I cleared my mind for the powers to work through me.

I felt the force of life flowing through me. I struggled to bear it.
And as I struggled, the sky darkened and the first lightning bolt blazed across the sky. It struck behind me with a deafening crack,

I staggered, and a second bolt just missed me.

But I held up my hands and I let the power flow beyond me
and above the clouds which crossed the sky I saw a face forming.

It was my own face, smiling.
