Wing Training

Knock. Knock. Knock.

“Come in.” Bailong turned in bed and sat up with some effort. Every part of him was aching. He did not hasten to see why he was aching. Instead, he focused on Neulin, who had brought in bath water and went about his work.

Bailong sat down and closed his eyes. The first lessons in Aliferous were always about breathing and calming one’s mind and soul before the day of training starts. There were no such things in Kaizen. He had missed it in his days here. Once he felt calmer and ready to train, he went and took a bath, while talking to Neulin.

“Tell me more about Probationer Hongli.” Bailong asked. The more he thought about Sevir, the complicated it seemed. Apart from his secret abilities, Sevir’s fire was also an interesting subject. Despite the impeccable control, people were scared of Sevir. Either he was cruel or unstable. Neulin had said both, but it still did not fit the person he saw.
