THE PAST FEW DAYS I'VE BEEN TRAINING WITH BAGHRA. She's been teaching me how to form a ball of light. It's been a bit frustrating since every time I'm near to forming one, it would always vanish.

"Try again."spoke baghra. I let out a sigh before placing my hand on top of my left hands palm. I shut my eyes and take a deep breath before calling out to my powers.

Feeling the same surge of energy travel through my hands again I slowly open my eyes. I than concentrate the energy from my palms and focus on forming a ball of light with that energy.

Sparks of lights appear before it forms into a golden color ball. A smile appears on my face.

I'm doing it. I thought.

"Try and make it bigger."Baghra spoke. I than concentrate on what baghra said and stare at the glowing ball concentrating all the energy traveling from my glowing hands and make the ball bigger. The smile on my face widens and I glance at baghra who stares at me with a hint of proudness in her eyes.

I than stare at the glowing ball watching as the purple and blue lights inside dance around. I stare in awe.

Baghra clears her throat and I lift my gaze up to look at baghra. She gestures with her head for me to stop. I than let the ball of light vanish before turning my attention to her.

"I must say, I'm quite impressed."Baghra says and I smile. "But we are still not finished yet. You may have been able to summon the light but you still haven't tried doing it with your wings out." My smile fades completely forgetting about my wings.

"Oh, right, my wings."I murmur and place a hand on my back. "I completely forgot about that."I mumble.

"There will be a winter fete held in about a week, you and Miss Starkov will be putting out a performance in front of the guest."Baghra tells me taking me in by surprise. I place my hands on my lap and look down. "Just before you're performance you will continue on training with me,"She continues and I nod my head in understanding.

"Good, now you're gonna need plenty of rest because starting tomorrow I'm gonna go hard on you."she tells me and suck in a breath before nodding.

"Good, now leave, I still have to train that Alina girl."Baghra says standing up. I than stand up as well and went to leave but pause my steps. I turn back to the old woman who has her back on me.

"Baghra."I catch her attention and she turns to me with raised eyebrows. "Thank you."

A small smile appears on her face before it disappears, she nods her head in response before turning her back towards me. I stare at her for a few more seconds before walking out the hut. 

Something about her is different, she has this similar face but I can't recall who. I thought. I shake my thoughts away and continue walking to the little palace.

As I'm walking up the stairs and went to turn the hall a pause my steps as I hear hushed whispers. Curiously I than move closer towards the wall and peak my head out the corner just to see The General and Genya talking in hushed voices.

"What do you mean she's the golden crowned pheonix?"The general asks and Genya licks her lips turning her head away. I squint my eyes suspiciously at the two.

"I don't know general you ask me you're-"

A hand is placed on my shoulder making me jump, i let out a squeal turning to Zoya who has her eyebrows raised.

"Listening in on people's other conversation are you?"she question and i purse my lip looking down.

"I wasn't exactly trying to listen in on their conversation I was just trying to walk to my room, but I just so happen to see them."I reason with her hearing footsteps walk towards us. Zoya went to speak but was beaten to it.

"Evening miss nazyalensky."The general spoke sending shiver down my spine. I glance up seeing the general standing next time while Genya on the other side silently telling the saints to make me invisible. "Miss Marshall."The general glances at me. I let out a sigh.

"Apologize, general. Irina over here was listening into yours and miss safin's conversation."Zoya says and I open my mouth in protest but the general beats me to it.

"Thank you miss nazyalensky, if you don't mine I'd like to have a word with you miss Marshall."The general glances at me and I bite my cheek and slowly nod my head.  The general turns away and back into the hall he was in just a while ago.

I glance at zoya and Genya giving them both a look before turning my heals following after the general to who knows what's going to happen.

I wonder what the conversation between Genya and The general were going to lead to🤔
