“I’m fine Lily, you can rest now.” She told her friend as she laid down the cold wood floor inside the trainee house.
She’s been released after two days of being inside the cell and now she’s tending her slowly healing wounds from the bite of the beasts that lurks inside the forest.
Lily was with her at the moment, she’s cleaning her wounds and was amazed by the healing process she had undergone inside the cage.
“You’re truly different Khaliana, if it was me on your position, I might be buried 6 feet underground with this type of wound.” Lily uttered as she clean her wound.
“I don’t know Lily, I can’t even explain it to myself. Maybe it’s not yet my time to be dead.” She told her.
“But Khaliana can’t you see? You have the ability to heal yourself. It’s still 3 days ago yet you were almost healed.
This is not a normal thing that a simple woman can endure. However, I am very happy that you’re fine now.”
She said to her but she signaled her to lower her voice, she doesn’t want other women to know her abnormality.
“I’m sorry, I will be careful next time.” She said whispering as she examined the place.
She nods as she heard her words.
They went to sleep after cleaning her wounds, she relaxed herself because she knew tomorrow will be another torture for her.
But something was on her mind that until now she cannot figured out with herself.
What am I?
Why do I have this ability?
I can hear even from afar, I have the strength that enables me to protect myself just like what I did with the rogues, and my wounds heals surprisingly fast.
And I heard talking mysterious voice in my head.
What’s my role in this world?
Who am I?
The thoughts lingered her mind as she drift off to sleep.
When morning came, she didn’t complain about her wounds at all, it healed completely but she has to hide it from others because they might think of her as an unusual person.
She run with the others when the clock strikes 4:00 in the morning, she run slower than the others so that they will think she still has that wound in her legs.
She scanned the place making sure that Lieutenant Geordo was not around, she has still fear on him.
He seem to be not around today. Thank you Goddesses.
Lily was with her all the time assessing her to make their acting more convincing. She thank Lily for that effort.
The next level of the training came after breakfast. It’s been a while since she didn’t get a proper training and they only had 2 days left before the captain will decide who goes to be a soldier or who will walk the different path. She needs to make sure that captain Benedict will choose her and Lily as soldier and not the other way around.
“Khaliana!” Lily shouted to her. She turned her gaze to her and wait for her to say what she wants to say.
“The captain was asking for your presence.” she said, then they went to the captain’s position.
“Captain.” she uttered and bow to him. She made sure that she will look alive and not sick at all.
“Good that you’re in the right condition now, I summoned you here to give you another set of drill routine.” He said.
