Dara says with a sniffle.  "Not even Raisa!" "And until you learn control, I keep power under control for you," Master Wen says.  "I not remove anything permanently," he adds.  "You still have to deal with link between you, but not until you learn to control mind better." "I can control it just fine!" she whines.  "Give my powers back!" You can only imagine it is like suddenly losing the ability to speak and hear. X12"I think they forgot we were still human.  And humans have free will," Xi says.  "You can program people like you can a computer.  Perhaps some things cannot be programmed. "I too think of the shadowed man as Father, despite myself.  I would rather not remember him at all," he adds.  "You can relax a moment," he adds.  "You are 8 months younger than I am," he says.  You find this hard to believe as he looks in his mid to late 20's.  "I am, by my guess, ten."</blockquote>
