I froze in place, as I felt time slowing down around me. I felt light and strong. Oliver's arm was slowly drifting to his side.

I stayed frozen in place as Oliver began to take his fighting stance. In a flash, I shot forward swinging my right fist at his face as fast and as hard as I possibly could. My fist slammed into something and stopped. Time flowed normally, there was another loud boom, and it took me a moment to realize what had happened. My eyes finally registered my fist nestled snugly in Oliver's palm.

Welp, the voice sighed. We’re dead.

"Amazing." Oliver said. "I couldn't move anywhere near that speed when I was your age."

I jumped back as he swept his knife at me.

"Since we know I could just speed up and end this now, how about we keep this fight in real time?" Oliver suggested and then waved his arm at the audience. "That way they can see it more easily."

"Fine by me," I called; then, in my head: "Anything else you can tap into in there?"

I'll look. Just try to keep fighting.

I ducked as he swept his knife at me but I caught a hard knee to my jaw. I flew back and hit the ground before I rolled over backwards and got to my feet. He was on me. I deflected his knife past my torso and slipped behind him.

Oliver's foot twisted on the ground and a small square of the stone floor rose a few inches right in front of my foot. I tripped and threw my arms out with my forearms parallel to the ground, breaking my fall without risking damage to my wrists.

I felt an impact in my side and my body rose from the ground flying through the air to come crashing back down ten yards away. I scrambled trying to get to my feet. A glance at Oliver told me he was still in the same place pointing his knife at me.

I saw the bolt flash from the knife. It was like during the demon attack; everything slowed down, including me. Instinctively, I raised my hand to defend myself and watched as the jagged white light struck it.

Have you ever touched an electric fence? (Hopefully, if the answer is ‘yes’ it was an accident.) Take that, and multiply it by eighty. Now, imagine that you can actually feel it rushing towards your heart.

Give me control now! The voice yelled.

"Do it!" I ordered and flew back into darkness.
