A Delicate Balance

Alina's Pov-

3 days later-

I was doing my training when my vision became blurry and I couldn't stand properly on my feets. I stumbled into the house, my movements unsteady as if I had just emerged from a tempest. My eyes flickered with exhaustion, and I clung to the door frame for support. The grueling training session had drained every ounce of strength from my body. As I stood there, swaying like a delicate reed in the wind, Lily noticed my distress. She rushed to me, concern etched across her face.

"Luna, are you alright?" Lily asked, her voice tinged with worry.

I tried to respond, but my words came out as mere whispers. I shook my head, attempting to clear the fog that clouded my mind, but it only made me feel more unsteady. Soon, I felt her arms around my waist, providing the support I desperately needed, and guided me to my room.

Once we got inside, Lily carefully helped me to settle onto my bed.
