Things were going well, and the kids were doing just as well with and without their powers. Etienne was no longer the little boy that the big bullies bullied in school. No one dared pull his pants down. He now had all the strength he needed to propel three fellows through a window. He was feared. Everything was going well until a series of events broke the mood of the boys, putting them back on a war footing.As Antepouste had rightly said, his opponents, up to now, had only been easy prey, nothing compared to those he was going to have to face. Would he be up to the task? He hoped so with all his heart.
