The Mind Bender
Jarr-on turned and ran out of the hut, heading for the forest. His mind was clouded with doubt but his feet carried him swiftly and soon he was amongst the soft ferns and cool shadowed shade of the forest.
Leaning against a tree, he closed his eyes and tried to clear his thoughts.
He wasn't sure how much time had passed but he suddenly sensed a shift in the forest energies and opened his eyes.
He was surrounded by Shinta warriors. Reaching for his sword, he remembered he had left it back at the hut.
He sent out a mind shield but he was blocked.
Before he could do anything, he felt the blade of a knife run across his neck and his life began to spill out of him.
His last thought was of Alexis. She would be so sad.
