The room seemed to fade, suddenly, Maxis was back in the cathedral.  He was sparring with another
 trainee, one 10 years older then himself.  The man kicked out at Maxis, but Maxis just turned,
 grabbed the leg, and flipped the man on his back.  Before the man had hit the mat, Maxis had spung

 reached down to help the man up, then, behind him, he heard slow clapping. 
Well done Maxis... well done... You will be a powerful Acolyte one day... come... I want to show

Maxis followed his master into the back training room, watching him.  Maxis' eyes followed the man
 as he stepped into the center of the room.  "To become a Master Acolyte, is to ascend.  You must
 free your mind in order to do this... it does not matter how strong or fast you are... you must

 slightly, followed by a huge wave of energy.  The next few minutes Maxis saw speed and power he'd
