Cole vs Ramarro

  Cole stopped directly in front of Ramarro, looking up. The torivor was tall and terrifying.

  Ramarro held out a hand. “Ready?”

  The nails looked sharp, so Cole grabbed his pale wrist.

  The jarring influx of power jolted Cole free from all physical sensation. Power was everywhere. It did not present as something separate. It was not contained. Cole struggled to retain his sense of self. The power blazed above him, below him, around him, within him. It was like he no longer existed. Only the power remained.

  Choosing his focus at random, Cole reached out blindly to touch the power, to connect, and raw shaping power sizzled through him. He crashed to the ground, dazed and suddenly detached from the flood of power that had engulfed him. He could not move.

  “On your feet,” Ramarro ordered. “That was but a glimpse.”
