Chapter 12

As Bren pulled in magical energy, he was careful to numb himself as much as possible without turning into a turnip. After having felt human again, it was painful to turn everything off again, but he knew it was needed until he could learn to control himself, and like anything else, that would take time to master. Until that time, he would have to take it slow and distance himself when he used large amounts of magical energy.

Bren wasn’t sure what to do, but he had an idea—or the start of one anyway. He figured that wind magic would be the best for bringing them long distances quickly, but the speed of the wind would crush his friends. Bren created a shield of energy around his friends, and he began to lift them slightly from the ground. Once they were mere inches off the ground, Bren pushed them forward, and the world around them began to spin.

No sooner had they started to move than the horses began to go wild. “No wonder the Brotherhood didn’t have any mounted units with them. At first, Bren thought that the horses would calm after a moment, but when that didn’t happen he was forced to bring them to a stop.

“I think I am going to be sick,” Faye said holding her hand to her mouth and gagging slightly.

“I have to agree. It wasn’t a very good feeling,” Cass seconded. “Why did we stop though?”

“The horses were moving too much, making it hard to hold the spell,” Bren replied.

“I guess they didn’t understand the ground moving when they weren’t. Not to mention, it felt weird, not something that I can explain, but like someone was pushing on my body and not gently either, though it started to calm the longer we traveled.”

Bren tried to think of anything that might help solve the problem, but he came up empty handed. “I can’t think of a way to get around it,” Bren said after a few moments of deep thought. “I think I can lessen the force by mixing in a little light energy into the shield, but unless I completely black out the shield there is nothing I can do about the sight, and that would make it really hard for me to see where I was going.

“Is that all,” Cass said laughing. “You take care of the pressure that was hitting us, and I can take care of the horses.”

Bren started to ask how Cass expected to do that, but he got his answer quickly. Cass pulled one of his darker tunics out of his bag along with some of the leather strips that he always carried with him. Pulling out his dagger Cass cut his tunic and made makeshift blindfolds out of them. Once the blindfolds were finished Cass tied them to each of the horses. For the first few moments the horses bucked their heads, but after just a few seconds, they calmed down.

Once the horses had calmed down, Bren started pulling in magical energy again.
