A Taste of What Was To Come

Jeffery began walking over to the old man to talk to him and ask him where they were. When he was just a few feet away, the old man spoke without turning around to face him:
“I see you woke up. Found your way here too, I see. You may feel a bit different. That’s just your powers developing. You’re probably wondering where we are; I can’t tell you that right now. All I can tell you is that this is where my teacher brought me for my training, and that we will be staying here for awhile. We’ll begin your training tomorrow.â€?

Those few sentences answered every question Jeffery had. He didn’t know what to say next. Suddenly, he felt a rush of energy. His vision blurred, then his hearing seemed to magnify, and he could hear everything.
Every drop of water in movement, every blade of grass being pushed by the returning breeze which seemed to be growing in strength. His arms flew out in front of him, and his vision returned to normal before sharpening greatly.
