Chapter 47

The winter weather was cold. Colder than she had ever felt before. She had a hard time not fidgeting to stay warm, and she wondered why it was so important for this lesson to be given outside.

Not to mention she was really getting tired of Steval constantly telling her she needed to work harder. They had spent the last two weeks working on everything from history to battle skills, to the powers that apparently laid dormant inside all of them.

Or at least, inside of her.

It had taken several days for Elder Steval to teach her how to build a wall around the Shadow Spot, as she had come to call it. Of course, if Steval heard her name for the Spot, he would probably correct her with some technical term for the Spot. He was fantastic at correcting everyone.

The only person that seemed ecstatic about Steval’s tutelage was Pontius. It seemed Pontius, despite his whining about not wanting to learn, was showing the strain of not learning anything.
