<strong>ALTOR</strong>: <strong>The</strong> <strong>Shadow</strong> <strong>Rebellion</strong> (<strong>The</strong> <strong>Chronicles</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ageron</strong>)<br />

undergone several hours <strong>of</strong> intense training, or at the very least,<br />

that they have been exposed to the torment <strong>of</strong> an unending<br />

marathon.<br />

Pushing through the sharp pain haunting every muscle <strong>of</strong> my<br />

body, I trudge dawdlingly towards my bedroom door. As I<br />

approach it, the periphery <strong>of</strong> my vision reveals that I have<br />

neglected to open my bedroom curtains and window. I first<br />

consider leaving them untouched, but know all too well that is a<br />

thought my grandmother would strongly disapprove <strong>of</strong>.<br />

As I motion to alter my direction, a severing pain sprouts in<br />

my legs, which then progresses violently to reach every other<br />

muscle in my body. <strong>The</strong> thought <strong>of</strong> causing any further pain by<br />

walking to the window is one that holds little appeal. <strong>The</strong> thought<br />

alone <strong>of</strong> doing so causes more pain than it’s worth.<br />

Instead, I choose the path <strong>of</strong> laziness and decide to use my<br />

telekinesis to open them. I know I shouldn’t, but what good is<br />

having all <strong>of</strong> this power and never being given the opportunity to<br />

use them at all? In a slow and steady motion, I raise my right arm<br />

and stretch it out in front <strong>of</strong> me. I open my palm, and turn it<br />

vertically so it now lines parallel to the divide in the centre <strong>of</strong> the<br />

curtain’s two halves. Whilst standing several metres away from the<br />

curtains, I slowly slide my outstretched hand to the left, the very<br />

direction my palm is facing, and force the left half <strong>of</strong> the curtain to<br />

open steadily without ever touching it. As though an invisible<br />

force is causing it, the left curtain is drawn open entirely, allowing<br />

what light lies beyond the window to stream through it<br />

effortlessly.<br />

I repeat the very same for the opposite half <strong>of</strong> the curtain,<br />

and within seconds my entire bedroom is illuminated by the sun’s<br />

radiant light, changing in colour as it passes through the different<br />

colours <strong>of</strong> the ornately stained glass.<br />
