What did any of them know about this power they shared? Next to nothing Dane guessed. He knew he could manipulate it. He could set little traps of power knotted up that when sprung would collapse in glorious explosions.
He didn't tell Nox of course. "I know enough to make it useful." He watched flatly while Nox hurled fire and wrenched sand. It was showy and the challenge was on for Dane.
He gathered his bearings. He wanted to do something to prove himself yet not give away his best tricks. He stepped into the shade of the tree line stretching branches over the sand and stared at the water, contemplating doing something about the waves. When a weight landed on his shoulder in a great thud.
He leeched to one side with a great yelp, swatting at his arm and hot footing away. The weight fell to the sand and the black line of something with a tail skittered off. The power pent up in him escaped like a broken dam, spewing upward - around - down at the sand - aimed toward the bushes and the hint of where whatever leathery creature that had been.
It all erupted in flames as Dane ran away toward the safety of clear sand and wet surf.
