Suddenly Bridget changes to her Mind Elemental, and she is all purple. There are gasps of amazement from around us. Then a green glow goes from Bridget’s hands to Jila’s leg. Inside of me I can feel the pull of energy that is leaving the Chakra in my head. It’s a slow pull, not a torrent. As I watch, I can physically see Jila’s leg straighten with the healing that Bridget-well I,-am doing, through her.
You are healing your target. Time to fully heal, 00:00:14:59.
Jila’s total attention is focused on her leg as it’s healing. No one moves, and we stay like that quietly until finally, Bridget sits back down on her ass on the ground.
You have healed Jila

“Oomph,” Bridget says after her ass hits the ground. “There, good as new!” she exclaims and changes back to her Elf form.
“How is that possible?” Nolea says in shock, looking between Bridget and me.
“Oh, that’s easy, it’s because—”
“Bridget!” both Leeha and I scream at her.
“Oh right,” she says with a giggle, blushing. “I’m not supposed to mention that.”
Nolea looks at me suspiciously again, but at least this time there isn’t anger there. More curiosity than anything else now. Then, unexpectedly everything in my sight goes black, and all I hear is my name being screamed, “Alex!”
Chapter Thirty-Eight
The first thing that I notice when I come to is a message. I can’t even tell if it’s visual or in my head. It’s so fucking weird.
You have broken through your second of seven Chakras.
You have received 1 Heavenly Token.
Heavenly Tokens: 12 of 200.
The second thing I notice is the pain in my eyes. My eyes are closed, yet I can still see tons of light somehow.
“Alex?” Leeha says with worry in her voice. I feel a hand on my chest. “I can tell you’re awake. Your breathing changed.”
“So you can tell when I’m asleep?” I ask her with a smile, still not opening my eyes.
I can hear the smile in her voice when she says, “Yes, I watch you as you sleep, wondering why you love me so much.”
I open my eyes and stare at her, but then I have to close them quickly. “What the fuck!” I blurt out.
“Alex!” Leeha cries, and I feel someone’s arms on my chest. “What’s wrong. Look at me!”
“I can’t. That’s the issue,” I tell Leeha. “When I look at you, I just see a burst of color.”
“What?” she asks me, confused.
“Bridget!” I shout.
“What!” she shouts back from right next to me, making me jerk in surprise. She must be sitting next to my head. “Sorry, you yelled at me, so I thought we were playing a game,” she giggles.
“What’s going on with my eyes?” I ask her apprehensively.
“Oh, I guess me healing that little girl Jila opened another one of your Chakras.”
“What?” I blurt out, moving my head towards her voice and opening my eyes, which is a big mistake as the burst of color coming from her is worse than the one I saw when I looked at Leeha. “Shit!” I cry, closing my eyes again quickly as tears run down my face.
“What do you mean I opened another Chakra? How did I do that so quickly?” I ask Bridget, concerned. Fuck me. I can’t be opening them that fast! They fucking hurt. I mean, I can’t even see now! I’m blind. “And what is all that light then?”
“Well,” Bridget says, and I feel a hand on my forehead, “your second Chakra, as you call it, that you opened, is right here.”
Wait. What Chakra was that? There was the top of the head, which I think was called the Crown. And there’s a throat one. Was there one between that? Hmm. Yes! That’s right. It was called the Third Eye one. Could that be what is happening? Somehow a ‘magical’ eye is opening? Without opening my eyes, I address the two girls.
“Are we alone?” I ask them.
“Yes. Nolea and the others have already left for my home,” Leeha says. “You have been out for about four hours. It’s almost dark.”
“Fuck, really? Wow. All I remember is not being able to see and then hitting something,” I tell her.
“Yes, that was you hitting the ground. You hit it pretty hard. You broke your nose,” Leeha says with a laugh.
“What!” I shout, my hand going to my nose. Shit, will I look all right with a crooked, broken nose? I move my nose back and forth, but it feels fine, and I hear the two girls laugh.
“Bridget healed it,” Leeha says. “So don’t worry, you still look handsome.”
“I was never handsome to start off with,” I tell them with a grin.
I feel a kiss on my lips, and then another kiss from another set of lips. “We find you attractive enough,” Leeha says with a laugh.
“That’s right! I am sure even if I wasn’t your Elemental I would find you attractive, for a human,” Bridget says, but I can hear the grin in her voice.
“Gee, thanks,” I tell them both with a scowl, but inside I can’t help but feel loved. “But back to my eyes. So, this Chakra I opened. In my world, it’s called the Third Eye. Any clue what it does, Bridget?”
“Hmm, not really. You say that when you look at someone, like Leeha or me, you see bright lights?”
“Yes. Pretty intense ones,” I confirm for her. When I look at them the lights seem to coming from inside their entire body. But it’s so intense that looking at them caused me to have the mother of all headaches. It was worse with Bridget, but it went away when I closed my eyes.
“What color?” Leeha asks.
“What?” I ask her with a frown.
“What color were the lights when you looked at me?” Leeha prods.
“Eeer,” I say. What color was Leeha? It was so intense I don’t remember the light’s color. No, wait. There was a color, and it was an intense blue.
“Blue,” I tell her after a
