Chapter three ---
Todays training is to controll your fears. Sound easy right? Think again. I am standing in the middle of the dense forest. With my father of course. But soon I will enter my mind and face my fears. Alone. I am bracing myself. Now is the time. Here we go. My vision is blurred and I land with a thump in the same forest. Maybe it didn't work. I look around for clues when my eyes settle on five men staring straight at me.
Them. They are the people who choose. Everybody fears them, but not quite like me.
They took my brother away when I was three. It was his choosing day. He went to the arena, sat down for his test but didn't make it through to the end. All I remember is seeing his eyes. The colour was gone but they looked ahead longingly, couragously, terrified.
I have feared them ever since. And now I am standing face to face with them in my own mind. What harm can they do? Oh, right.
