The Mind Bender
Jarr-on closed the gap between him and Alexis and wrapped her in a hug. Her hair was long and beautiful and always smelled like flowers. He wanted to capture that smell forever. He had the feeling he would never see her again.
She pulled away and wiped her eyes. "You'll be a good Mind Bender."
He felt a strong arm on his shoulder and turned to see Jonathion. They had grown up together as well and both had been chosen as the villages Portal Jumpers.
Neither knew what to expect when they went through. They only knew when they reappeared, they would be fully trained. They would be Mind Benders who could bend the thoughts of others, speak to animals, and even bend the elements. The greatest Mind Benders had even been able to bend time itself. Jarr-on and Jonathion had showed the most promise but they were unable to fully control their powers.
Whatever happened in the portal would change that. When they returned, they would be different. Some never returned.
"Come with me brother, the elders would like to speak with us," said Jonathion.
Jarr-on turned to Alexis, wondering if he should leave her yet.
