Hear my call from where you are, spirits of the land near and far; I call to thee that we might work as one, and in my calls, I know ye shall come.   My eyes fly open, and my mouth gapes in a silent gasp for air. "Atticus...." My name...someone is calling my name. "Atticus..." The husky, phantom voice calls again, and I feel a pull; I must go to whomever it is that calls.    A wisp of shadow, a faint puff of cool air I leave my dark confines and follow the voice that lures me to its owner like a moth to a flame.    My arrival to the forest glade is marked by the uptick in the wind, the trees sway to and fro, their long branches moving to the beat of a silent song. You stand there in the clearing, your face upturned towards the sky, waiting for whomever or whatever will answer your call. My winds blow through your hair and tug at your clothes.    I circle around you, my form a dark mist, like the fog rolling off the sea in the early morning. "Tell me who you are." My command is carried to you on the breeze as an intimate whisper between lovers. The power eminating off you hits me, and I'm in awe. Then I notice you're a novice, but your potential is too much for me to pass up.    I stop circling you, and the wind abruptly stops. My form shifts and shimmers and begins to form a shape. "Tell me who you are." I repeat again in a deep, hushed tone. I move forward, my form becoming more solid, and taking the form of a man.

"I've heard your call, and I've answered." My form shifts again: "I'm the one called Atticus, the spirit of wind and storms." To prove my words, a swift breeze envelopes you, lifts you briefly from the ground, and disappears as quickly as it appeared. "I'm bonded to you; your words are my command,I'm your faithful servant and companion."    My form shifts back to the mist, and shadows and I disappear from your sight. Im still here, and the winds pick up again, and my sweet whisper of a voice comes to you once again on the cool currents. "Tell me who you are and how I will assist you."
