Jayden stared at the system screen for a moment, standing still in the devastating trench he had just carved through the forest floor. Then he stared at his trembling hands, a wild, euphoric grin spreading across his face. He didn't have some mystical comic-book energy field; this was raw, unadulterated biological evolution. He had achieved true super speed. And he could run as fast as the speed of sound. Real Sonic Speed.
A flash of blue light illuminated the trees, and Skye materialized beside him, her tail swishing with excitement.
Master was moving fast! Like Skye! she cheered, projecting a wave of immense pride into his mind.
Jayden chuckled, his chest heaving as the adrenaline settled. "Thanks, Skye. But I still need to get the hang of it. Do you mind if we stay in the forest a bit longer so I can practice?"
Okay! she chirped brightly. Skye would love to practice with Master!
