I fell again. But I stood up and tried again. I had been training for months, and I was exhausted. But every time I was on the edge of giving up, I remembered that Luna's life was in my hands. That is what kept me going.
"Ready, young Zain?" Ixeor asked. I nodded. Ixeor fired a spell at my head. Closed my eyes and pushed my hand forward. I felt a wind blow around my head. I opened my eyes to see a wind blowing the spell back at Ixeor. I put more strength in my arms and the wind got closer until the spell hit Ixeor. I was breathing heavily, but I was proud. Ixeor had fell to the ground. He looked up to me with a proud smile. I helped him up.
"Great job, young Zain. That makes three controlled powers." He said. I smiled. I had already mastered Water and Earth. Now I could add Wind to the list as well. Ixeor's face turned serious.
"That leaves the last, hardest magical element: Fire."
I sighed. Fire had always been my worst power. Fire might be to strong for me. But, I must control all my powers. I nodded at Ixeor.
"Okay, let's begin. I am ready." I said. Ixeor grabbed his wand from the floor. He looked at me.
"I am going to fire a strong spell at you. Maybe it will trigger your magical Fire. I must tell you this: this spell is quite strong and a bit dangerous. Try not to fall of the steps. It won't kill you, if you are able to stand your ground. You must never fall from this very platform. Do you understand, young Zain?" I nodded. I was a little nervous, but I set my legs in a strong position and I made fists. I locked eyes with Ixeor and nodded at him.
"I'm ready. Fire it." I said. Ixeor lifted his wand and fired the spell.
I was still standing. Nothing had happened, but I didn't fall. I looked at Ixeor.
"Hm, nothing happened but at least you are still standing on the platform. That is one improvement." He said. I weakly smiled. I wasn't really sure if I should be proud or not. I reached for my chest. The spell was strong indeed and it had hit my chest. But, soon enough the pain faded and I let go of my chest. I saw Ixeor lost in his thought.
"Ixeor? What do we do now?" I asked, hoping he would react.
"I think we have to do something more... dangerous." Ixeor said. I felt a chill running through my spine.
"What do you have in mind?" I hesitantly asked. He looked at me with his serious eyes.
"I will have to trap you in a burning room."
