Guardian Of Ancient Wood

Chapter 35

The next morning brought with it a clear sky and a refreshing breeze. Rain and Furie found themselves in the familiar clearing, surrounded by the sounds of nature. The two Guardians were alone, ready to dive into the world of water manipulation. Rain began the session by demonstrating his water prowess. A gigantic wave emerged, its crystalline blue beauty captivating Furie. Rain, with short blond hair sticking to his pale forehead, exhibited full control over the aquatic spectacle. Despite his youthful appearance, the maturity in his movements spoke volumes. As the wave danced gracefully around the clearing, Furie observed with keen interest. Rain's mastery of water was evident, and Furie absorbed every detail. Her eyes followed the intricate patterns, and she marveled at the elegance of Rain's manipulation.

The morning unfolded with Rain sharing his knowledge generously. Furie proved to be an exceptional student, quickly grasping the concepts and demonstrating a natural affinity for water magic. Rain was impressed by Furie's abilities, noting that everything she created seemed to surpass the scale of his initial demonstrations. The sun ascended in the sky, casting a warm glow over the clearing. The morning session went by swiftly, and soon it was time to leave for the Queen's meeting.

When Leaf joined Furie and rain in the clearing, the trio of Guardians finally made their way towards the central hub leading to the Queen's castle. As they walked, Leaf and Rain engaged in discussions about the upcoming meeting. However, Furie's attention was divided between the verbal exchange around her and the constant flow of fire message spheres arriving in her hands. Leaf, ever watchful of Furie, noticed the subtle shifts in her expressions as she read each new message. Furie's face transformed from curiosity to annoyance, from amusement to contemplation, creating a dynamic display of emotions.

Intrigued, Leaf couldn't help but comment, asking Furie if she and Blaze were becoming friends through their spheres of conversations. Furie, raising her eyebrows, made a noncommittal gesture with her shoulder, indicating a sense of uncertainty. "I am not sure what is happening, but I prefer this new Blaze compared to the angry one." She explained that, in some strange way, Blaze seemed to be opening up a bit. The meaning behind Blaze's messages remained a mystery to Furie, but the fact that Blaze was exchanging banter with her felt like a small step in a positive direction.

As the group continued their journey to the Queen's castle, Furie couldn't help but wonder if the sarcastic and annoying messages from Blaze were perhaps a sign of an evolving connection between them. Despite the uncertainty, Furie held a glimmer of hope for a future where her relationship with her newfound sister might not be as strained as it initially appeared.

Through the fiery exchange of messages, Blaze seemed to convey a mixture of superiority and a somewhat dismissive attitude towards Furie. Blaze believed herself to be stronger due to her upbringing in the Guardian's world, expressing a lack of faith in Furie's abilities, considering her human world origins. Furie, rolling her eyes at Blaze's apparent arrogance, couldn't help but find her sister's perspective to be narrow-minded. Blaze shared a bit about her own past, revealing that her father was a Fire Guardian who diligently taught her everything he knew from the moment she displayed any signs of possessing powers. Furie, upon reading about Blaze's childhood, couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness. Blaze's upbringing seemed solely focused on work and mastering her elemental abilities, devoid of any hint of love or warmth. Blaze's father appeared to have a singular mission—raising a strong Guardian—leaving Furie to ponder the emotional void in Blaze's past.
