Description Man this took forever to post. X_X Joy to deviantART and the loading issues and Read Only mode for maintenance that doesn't solve anything

Anyway, alternate title to this. "Turn a Blind Eye" You'll see why. Keep reading.

This is the son of Othadious and Autumn, a little older than you've seen him.

He's around the age of seventeen here.

He hasn't changed that much, growing up like everyone does. However there is one major difference that you may or may not have noticed just yet.

As he grows up, he begs his two grandfathers, UnLight and UnDark, his father, and even his uncles, Akaious and Shadow, to help train him, so he can learn more about using his special powers. Though Autumn is somewhat wary of it at first, she supports him, and so as he grows up he starts to get stronger and stronger, much to his pleasure. He loves spending all that time with his father, grandfather, and uncles, and his cousin Naoko.

Plus he likes being powerful, knowing how to fight. He hopes it'll help impress a girl he likes

However, one day, when he is 13 or so, something goes horribly wrong.

While practicing, somehow an attack hits Matikai in his right eye, the one, for obvious reasons, that he calls his Spade Eye.

Later, it's determined that he's now permanently blind in that eye. It's covered in a white glaze now. Matikai says it's not totally black, but instead makes his vision blurry and out of focus so badly that he can't see with it. If he tries to keep it open it just makes his eyes water.

Autumn is devastated; she accuses UnLight and UnDark of pushing him too hard. Matikai tries to console her, and insists he wants to keep practicing with his powers. she is unsure at first, but somehow he is able to ease her fears, and she lets him go back to training.

UnDark and UnLight are both hurt by what happens, because even if it was an accident they feel responsible for their grandson going blind in one eye. Working with him, they discover that if he enters one of two elevated states of power, he can get vision back to that eye. However, the forms never last long, and so he'll be blind in that eye most likely for the rest of his life.

As he grows up, Matikai never sees it as a bad thing. He works with it, and gets to the point where he can keep his Spade Eye open without both of them watering, and without being distracted by the blurry, out of focus eye. It helps raise his other senses, especially his hearing, and so he turns it into a positive, instead of a negative.

So yes, he is blind in his right eye. He's pretty resilient though; rarely will you hear him complain about it. If he meets someone new, he won't even mention it to them, and if asked why his eye is milky white, he grins and largely shrugs it off. He'll never look for sympathy; he likes to say, "I could be blind in both eyes, or even deaf, or worse. I won't complain just because I've got a blurry eye. It's like falling off your bike. You just, get back up and ride!"

Matikai isn't someone I'd like to mess with. The extent of his powers remains to be seen, but he is the grandson of UnLight and UnDark. He can teleport, warp, levitate, and control all four elements to a certain degree; he's better with some above others. He's also learned telepathy, and has foresight. He doesn't always like relying on powers though, and has learned martial arts and boxing techniques. As he gets older he wants to learn more about the powers that come from Ophelia's side of the family.

As you can tell he's quite curious about his history and his heritage and he's quite proud of it =3

He's got two little sisters to look after, and, as I said, a girl he likes. He might be too shy to say anything at first. He's sorta close to her father but is intimidated all the same. Whether he admits anything to her or not remains to be seen

Anyway, enjoy my sweet Matikai

Matikai Spades belongs to me and Gem.

And Gem is the awesome
