It had been a few weeks since my mother's projection. After seeing her I doubled my efforts to become stronger. As my meditation continued to make my body stronger and more agile I asked Wilder for training. He hadn't wanted to at first. When I reasoned with him that it would allow me to better protect myself if attacked with those people after me he finally agreed. I had started training with the pack warriors. Wilder's reassurances that I would be accepted as luna despite being human turned out to be true. He hadn't told the warriors that my strength and reflexes were far better than a humans though so they took it easy on me at first. Until I wiped the floor with 3 warriors who were treating me as a normal human. Since then they no longer treated me as a simple human.
Wanting to become stronger as quickly as possible to save my mother and protect the people I love I had started a strict training regime. Waking at 4:30 for breakfast before training with the pack warriors for 3 hours. Snack, then meditation at our secret spot for 6 hours before Wilder brought me lunch. Then an additional 3 hours of meditation before heading home to train with Wilder. After that I would take a shower while Wilder prepared dinner.
"Cass, I know you want to get stronger as soon as possible but you know you could take it a little easier right?"
"My mother is alive Wilder. I have to save her. She refused to let me see how bad they had hurt her. So it has to be bad. I cant let them kill her. Plus wouldn't it better to have a strong luna instead of a weak luna?"
I smirk and laugh slightly at her calling herself weak. "I suppose. Just promise you wont overdo it alright?" Seeing her nod in agreement I feel a little better. She has made huge strides in strength and I don't think she even realizes how much stronger she has gotten in the last few weeks. When she trains with my warriors they are putting out their full strength. Soon, she will only be able to train with the strongest in the pack to improve her strength, yet she thinks she is a weak luna? The old man had been putting more of the pack work on me recently saying he wanted to look in the old records for any information that might help Cass. So I had to get a few of the warriors to stand guard for her during her meditation.
As I was packing up the food scraps leftover from the lunch I brought for us to eat there was a sudden change in energy that put me on high alert.
I had noticed for awhile now that something was trying to erupt during my meditation. I wasn't sure what it was though and wanted to continue focusing on strengthening my body and reflexes so pushed it back continually. Today, it seemed I wouldn't be able to hold it back any longer and it surges forth. Out of breath after my power has calmed back down I take a look around me to see Wilder looking at me. Stunned. I take a closer look at my immediate surroundings and notice that some of the water has frozen into ice droplets while some of the spray from the waterfall further away seems to be frozen in time. None of it near me as there seems to be a large barrier of air around me having pushed all the water, and even some stone over three feet away from my body.
I had a breakthrough in power!
