Island Life
The island was nice enough, a tropical climate.  Ganthet had brought them to the beach there, and began his instruction.

"Consider, if you will, the different emotional entities, how they are paired, and from where they arise," Ganthet began.

"Rage and Love, for example, are emotions that are directed towards something.  You feel love for your companion, or rage at those who have wronged you.  They sit the farthest from the center of Will that is at the core of the Emotional Spectrum, because they are emotions of passion, here in one moment, gone in the next, difficult to sustain and yet able to consume one if left to flicker and burn for too long by themselves.

"Greed and Compassion, move closer to the center, and act as more intrinsic emotions.  Greed is a desire for more, never satisfied with what you have, always seeking to possess and control more.  Compassion is the empathy for the suffering of others, the understanding of other viewpoints and situations, feeling for them and seeking to mend them.  These emotions exist more solidly, more states of being that flare-ups of passion.

"Fear and Hope just left and right of center, are different in that while those are emotions that may be felt, as the Emotional Spectrum understands them, they are emotions that can be caused in others.  The Fears that claw at us in the dark, the Hope that tomorrow will be better.  Those who wield the Lights of Fear and Hope are beacons of these emotions, fanning the flames of those emotions around them.  They know them, and how to wield them to best effect.

"Willpower stands at the center, and stands alone.  It is the ability to overcome fear, to turn hope into action.  It is the ability to fight to make compassion a reality and to resist greed's temptations.  It is the ability to temper the fires of rage and the passions of love with the need for clarity and reality.  Though my brothers are wrong in ignoring the other Lights, they were correct when we believed that the Light of Willpower has the potential to be the strongest of them all."

He looked them over.  "To know your Light is to know yourself.  Think, and search within you.  What about you drew your Light to you?"

"Guys?" She turns around a few times. She doesn't think this is funny. Now she is worried about everyone. Nothing she can do though but get to higher ground. Part of her thinks she should stick to not using her powers just in case they can track her.

Effigies were patrolling the skies, looking for the New Guardians. One tossed a ball of flame at the treetops.

Thanks to Cindy's guidance and her work in keeping the effigies away, the two of them eventually make their way towards Jess just as the trees catch fire.

"Jess?!" He calls out, not quite seeing her because of the chaos but he felt that green was really close by and he knew that meant they'd found her.

"Down here!" She waves and sends up a puff of green energy so he'll see her.

Still not direct sign of their targets. The Effigies lobbed a few more fireballs at the jungle.

Harry flies over to the puff of green energy and nearly jumps out of his skin when a fireball hits the tree right by him. "Doesn't-ah!- seem like anyone's around."

"No. I'm alone." She is starting to levitate so she can find Harry and Cindy.

"All right. Still, progress. We need to figure out how to deal with the Amber-Waves-of-Flame brigade before they start getting competent."

A couple of the Effigies went to ground, moving through the forest. They'd be on the team soon.

As Heather and Saishu few, she spotted something. Two somethings, actually. One, Saishu's thread to Cindy, and... another, fainter lover ribbon.

She pointed. "Cindy's down there. And I think I found Lenny. You go check it out there, and I'll see what I can."

Harry looks around and catches a glimpse of someone. "Is that...Saishu?"

Saishu nods, sweeping downward in the direction Heather pointed, still making herself perfectly obvious. After all, unlike some, she's not trying to hide from the effigies.

The Effigies opened fire on Saishu when they saw her coming.
