Brady helped them rush out a way from the city with his newly found speed before setting Karis down. They walked out a little more together without speaking. The white sand squished under their weight with each step they took.

Karis stopped first and shielded her eyes as she looked around. “We should be far enough out to try.”

Brady raised his brow. “I don’t know. I can still see the tiny rooftops of the houses.”

She pushed his shoulder. “Hey, I just want to be safe.”

He held his arms up. “Okay, okay.”

“I need you to be good and concentrate. I’m out of practice and it could be bad.”

“Well then I guess we’d better run through it a couple times. I don’t want to get sucked up and float around between worlds with no way out.” He sounded serious, but she could hear the smile behind his words.

She held her hands out from her sides. Her fingers danced in wave-like motions, keeping the rhythm of the power surge she felt. Tingles traveled through her fingers and up her arms. Soon, her body sang with an intense energy. Wisps of silver vapors wafted around her and began to spin around her still form.

Brady stood off to the side. His eyes widened as the funnel of silver grew and enveloped Karis into its core. He held his hand up to shield his face from the sand and wind as the funnel picked up speed.

The funnel shot about a hundred feet straight into the air from the sand. He jumped back. “Karis!”

“Brady,” Karis cried out from the eye of the portal.

He looked around for a way to get through the silver spinning chaos. No openings or breaks. He tensed up and braced himself as he ran straight into it, but wasn’t quick enough to reach her. The wind picked him up and carried him up away from the ground.

The funnel lifted him about twenty feet before it died down. He landed hard on the sand, completely knocking the wind from his chest. He gasped and fought to regain the use of his lungs.

Karis ran to where the portal dropped him. “Brady, are you okay?” She knelt down beside him.

He wheezed as he continued to catch his breath. “That…was…harsh.”

“I’m sorry.”

He slowly stood up, but leaned over, his hands braced against his knees. “I thought I could reach you.”

“You didn’t use your powers?”

He rubbed the back of his neck. “Yeah, I kinda forgot in the heat of the moment.”

“Well, you’re not exactly used to them. After living that many years without knowledge of them, it’s probably easier for your mind to block them out.”

He stood up straight and stretched. “That was killer.” He winked at her. “Next time, I’m either standing in the middle with you, or you’re on your own.”

“I’m so excited that I remembered how to do it. I had forgotten all about that part of my training with my dad. I don’t know why. I just know that it felt good.”

“So how am I supposed to help? I can run fast, not create portals.
