After Nessa left, she went to find the princess who was outside where they were training before and when Nessa found her there with Zack she smiled a little, but then noticed that something seem a bit off with the girl, she seemed slightly worried and Nessa's brows furrowed.

Nessa approached them and Mikala glanced at her then smiled and Zack sighed, feeling a little bit relieved and Nessa glanced at him, wondering what was wrong with them and why they were being like that.

The girl sighed then approached Zack and he looked at her as her eyes narrowed, while staring at him and he smiled a little nervously as Mikala looked at what was going on.

"Is there something I should know, Zack?" She asked and he scoffed.

"No, why would you think that?" He asked and a smirk appeared on her face.

'Clearly he is lying, I wonder what's bothering the two of them,' She thought as she glanced at Mikala and the girl flinched then Nessa scoffed.

"I was just wondering, you guys are acting a little weird, in my eyes at least," She said and the two exchanged glances and Nessa glanced at them then scoffed.

"Don't worry, we are not hiding anything from you, we are just a little worried about things lately, it's a little different before, changes are coming as well and she is slightly nervous about who will become the next person to sit in the king's seat, that's all," Zack said and Nessa smiled at him, believing that it could be one of the reasons but not the only one.

"I see, well I understand her situation, most of the others are a little worried as well, after all the king will be telling us who he chose today, this after just after dinner," She replied and at the same time, Mikala lowered her head.

Nessa saw then sighed, wondering if what she was thinking is right or not but decided not to say anything else about the matter.

"So he is really serious about telling us today... Whatever, what's done is done, there is nothing we can do about it, shall we start our training Nessa, if you are ready of course?" Mikala asked as Nessa approached her and she looked at the girl.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Mikala, calm down for a moment, yes I am ready to train with you," She responded and the girl exhaled deeply then smiled at Nessa.

"Now, redo what you did the last time, let's see how much you have improved, only then will I give you other things to do," Nessa said and Mikala nodded.

The girl stepped forward then she took a deep breath, claming herself down since she was bothered and her eyes began glowing brightly as she looked at the large rock before her.

"All right, focus," She mumbled and Zack smiled at her.

"When I leave here, you will have to help her after, got it?" Nessa asked and he glanced at her then smiled before nodding and she chuckled before returning her attention to the girl.

A blue ball beagn forming in front of Mikala's right hand and the air around it was slightly cool and Nessa smiled as it glowed bright blue and her eyes shimmered then she shot it towards the rock and it formed a long water like bullet.

When the bullet hit the rock, the collision made a loud bang then she sighed as she and the others looked at it and saw a large hole was in the middle of the rock and Zack smirked when he saw that.

"What was that sound?" The king asked as he sat in his throne room, talking to a few people, then he glanced oputside the window.

Even he heard since the throne room within the castle was not located that far from where Mikala was training with Nessa.

"Did I do good?" Mikala asked as she turned to look at Nessa and Zack glanced at Nessa as well and she smiled at them.

"Yeah, you did well, in fact that was more than just good, you are a fast learner Mikala, you will be able to go far with this ability of yours as long as you try to master it, if that's what you want of course?" Nessa asked and Mikala smiled brightly.

"Ah, it is what I want, thank you very much, Nessa," She responded then hugged Nessa tightly and Nessa glanced at her then smiled before hugging back the girl.

"I will teach you another thing to get you started, I might not be here much longer," Nessa said then Mikala raised off of her and lowered her head a little.

"I almost forgot that you will be leaving here soon, I am really greateful to you," She replied and Nessa patted her on her shoulder.

"I will see you again, I will come visit but it may be a good while after, shall we get started?" She asked and Mikala smiled at her then nodded.

Nessa began teaching the girl a few more ways to use her abilities, how to apply them and how to make an attack stronger, giving her a few ideas, since there were many forms in which one could use an ability such as hers.

As they practiced, Zack watched over them and just then, Jovan approached them and Zack glanced at them as did Nessa.

"Princess, your brother, Nios was looking for you," Jovan said and she sighed.

"I will meet him in a few, thank you for telling me," She replied and he nodded then Nessa glanced at Kyle, who was beside him and he smiled at her.

"Are you training? Well, that's good I guess but it's not like you have to do anything to need to master your abilities, whatever it may be, someone else is going to be the leader and he will have a lot of followers to protect him," Jovan said and Mikala clecnhed her fist and Nessa clearly saw that the girl was going to say something for herself and her brows furrowed.

"And? So what? Why would any of that stop her from training, sir? Aren't there many other reasons she could use her abilties for?" Nessa asked and his brows furrowed as he looked at her and Zack scoffed as Kyle glanced at them.
