“Relax woman. You can do it and you won’t hurt me. I’m too fast and too smart” He smiles and begins to cut through the glass again. I raise my hands high and think of the sensation I have everytime I sing, but I focus the feel on my fingers and direct it towards the glass he is slashing. An imperceptible compression of energy hits the glass being cut and I follow his lead as we cut through the glass bars much faster. It’s working!!! I scream in my brain and he gives me a short ‘I told you so smile’. The air around us feels charged but we continue cutting at the top until we make a dent big enough for me to pass through. We move to the bottom and go faster this time. Soon, the glass bars plop down audibly and there is a whole in my cage. I lower my hands and the sword disappears from his.
