Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view

Treva escorted me to the chamber that had an altar and four incense burners around it. As usually, she didn't come in.

"I knew you have great potential, but you surprised everyone…", Lumiona said and gestured to me to sit next to the altar. "How about you tell me about your state of mind before you flew above water with a whirlpool following you? The winds followed you into the water, that was impressive."

I skipped the part about Duke, but I told her I had a dream that made me uneasy and I woke up feeling the breeze and without thinking I went into the lake, with an intention to cool off.

"There is no need to contain your power, child.", Lumiona said. "You will not master it unless you embrace it. Think about this incident and the previous one. What was in common?"

I thought about it, and I realized that in both cases, I felt that breathing is difficult. I started playing with that.
