Chapter 89: Training
Sir Orion leaned back on the desk, his posture relaxed, his dark eyes glinting with a playful intensity. "I find it most fascinating," he said, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper, the words brimming with enthusiasm.
The blue light cast soft shadows across his face, giving him an almost magical air, and Alex felt a shiver of excitement,
His powers, his potential, they were out in the open now, at least in this room, and Sir Orion’s fascination felt like a door swinging wide, inviting him to step through.
Alex let out a quiet sigh of relief, his shoulders loosening as he processed Sir Orion’s words.
The guy knew about his powers—all of them, and didn’t seem thrown off. It was... a lot to take in, but it meant he didn’t have to hide, at least not here.
The cozy room, with its single blue light casting a soft, cerulean glow, felt oddly calming despite its quirks, the faint scent of cedar and honey settling in the air like a subtle invitation to stay.
His red eyes flicked to Sir Orion, who was watching him with a warm, steady gaze, and Alex felt a cautious curiosity settle in his chest, like he was stepping into something new but wasn’t quite sure what to make of it.
Sir Orion’s lips curved into a small smile, his dark eyes catching the blue light. "Yes, we’ll have lessons for each of your abilities," he said, his voice smooth and reassuring, with a hint of playfulness that made the words feel less like a lecture and more like a promise.
"We’ve got work to do, but we’ll get there."
