I sat at the door for hours, banging at the door, begging to be let in. I felt somewhat guilty at this point, I just want to learn how to write again.

I was hitting my 5 hour point by now, and I was getting tired. I finally slumped down and sat my head at the back of the door, seconds later it opened. "Up." I heard Stephen say. I grabbed my stuff and walked in.

He walked me in a opposite direction of where I walked earlier. He walked me through a courtyard, and we continued walking to where everyone stayed. He open up a door to a decent sized room, it had a bed with an iPad on the desk, a sink and a drawer.

"Dammit Clea, your lucky I got you in here. She really is not liking you right now." He said handing me a card. "This is the wifi password." Stepping back. I looked at him with showing no emotion, "Is this where you ran away to? What good did it bring for you? Do you know how you crushed Christine's heart." I said crossing my arms. Strange averted his eyes away from me, he began to take a breath and speak up before I cut him off again. "I know we had pretty much the same problem but I need help, I can't function anymore I have no hopes to do anything, I'm a car without a driver I have nowhere to go. If you tricked me to coming here than i shoving a finger up your ass and never returning." I said waiting for him to respond.

"First of all Clea, you have no damn clue why I came here, so listen. I fucking broken no intention of getting better, this guy with no chance of healing came here and got better. He had a C-7, and C-8 spinal injury positive to never walk again, i talked to him while he was running around playing basketball. I came here to learn, and become better." He said turning his eyes towards me and pointing a finger at my chest taking a step forward.

"Learn to toughen the hell up, or you'll be kicked out." He said before walking off again. I was left confused, but I just put all my stuff away and took a much needed shower. I got out, let my hair air dry then I braided it to be tight, but it was difficult with my shakey hands. I saw clothes on the bed that were given to me, so I changed into them.

I looked outside and it was getting quite dark so I decided I would walk around for a bit. I wandered off into the place finding the library, courtyard, training grounds, and so on.

I found a ledge at the end of the place, hanging off the mountain where we were placed. I sat down and just looked out towards the rest of the scenery. "You have a great power Miss Sage." I heard the ancient one speak up. "Your arrogance blinds you, but I see beyond that." She said grasping into my shoulder.

"I want to help you, and I will." She said still standing behind me. "I have a question." I turned my head to face her, "Is this where you thought you would be?" She starting thinking, she looked at me once again, "Difficult question, but yes and no. I thought I would always have a close tie with the mythic arts as I got older, but I would also say, I never would think I would be healing people with their full potential." She said satisfied with her answer.

"I would get to bed sooner than later Miss Sage, you have a big day tomorrow." She said smiling at me shortly then turning to leave. I followed her words and went to bed.

I woke up and looked at the small clock near my bed, that read 7:02. I sat up, and flung my legs to the other side of the bed. I got up, brushed my teeth, took out my braids and putting my hair in a high ponytail and I changed. I found red garments in the dresser so I took those out and got changed. Once I was finished I check the time once again the read, 7:25 then I left my hut.

Walking out people were just starting to get up too, so I walked back to the courtyard where people were walking in a certain direction. I walked along with them into a feeding area. I grabbed and apple and slice of toast to go and sit somewhere. I walked out into the courtyard sat myself down and started to eat my apple. Just as I was about to take a bite of my apple, someone grabbed my arm and hoisted me up.

"Come on, we need to start training, your behind." Strange said staring at me in my eyes, hiding some type of emotion I couldn't catch. I dropped my food at the ledge and followed him. We went to another courtyard where many people were dressed in the same clothing as me.

"The first most important thing to the mystic arts, your hands." The master said as he lifted his hands and did a movement with them. He did it a couple of times before waiting for us to do it.

I held out my hands in front of my shakily and tried to mimic the movements of the man before me but I just failed. My hands were shaky and I couldn't seem to focus. The other masters spread out around the place came around to help us. I had a male come up to me and he helped rearrange my hands.

I batted my eyes upward to see Strange looking at me with a hint of jealousy in his eyes, before he moved his eyes to lose contact.

I continued to do the hand movements for about 20 more minutes before we were handing a sling ring. We lined up, 10 people in each row making 30 of us. We started to make portals, but mine would just spark and not light up completely like the others.

I was becoming frustrated and my movements became sloppy. My movements became unreadable, while others were creating complete portals. I saw out of the corner of my eye, Strange was eyeing me. He had a disappointed look on his face.

He moved from his position and he walked over to me, and dragged me to somewhere more secluded, in a garden. It had some statues in it, with flower growing all around.

Show me your hands as if you are going to make a portal. I did, and he just sighed. He walked behind me and grabbed my hands with his. "You put one hand here.." he said as he grabbed in of my hands. "there- and the other one here." As he grabbed my other hand. His hands had scars running down them, with veins coming out of them. His hands flexed with muscles in them as he grabbed onto my hands. His front pressed into my back, I could feel his sculpted abs press into me.

"Like this." He said, his breath fanning behind my ear and on my neck. Blush rose to my face as he grabbed my hands and moved them in a perfect circle. It was silent other than the heavy breathing from us two, and the faint chatter of people around us.

He created a portal in front of me, then he closed it. "Do you get it?" He said whispering in my ear. I gulped and and turned around a nodded in a frantic action. He chuckled then smirked at me having a faint blush on his cheeks. "Go ahead, I'm waiting." He said waiting for me to try.

I turned around creating golden sparks, with nothing coming. "Fuck.." I groaned. "Here follow me." He said as he made a portal to Mount Everest, with snow and wind falling out it making me shiver . I walked in and turned around expecting for him to come in, "You need to learn to let go of everything. Stop holding on to being arrogant, let go of what you know." He said yelling above the high wind.

He stepped out and shut the portal. I tried to make a portal but nothing happened. A sudden gust of wind pushed me off my feet in a fell onto the snowy terrain. I stood up and told myself to get my act together. "Forget everything I know..." I said before I secured the ring on my fingers, then I raised
