The vision extended the weapon toward me. My fingers twitched as fear clawed at my throat. Was this real? Was I losing my mind?
My hand hovered inches away from the weapon. Everything I knew about supernatural powers told me to be cautious, but something deeper – something that felt like destiny, urged me forward.
I reached out.
When my fingers touched the blade, a brilliant blue light erupted, consuming my vision. It lifted me off the ground, suspending me in mid-air. I wanted to cry out but suddenly, power rushed through every part of my body, unlike anything I had ever known or seen sending life to every nerve in my body.
My senses sharpened beyond anything I had experienced before – I could hear everything. The trees whispering, the vines breathing. Even the earth beneath me sang with an ancient rhythm.
The forest was alive – truly, deeply alive – and for one breathtaking moment, I was one with it all.
