Legs shoulder length, arms brought up and right leg slipped forwards.

"Again." Her annoying voice said again.

I took a deep and lifted my arms higher before dropping them to my hips and closing my fists and lifting them up before my chest, unrolling my fingers, calm and concentration.

She lifted a hand, the other arm bent in her back, lightning skipping from her thumb to her pinky and back to her pointer finger and middle finger while the rest closed of them before whipping around in half a spin, lightning racing down her arm and off her other fingers in the same positions.

I copied her, catching the lighting..... And getting thrown back when I bent my arm to try to guide it through me.

"Lets stop." She said with a sigh.

"No! I can do this!" I said, already up on one knee despite how much I was smoking and my hair stuck up from the charges, irritated by my failure. It was even worst as the twins were watching.

"You can't do it so there is no use in suffering." I hissed softly at her words.

"I can fucking do it!"

"Language!"

"I don't care! Do it!"

"I will not have you talk like this, we are done and that's final."

She walked away as I glared.

I jumped forwards and slammed my right foot in the ground, three big rocks tore themselves from it and with three spinning kick while alternating the leg which I hit the rock with, sent them hurdling towards her.

She whipped around, punching the first in half and throwing her hand out in front of her, crashing the two halves created into the two other chunks.

"What do you think you are doing?!" She demanded as I spun on myself, dragging my foot along the ground to kick up dust and whipped my open palmed hand out, sending a dust devil at her.

I snapped my hands down at my side and lifting them up, creating icicles before yanking them down to my hip level, fists closed tight and punched the arm, sending three or four at her each time, cartwheeling to the side without hands to avoid a blast of flames aimed at the ice and not at me, she didn't even have the spine to do it.

I planted my feet solidly as I heard the twins cheer and threw my arms diagonally with my palms touching, the ground opening in a huge crack.

Dropping my arms down as facing my palm at the crack before closing my fingers and yanking upwards, molten fire spewing up at her.

I froze as the small cry of pain that cleared my thoughts and I instantly dropped out of my stance with wide eyes.

She shook the molten rock off her hands and arms, red welt like burns on her skin.

It was as if I forgot that she was also part human and could be hurt by this.

I gasped as I heard lightning crackling, stuck my hand out to catch it and sent it exploding at the ground out of my other sending me stumbling forth.

"You think too much with your emotions." I looked at her almost scared and worried as her cold neutral look was embellished with a brow fur of slight anger. "Lightning is raw power, you can't let your emotions play a role here, that's why you keep failing, to think means failure Lin, you should learn to control them." And walked away, this time not getting stopped.

"That was awesome!" Fin yelled, coming over to me in  a jog as I watched her walk away. "How did you do that?! With the earth!"

"She taught me..." I whispered, furred brows pulling upwards in a saddened look I shook off my face soon enough.

"Mystery is the best mage so if you want to learn something she sure can teach you so ask her brother." Fen said to Fin and they started their age old dispute of Fin not daring to ask her for one on one lessons because he admired her so much and Fen trying to convince him.

I walked away from them without either realizing, head hanging low and staring at my hands.

I could have severely hurt her, even killed if I had gotten a lucky shot, lucky I didn't.

I needed to clear my head so I went outside the castle walls, more or less walking right passed the guards, lazy as they are sleeping on the job, and down into town.

It didn't change much, this time it wasn't my thoughts bothering me but the thoughts of others, all whispering about my heritage that wasn't mine to have.

I had so many expectations to live up too seeing who's child I was and who was training me, I wasn't even my own person to people, I was the daughter of the silver dragon, someone that was to reach her skill level and surpass her, the one official title I had was the silver dragon's daughter.... I hated it, having even scorched the insignia so the color was gone.

I was a legacy to a title I strive for but was never enough for her, never enough for Mystery.... Or Arianwyn as her family should call her tho I can never please her with anything.

Siera, being mother's little girl had not felt like I did, being the first true blooded daughter they had, that's when it first fell that there was a difference in being adopted into a family and born into it.... I still feel guilt for the plan my little kid brain cooked up about smothering her with a pillow so I was still an only child..... I was already a kid with a character back then.

Kia, despite being born to her, didn't get her magic abilities, with all the troubles she has with the little she has it is a good thing but I did see the look of disappointment on Mystery's face when the news were revealed, probably wanting a kid worth training instead of me.


I dragged a hand down my face, ignoring the whispers about my title and who I was and was to be, and decided to venture deeper into town to have time to myself.
