~~~Cinder~~~

Linda carried me and Helen to one of the back towers of the castle. She set us down on a table in front of an unlit fire place. She brought over a chair and looked at me. Aunt Helen walked to the end of the table and sat down looking at me.

I looked over at Linda, "What are we going to learn first?" I asked after some silence.

She smiled, "Elemental magic...it is all your family can do" she said making me confused.

"How is my family one of the strongest covens when we can only control the elements?" I asked.

"The elements are the hardest type of magic that most don't even start to control until late in life...You are blessed with the knowledge, I just have to show you the way to it" Helen said.

"What a minute you fixed my uniform at the castle that one night?" I said.

"Air, one of the most powerful elements...It can grab anything and make illusions" Linda said.

To say this was confusing is an understatement but, I did feel like this was oddly true. 

"Now Cinder...try to light the fire place" Linda said pointing to it.

"How?" I asked.

"I can't tell you the path you seek. I can only encourage you to follow it" she said.  

"What? Please stop with the riddles" I said starting to get angry.

"Listen to the rage behind those eye...all of those years stuck there" Aunt Helen said.

"Stop" I said through gritted teeth. I felt the anger of those years start to fill me.

"Cinder all alone being abused...talked down to...watching his parents burn to death"

"STOP IT!!!" I screamed feeling my arm light on fire. My vision turned red and I aimed my hand at the fire place and launched some fire igniting it.

All this power gone and I fell down as my arm returned to normal. Helen ran over to me, "Fire the darkest of elements...most would of gave into the power hunger" she said lifting me up.

+++3 years later+++

I looked at a giant candle and aimed my hand at it lighting it on fire. I took a deep breath and blew it out with the wind. I walked out side for phase two of my training water and earth. The most challenging of elements. 

Water is the opposite of fire, you need to be vulnerable in order to control it. You need to be calm and have a blank mind. To me it is the most difficult in my current situation. King Edward has started to make his way over to this kingdom slowly. He is halfway here planing a sneak attack against my fiance for taking me...his personal whipping post.

How do we know this you may ask? The wind...I can listen to the warnings it brings my way. I feel like a hero with half of the things I have learned from Aunt Helen and Linda. I sat down next to the lake and touched the water. Feeling it roll over my hand and cleaning my hand. I had my eyes closed even when I felt the ground shake and water move. There was a big thump and I took a deep breath.

"Hello my love" I said with my eyes closed.

"How did you know it was me?" Dean asked.

"The way you walk...and your smell" I said smiling.

"My smell?" he asked. I than heard him sniffing.

I laughed, "Yeah you smell like honey and like ceder wood. I love it to be honest" I said.

I than was being lifted and I opened my eyes. I stopped right in front of his mouth where he kissed the top of my head. I returned the favor by kissing his lip. He pulled me back and I got lost in those electric blue eyes that make me feel at home. I rubbed his finger and he put me down.

"I can't believe I'm going to marry and rule with someone the size of my pinky" he said smiling.

"Oh hush you like love me and my size. You said so last night in bed" I said with a wink that made him blush.

"Umm" he said.

I just started laughing at how much of a child he looks like right now. Than something in the wind felt off and I stopped and froze in place. Dean saw this and asked, "Are you ok Cinder?" 

I looked at him with wide eyes as I heard two words, "Army March"  

"I need to see your parents right now with my aunt and Linda" I said which made Dean gulp and pick me up. 

10 minutes later we all were in the war room. I looked at Aunt Helen and Linda, "Listen to the wind" I said.

Both of them closed their eyes and focused for like a minute until both of them opened their eyes widely.

"What?" The king said.

I gulped and turned towards him, "The wind said Army March" I responded. 

The color drained from his face and the queen looked at me, "Well I guess your 5-year plan of revenge will be a 3-year plan of revenge" she said trying to not get angry.
