I have been learning to use my powers defensively. It is pretty boring, but it will help me in the long run. Navino has been trying to be patient but he isn't very good at it. I don't ever leave that room much. A storm is coming today. I need to be careful.
"Evan. Make a shield with bolts." Navino instructs me. I focus on one spot and push my arms out in front of me. A circle of lightning appears in front of me. Navino shoots bolts of white energy at it. The shield is beginning to break.
"Concentrate Evan!" Navino yells. The shield breaks. I am breathing heavily.
"Try again."
We have been training for an hour.. It is starting to take a toll on my body. I feel like I am going to collapse.
I feel the energy pulse through my body. I bring up a shield again. It is not as big this time. He breaks through it almost instantly.
"Evan. What is on your mind. You are usually better than this." Navino asks me.
"I'm tired Navino. I can't do this anymore today. I am stressed out, paranoid, and bored." I reply too him.
Navino's phone starts ringing. He suddenly gets a very worried look on his face. "Okay. Thank you." He hangs up.
"They're coming"
