The Price of Power

The days had grown warmer as spring spread across the estate, filling the gardens with new life. Flowers burst into bloom, their colors bright against the deep green of the leaves. Luna loved this season. She spent her mornings with Anna, exploring the gardens, and her afternoons with James, learning the basics of control and focus. Each day brought new discoveries, and each lesson added another layer to her growing sense of purpose.

But even as her powers blossomed, so did her curiosity about the world beyond the mansion walls. Luna often asked her parents about the lands beyond the estate, about the cities and villages they rarely visited. She sensed a vastness beyond her world, a feeling that there was more waiting for her out there.
