Another loud explosion sounded further down from me and I watched as this strong laser-type cannon take out a side of a mountain. My jaw dropped at seeing the power of this cannon. It was now or never because our own people and friends are no match for the laser cannons. I closed my eyes and summoned Rayna.After Nerin explained to me what danger is now about to happen. I open my eyes and looked around and gasped. Tears began to form in my eyes. My beautiful home. It was then several loud explosions sounded around me. These must be the laser cannons. One by one severe damage was being caused by them along with many lives being taken. My heart began to break and the thought.Just then another explosion went off and I noticed Galen fighting near Xipher on his tayren and the laser from the cannon came so close to Galen he fell off his tayren and I screamed his name.Now I was beginning to feel angry. I was about to go further in my light form when the prophet appeared in front of me.“Li
Nerin and I looked at each other and we both shared the same expression. “We need to get to the men. But to our bodies first.”I nodded and teleported us back to our bodies. We both opened our eyes and looked at each other. “I don’t feel weak like the last time,” I spoke as we both stood up.“That is because you were drawing power over and beyond your own. You tapped into mine. Alone you were so strong your body couldn’t take it now that it is your power alone without mine, you were able to handle it now. That is why I had to be resurrected so we could each combine our power to win this. All this was our destiny. Prophesy fulfilled. Now let’s get to our men.”I smiled and nodded and took her hands. We got to the medic outpost set up for the injured and found Galen and Xipher on cots next to each other. Bryden was there with his arm in a sling and a few bruises on his face including one black eye. He stood up from the chair he was sitting on when we entered.He looked at Nerin, “Nerin?

It is usually chilly with everyone wearing heavy jackets as the weather begins to change towards winter. Today I was dressed in a thin baby blue pullover sweater with my sleeves pushed halfway up and jeans. As my best friend Sara and I sat outside the library Sara, nudged me and nodded in the direction of the parking lot.I noticed the mysterious family that always came in
As Mandy and I were heading to the fairgrounds, I was really quiet. I guess Amanda felt my mood and had not spoken to me or asked me what was wrong like she normally would have. I wouldn’t tell her anyway, I am not to tell anyone, and I intend to honor my word. And for now, I just have so much to think about now.A princess, wow, and to find out my father who I already believed was dead is… Dead now.I wish that I knew of him sooner and had gotten to know him. But I can’t blame my mother as she said it was to keep us safe from an evil ruler.Other worlds? A Gateway portal to other worlds?Suddenly I didn’t feel like riding anymore. “Hey Mandy, I am sorry I have a lot going on right now. I feel I need to be home. You go ahead and take Star and meet the others. Tell them I received some bad news and I will talk to you all Monday at school. Be sure to put Star away when through riding.”“Are you sure?” Amanda asked as I was turning Eazy around.“Yeah, I am sure. See you all Monday.” I sa
I woke the next day and felt very confused. It wasn’t until I sat up that I realized where I was.Last night was upsetting for me. Kieran had shown me to the room that I was to have while here. I then took a leisurely shower and dressed in fresh night clothes left out for me on the bed. Ten minutes later, Mrs. Weston knocked on the door with a hot drink in hand. It was a thoughtful gesture, and I didn’t want to be rude, so I took the mug and thanked her.“Had you figured out a plan to get my mom back?” I took a sip of the hot liquid and realized it was something I never had before.It was quite delicious. I drank it all down as I waited for an answer.“I am sorry, I’m not at liberty to say anything. I can tell you this. We will bring your mother back safe.” She patted my hand. “For now, you need to get some rest. After all, you been through you need it.”She smiled a sweet smile when I began feeling quite strange and a little sleepy. What was this drink?“What…” I tried to speak.“Shu
After school Galen was there to pick us up. Kieran ran to the car and with much excitement began to tell Galen about the incident as she climbed into the car.“Galen, it was as if she were standing there invisible. I was able to see through her.” She looked over at me from the back seat as I got into the front seat next to Galen. “She says she saw and heard her mom.”Galen looked over at me, “You saw your mom?”“It was as if I was there with her. I never had anything happen like that before.” I glanced his way then looked down at my hands on my lap.“Galen, I think Rayna has begun to develop her gift.” Kieran sounded so excited over that fact.“So, what is this gift thing you keep speaking of?” I asked.“Well, my gift is speed and strength. I just am not allowed to use it in this world.” Kieran answered.“Speed and strength?”“Yeah, I can run-up to ten times faster than any human, and stronger too.”“Oh, I see.” I turned to ask Galen, “And what about you Galen, what is your gift?”He
The morning sun came streaming in through the skylight in my room. I tried to open my eyes and then closed them again against the brightness of the morning. I turned onto my side then I remembered, today is the first day of training. The week went by fast and with no more incidents. It was now Saturday. My eyes flew open, and I jumped out of bed.After breakfast and an hour later, I was standing in the middle of the large living room facing Bryden.“Okay now, close your eyes and take a deep breath. Now relax that’s good.” He began, “Focus on your bedroom here. See it in your mind.”I began to concentrate on the room listening to his voice when I no longer heard him I opened my eyes. I was in my old room, and I looked around and saw it was completely ransacked. I couldn’t believe it. My room, what were they looking for? I closed my eyes and began to think of my mom.“Rayna?” I heard my mother’s voice as clear as day. I opened my eyes and saw her. She was sitting on a hard stone like a
The next morning after a restless night I took a lingering shower. I just couldn’t get that kiss out of my mind. I dried off and dressed then left the bathroom. Tomorrow was another school day, and I still have homework to do. So, I sat at the table in my room with my books and began to study. I must have been in there for hours when a knock sounded at the door. “Come in,” I said as the door was already opening.Kieran peeked around the corner. “Are you going to stay in here all day and not eat?”“What time is it?” I asked closing the books that I barely read.“Past one in the afternoon. We all were beginning to wonder where you were.”“All of you?”“Well, all except Galen, he took off before sunrise and had not returned.”“I’m sorry I concerned you all. I was doing my studies.” I stood up and followed Kieran out the door.“Mom has an excellent lunch warming for you.” I smiled at her and walked into the kitchen.“Afternoon, Rayana. You missed breakfast, so I made something special for
