ALTOR: The Shadow Rebellion (The Chronicles of Ageron) the forest that lines the rear of the field we now stand, is an enormous, almost transparently glowing light that forms the barrier protecting our world, wavering gracefully as though being prompted by a gentle breeze. From within Ageron, the faint contents of the world beyond it can be seen through the barrier, almost like looking through a wall of glowing, golden mist. It is particularly funny when watching humans walk straight into the barrier, unaware of its being there. They disappear the moment they make contact with it, and reappear instantly on the opposite side, continuing as though nothing ever happened. ‘So, are we going to do this, or are you just going to stand there like an absolute idiot?’ I hear Zaniel taunt, distracting me from my admiring trance of Ageron’s barrier. Although he’s a year older than I, I am far more powerful than he, solely due to my being an Altor. That being said, he is a very worthy opponent, even if I’m not able to use my power to its full potential when training with him. He knows it, too. He’s always hurling insults at me in hope that I might actually become more of a challenge for him, but I know very well that if that were to ever happen, it could lead to devastating results. On very few occasions, as much as I do regret them, I have lost my sense of better judgment and left Zaniel more bruised and battered than I would have liked. On one occasion his relentless insults became so much of a distraction that I raised him a few metres from the ground using my telekinetic ability, and hurled him towards the nearest tree. It left him with three cracked ribs, a broken arm and a gash so deep even the most skilled of Sorcerers with healing abilities was unable to heal it entirely. Although he was quick to ever forget it had ever happened – in fact, he was so amazed by how much damage I’d done to him he felt almost ! 31"
ALTOR: The Shadow Rebellion (The Chronicles of Ageron) proud of me for having done it – it took some time for me to forgive myself. His taunts have since been to no effect. As is normal for any day of training, Zaniel makes the very first move. He extends his arm and raises a nearby rock as though being suspended by an invisible force. ‘Watch yourself,’ he says with a grin. Within seconds, the generously sized rock is hurling directly towards me. With a single fluid movement, I raise both my hands, even though I could just as easily do it with one, and flick my wrists in the direction of the advancing rock. Mid-flight, the rock is redirected, sent soaring uninterruptedly towards a large boulder to my right, where it collides and crumbles to create several smaller rocks. ‘Come on,’ I say as I stare at the rocks that now lay crushed beside the boulder. ‘You’ll have to do better than that!’ I turn back to face Zaniel, only then realising that he is speeding towards me at such speed, it appears the world is moving around him. Before he comes within reach of me I jump in the air, throwing all of my weight forward and flipping midair, plummeting gently towards the ground once I’d known Zaniel had passed by below. All Sorcerers possess great athletic and inter-combat abilities. Zaniel and I have developed ours to be able to jump several metres in the air. Paranormal athletic ability is something almost all Ageronians possess. It’s the only ability that is shared amongst all of us, regardless of what species we belong to. Zaniel’s combat skills are highly developed. Even more so than mine. But knowing so is one of his greatest weaknesses; one of which I constantly use to my advantage. ‘You have to be kidding me,’ I laugh. I notice myself sounding as smug as Zaniel normally sounds, ! 32"
