The next morning came too quickly.
Lyra barely slept.
Every time she closed her eyes—
She felt it again.
That power.
That shift.
That moment where everything inside her felt… different.
Stronger.
And it scared her.
“You’re awake.”
Kael’s voice came from the doorway.
Lyra looked up.
“I didn’t really sleep.”
Kael stepped inside.
Calm as always.
“That’s expected,” he said.
Lyra let out a small breath.
“I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do now.”
Kael studied her for a moment.
“Then we start with control.”
Lyra frowned slightly.
“Control what?”
Kael didn’t answer.
Instead, he turned and gestured.
“Come with me.”
The training ground was empty.
Too early for the others.
Too quiet.
Perfect.
Lyra stepped into the open space.
Her heart already starting to race.
