placed in the hands of a potential charlatan. In fact, Bel's plan was to dissuade Azucena from believing anything that she knew to be untrue or might cause Azucena unnecessary grief.

"He's not uninitiated," Azucena remarked in an almost defensive tone.

"All fortune tellers, unless they are like 90 years old and have been practising for 80 years, are uninitiated," Bel shot back, not at all offended by Azucena's defensiveness.

"Bel, please, just...don't, I know what I'm doing, and it's just for fun, okay?" Azu said with a sigh as they approached the area where they were supposed to meet Lucan. She knew Bel meant well, but if she kept on about fortune-tellers being frauds or something similar she was going to scream.

Lucan sat cross-legged in the grass, a metal pan and a pitcher of water besides him, the visions he'd been having and showing had proven an interesting experience. Just today he'd been contacted by a girl wanting him to show her her potential future, he'd of course agreed.

He'd smile and wave as the girls approached him, "heyo, happy you came," he was excited for this, it was a fun power, well it usually was, not everything he saw was pleasant but he'd been lucky and hadn't had many of them. "Take a seat and we'll begin."

Setting the metal pan in front of him he'd pour the water into it, humming a bit, "ok, so, I can attempt to seek events dealing with certain things, otherwise I can go in blind and see what we find." He'd grin and put his hand into the water, "who's first?"

Azucena smiled and waved when she saw the young man, Lucan, waiting for them sitting there cross-legged. She recognised him from around the school. They even had a few classes together actually.

"Hi there, I didn't realise it was you," she said happily as she sat down on the ground and looked at the things before him. "This is what you use to scry," she asked Lucan with wide-eyed curiosity.

Bel, upon approaching the meeting place, raised an eyebrow when she saw the metal pan and water, glancing then at the boy for a long moment, she didn't know what to think. She couldn't, try as she might, get a read on him. Her abilities were almost zero thanks to Samhain. Nodding in greeting to Lucan, deciding to not cause waves - yet - Bel just indicated that Azu was his intended client. "Azucena is the one wanting a reading," she stated leaning against a tree, watching them closely.

"Yup, through water I can have a show visions," he'd give a smile, "showing is better, more exciting for the people I'm scrying for." It was something he'd quickly grown to enjoy, he refused to accept money for his services, it was all free.

"Now, keep in mind that what I show is a potential future event, might happen, might not, all depends in the choices you make." He'd back to the water, his hand having never left it, he'd focus, focus on the water, the future and the vision it'd show.

The water would seem to swirl very slowly, as if a wind was pushing it though no wind was active. Then it'd start to very lightly glow, with bubble beginning to appear, a swirling, glowing pool. Then the water went still, and on it the vision appeared.

It'd Azucena, the world around the girl seemed a blurred, she was facing someone, a man who's face wasn't clear. Then she'd change, her clothes would shift into something very different. Even Lucan raised an eyebrow at what he saw, it was certainly and odd sight, the clothes were unusual. Then the Azucena in the vision took a step forward and the vision ended, the glow faded and the water was still.

Lucan tilted his head curiously and removed his hand, "huh, that was one more of the more unusual visions I've seen." He'd chuckle, "I could try looking for something else for either of you if you'd like," the vision was so vague that it felt a bit unfair to the girls.

Azucena gazed curiously into the water, watching in awe as something seemed to happen. The bubbling and glowing quickly dissipated and a faint vision which became clearer started to appear. She saw herself, and saw her image change into someone different. Nodding at this, Azucena felt a quiet satisfaction. She recognized the transformation, what she knew she could become and what she knew was a secret kept best to herself.

Glancing up at Lucan, Azucena grinned, "Okay, I'd love to see what else you can show me. Unless, of course, Bel is interested?" she enquired looking at her friend curiously.

"Me?" Bel said, surprised, and shaking her head, "No, you can continue if you want, Azu, maybe later," she remarked somewhat skeptically. She had seen the vision in the bowl, and despite the fact that she was, to an extent, impressed by what the water play, the vision she thought was rather vague in her opinion.

Chuckling he'd remove his hand and stretch a bit, "ok, let's see what else the water has to show us." Putting his hand back into the water he'd focus again, focus on the future, focus on what could be, what fight be.

Again the water would slowly swirl, again it'd bubble and finally go still with it starting to glow. He'd go on to show a few visions to her, they showed various things, none of which were particularly exciting.

Then a more interesting vision, it showed Azu speaking to someone, a man perhaps though from another angle it seemed like a woman. They hear distorted echoes of what they were speaking of, some words came out clear though, one that stood out was 'family.'

Lucan hummed in thought as that vision came to an end, it was certainly interesting and he couldn't help but be curious as to what it had to do with Azu. He'd look to the girl, wondering what she'd say, what she'd thought about the vision.

When refused Azucena just shrugged and smiled encouragingly at Lucan, urging him to show her another vision.

Watching with clear fascination as the water swirled and did its thing again, Azucena saw images appear and disappear. None of them very meaningful, and not really of too much interest, until the very last one. The last vision gave Azucena goosebumps as she saw a woman, who she didn't know but seemed familiar somehow and heard the word "family".

Glancing at Bel, who had a slightly awed looked on her face now simply because she knew her friend's past, Azucena then looked at Lucan, "I am adopted. I have been searching for a while now for my parents, or somebody who knew them," she explained to him a bit chilled at the vision and its implications.

Lucan looked between the two girls, quickly realizing that the vision had indeed had an impact. Turning to Azu he'd listen as she explained, humming in thought a little as she finished, "I'll be damned," looking back to the water he'd give it a little flick.

"Well....I hope you find them," he'd say with a nod, "this vision is just a potential future.....but I do hope it comes true, hope it leads to you finding them." It was certainly emotionally the heaviest vision he'd conjured so far, to have had such an impact on the girl.

Glancing at the water he prayed he hadn't given her false hope by showing her that vision. The last thing he wanted to do was break her heart by showing her something she deeply wanted and then taking that away.

"Sure you don't want me to bring a vision up for you?" he'd ask Bel, noting she was bit more impressed with that last vision.

"Go on, try it, Bel, let Lucan show you your future..." Azucena urged as she quickly stood up, walked over to her friend, grabbed her arm and pulled her forward a few steps before she then pushed Bel to sit down on the ground in front of Lucan.

"Azu, please, I don't wa-..." Bel started as her friend pulled her forward and sat her down almost forcefully on the grass. Looking at Lucan then, Bel just shook her head, "Fine, you can do a reading on me." she said relenting somewhat, and deciding to give him a chance. What harm could it do, she figured as she crossed her legs comfortably before her and waited patiently for him to set things up again.

He'd chuckle when Azu dragged her friend over, it was nice seeing their friendship. Plus with the last vision having been so interest he was curious as to what he'd see with her. "I have to say, this has been my most interesting session yet."

The half demon looked at Bel curiously, even she'd been awed by what he'd shown Azu. "Ok, is there any subject you'd wish me to focus on?" he'd ask with a smile, "anything in particular you're interested in?"

He'd place his hand back into the water, "we can always go random again if you'd like," oddly enough going random had so far gotten him more interesting results.
