dragon of the water: A neat idea. I will think about it.
soilderx: I'm sorry. Right after you tell me that I make a short chapter. Lol, hopefully the next one will be longer.
Power of Mind
Gleed tried to calm himself down. He looked at Jason again, but instead of looking at his hair or his eyes, Gleed looked at his face. For the first time he realized it was almost like looking in a mirror.
"I need to be alone for a while… to think. A lot has happened." Gleed didn't look Jason in the eye, but kept his gaze on the ground.
Jason nodded and mounted Egore. "Well if you need anything or just want to talk, I'll be back at the cabin." With that he took off, leaving Gleed alone with Safire.
This was so much change for Gleed and so soon. His head spun as he thought about Jason. Gleed did not remember having a third brother. The harder he thought back, the less information he got. How could he have been in my past, but I don't remember him at all? Then it hit him. Of course! When he became a rider my memory must have been modified just like Jay said happens to your family.
Gleed! Said a voice.
Gleed looked wildly around and stood up rapidly looking for the source of the voice.
Gleed! It said again.
He saw nothing moving, just Safire. She was staring at him. Wait! Staring at him?
"Was that…. you?" Gleed asked the peddit, feeling foolish to be talking to an animal.
Well done donut brain. Of course that was I.
Gleed's cheeks flushed pink with embarrassment. "I'm sorry….I just thought that well….you being an animal—"
Safire cut him off. Gleed felt her anger. Animal? Is that what I am? A mere animal? She trotted over and lowered her head so their eyes were level. You have much to learn young one. But keep this in mind. Never underestimate anyone. If you do, you won't last long.
Gleed blinked, "How do you do that? You talking to me but you're not even opening your mouth. It's almost like you're in my head…"
Safire nickered. It seemed almost as if she was laughing at him. The power of your mind is greater than you think.
Gleed gulped. He looked away from her piercing blue eyes with shame. He waited for Safire to speak. When she said no more, he walked away from her to a tree and sat down. The bark was rough behind his thin t-shirt. He looked back at the peddit, standing where he had left her. "Safire, why did you choose me to be your rider? Out of all the other people, the great swordsmen, mages, elves, but, why me?"
She was quiet. When Gleed was about to repeat his question thinking she had not heard him, she said, Gleed. There is something special about you. You spirit is strong. I believe you show great promise. And besides most swordsmen and mages are self obsessed, and that would make a terrible rider. And there seems to be fewer elves every day. No one knows why they keep disappearing. Many have searched for them, but elves hide themselves jealously so all have failed.
Gleed nodded. Satisfied with that answer.
Ok guys. Sorry for another short chapter. I'll try to make the next one longer. Thanks for reading this far.Please review!
