Chapter 320: Fire and Water
The morning sun cast a gentle glow upon the snow-covered landscape outside the towering walls of the Cursed Castle. Annalise stood in the courtyard, her breath forming a misty cloud in the frigid air. Winter had settled in, but there was no respite for her. The rigorous training sessions continued without pause, pushing her to her limits.
It had snowed the whole day and night yesterday, so everything was covered in a thick layer of snow. Unfortunately, the castle was in no mood to present them all with another sunny day.
It was Ezra and Leela who had decided to train with her and since these two carried completely opposite elemental powers - fire and water respectively, the session was definitely going to be a challenge for Annalise.
Ezra, with his fiery eyes shining brightly in anticipation, and Leela, whose calm demeanor belied her control over water, stood beside Annalise. They were her companions, her allies, and her challenges.
As the trio prepared for the day’s training, Ezra’s voice crackled like flames. "Ready to test your mettle, Annalise?"
Annalise wanted to let out a deep sigh but she held herself back. She knew from the beginning that this particular training session was nothing but trouble for her. Unfortunately, Damien didn’t gave her much of a choice other than accepting it.
Leela’s eyes twinkled as she added, "Remember, this is all to make you stronger."
Obviously, but Annalise wondered if the two of them would show her any sort of mercy like her husbands. The answer was likely a big no! It wasn’t like she didn’t trust her abilities but compared to Ezra and Leela who had spent their entire lives training hard to control their respective elements, she had only recently started to connect with her elements let alone learn how to control them.
Eventually, she nodded her head, determination in her eyes as she replied, "I’m ready."
