The Guardian 3

The guardian's massive foot stomped the ground and the road's asphalt cracked like spiderwebs, leaving a crater on the road and a cloud of dust around it.

John strained his eyes and a blur enveloped him. He couldn't wait to try out his new maximum speed. Not only had he gained 10 points in Agility, but he could double it with his Quiet Steps and Haze Veil.

The guardian shouted and the sheer strength of its voice was enough to blow out the dust around it. Only after hearing the terrifying screech could John tell that there was another factor to it other than a strong, unfaltering, voice.

It could influence people. A dizziness and headache washed over him and his consciousness felt like it would slip away if he couldn't pull himself together.
