Before reading I just wanted to say that I'm an empath and that I have dreams about things. Lately they've been getting stranger but they seem to also be getting more accurate...
When I was younger I felt people's emotions all the time. At the time I never thought much about it. All I say were people who were in trouble and needed my help and help them I did.
Later on I became interested in martial arts and fencing. As I grew in my training I learned to control my abilities and for a time it was nice.
Then one day when I was at a tournament I meet a guy who would demolish the competition. At first I was content with leaving him be... But then he broke code and used a technique that almost broke one of my friends ribs. During that moment I had never been so angry in my life. I felt my abilities kick into over time. Suddenly the world shift I felt the earth's energy flow around me.
When it came time for us to spar I thought I could take him on. But I lost control and was unable to fight with a clear head. At the match point I finally gained control of my senses and calmed down. I expected to feel to feel the energy around me dissipate but it didn't. In experimenting I found out that I could control it.
I envisioned myself taking in more and more energy until I was a conduit and it just flowed through me. When it game time to start I stopped up the energy. Then something weird happened. I felt a tingling in the air like it was charged with an insane amount of electricity. I closed my eyes to let some of the power go but the second I tapped into it I felt my body come alive with it.
Feeling the energy around me once again I noticed that my back had wings. One black and the other white, similar to angels. But at the same time it just felt so natural I didn't think about it.
In the end I won the match, the other guy couldn't so much as lay a finger on me. I felt like I could do anything and then I felt drained like all the air inside of me left. I blacked out and that was all I remember from that day.
I'm excited about this ability and I want to be able to control it. To help others and not hurt them. Does anyone have any advice or comments that could help me out here?
