Days passed as Kai trained and went on small missions with the guild. The more time he spent with his new friends, the more he began to open up. One afternoon, while practicing under the warm sun, Rohan pulled Kai aside.
> "Kai, we've all had our struggles. But here, you're not alone. Tell us about what you feel when you use your power."
Kai looked down, a mix of uncertainty and hope in his eyes,
> "It feels like… like there's a fire inside me. It scares me sometimes, because I worry I might hurt someone if I'm not careful."
Kian put a reassuring hand on his shoulder,
> "That fire is your strength. You have to trust yourself, Kai. We're here to help you control it."
Lyra nodded,
> "And our bond is what makes us strong. We all have our scars, but together, we can heal."
Kai managed a small smile, feeling a deep sense of belonging,
> "Thank you. I'm starting to understand that I'm not defined by my past. With you all, I can be more."
Their honest conversation deepened the bond among them, making Kai feel that he truly had a family now.
