The moonlight shone through the luminescent dorm room window curtains. It's been two weeks since the pre-assessment and the doctor finally allowed her to continue with her training. It turns out that with the power of fire, you heal faster than others.
I rose out of bed and dragged myself to the bathroom. When I turned on the light, there was a face staring back at me. I knew it was mine, but something was different.
Looking at me through the mirror was a girl with long, straight, red hair with golden and orange streak. Brown eyes with beautiful red flecks. I blinked once, twice. My cheeks were rosy and my lips fuller and more pink.
My true form! I thought. They talked about this in Power Ed. They said that once you have your power, your true form will appear. It's very rare that your new appearance matches your power.

Once inside, he quickly pushed me into a corner and held me there.
"Listen to me.You must not tell anyone about this. Promise"
