The Mind Bender

Jarr-on had a tough choice ahead of him. Today he must decide whether to take the portal and continue his training or stay in the village.

The portal only opened twice every 50 years. Once to admit and once to bring back. Only two from the village were chosen. He should have felt honored. But he'd never asked for his powers.

He would have to make his decision before dusk.

His stomach rumbled, telling him he had other decisions to make before then like what to eat for breakfast.

Jarr-on rolled off his mat, pulled on his clothes and headed for the door.

Pausing, he looked at the short sword hanging on the wall wondering if he should take it or not. It had been a long time since their village had been attacked and the breakfast hut was just a few steps away.
