Chapter Two

Leia, leia. He shook me awake. I had dozed off on

the cold stone floor.Opening groggy eyes I muttered,

where am I? Then I finished waking up and it all came

back to me in a flash. I remembered being captured,

and seeing what he could do. I remebered showing him

what I could do as well.I stood up slowly getting my

bearings.

Aryon? I questioned.

Ya, he said.

Why? I said.

I dont know, he began slowly, I think...that it

might have something to do with evil, just pure evil

that wants all other people to live in constant pain.

And I think the only way we can stop him is to find

all the other mages with power like ours. Then maybe

we can be more powerful than him and protect this

world.

I thought for a minute, so, how?

Mind magic , he said calmly.

What!? I exclaimed.

Mind magic, usually I dont recommend it , and there

are certain morals you ll need to learn, but in this

case I think its necessary, he replied. We can search

for the other people with powers like ours, before he

finds them, get it?

Ya, i think,

OK, come over here then, he commanded. I walked

over and he showed me a globe of something, I had no

idea what. Mist swirled in the glass globe, twisting

and turning with grace, and a bit of sly evilness.

This is just for looks, he laughed at my expression.

Mind magic is simply being able to put yourself in

the mindset of a different person. Once you do that,

you can read their mind, also if you can become

completely one with that person you can influence

their thoughts. That is risky though and I dont

recommend it. People who have done that sometimes go

completely insane, driven crazy by the ideas that come

into their heads. Driven crazy by the idea that their

own thoughts could be manipulated.By the question,

does anybody like me for myself? Or did I just

manipulate their thoughts about me?It drives people

insane

Ya, I can imagine, I said thinking about what I

could, and probably would do with that kind of power.

Yea, he said quietly. Its happened to me before.

Only a few people were my friends, so I used mind

tricks to become the most popular person in school.

But then , I didnt know who liked me for who I really

was, and who just was following my mind instructions.
