After a few days of practice, I had finally mastered the art of mind control. When I broke the news to my grandfather, he was not overly surprised. He had always known that I would succeed. But I could see the pride in his eyes.
When I told him that I was ready to learn my next power, I thought he was going to train me in mind control. But instead, he told me that it was a power that came with time and experience. So he took me to a different part of the forest to practice another power: earth control.
In general, my grandfather didn't want me to use my powers in the village. And I agreed with him. Using my powers without fully understanding them could lead to instability and even destruction. So my grandfather took me to different parts of the forest to train. Another reason for this was that it would be easier for me to learn the powers if I was in an environment that was conducive to their use.
