Their days passed with nothing much happening.
If not for Saphira being enclosed in a cocoon, they would have suggested to go to a different place already.
Because they are unsure if Chester will really appear, they could just asked Zian to contact them the moment he appears.
But because of Saphira's condition, all of them could only train in this place.
Stormie trying to fly at least three people at the same time haviong time to train with Felix in flight fights.
Ridge expanding his knowledge of poison with Zian's inborn beast while alos improving in his sword fight.
Nixon improving his usage of ice with minimal magma.
Willow trying to move the darkness laced plants and those that were not together.
Drake was trying to increase the number of blades he could bring out.
Felix was also doing his best in his sword fight and trying to increase his control on his fire.
What Saphira showed him made him want to do it as well, the control on who to burn and what to not.
Zian was busy rebuilding the Empire and so they barely saw him as well.
This day was one of the rare times that he could come and train with them.
"What is with that frown?" he asked.
Just as he returned, he found Nixon frowning and from time to time looking at Felix and Stormie who was training together right now.
Nixon looked at him, "Am I?"
Zian raised an eyebrow, he really didn't realize that his face had been scrunching up?
"Then why are you glancing at those two?" Zian asked again.
Nixon was bewildered, "Am I?"
Zian wanted to hit him.
Is that all he will be saying with his questions?
"Don't mind him, he doesn't really know that was the truth," Ridge came and said.
He was also there albeit rarely.
Zian looked at Ridge and he could see that Ridge was having amusement plastered on his face.
Ridge didn't bother and simply looked at Nixon.
"I thought of something why don't you and Stormie train as well? You know your ice ability," Ridge suggested.
Nixon's ice is strong but together they were stronger.
"Why should I?" Nixon asked him.
If Zian was only thinking of hitting him a while ago, Ridge actually smacked him in the head.
"Aren't we strengthening ourselves? Felix has the initiation to do something better. What are you doing?"
"You don't have to hit me. They were having fun on their own do you expect me to get in between? No thank you," Nixon rubbed the back of his head that was hit.
"I am telling you to schedule a training and not to get in between them," Ridge answered rolling his eyes.
"There are things I want to do now, I'd rather not. I'll think about it some other time..."
Nixon paused before he frowned at his words.
"In the first place, why would I join train with that woman? We always bicker and ends up not doing anything. I'd rather use my time to myself than to spend time with her."
After saying this, he felt much more at peace.
This is how he had always answered in the past why was he speaking as if he was truly considering spending more time with her?
"It was you who always starts bickering with me so what is with that attitude?"
Stormie and Felix had just come down when she heard Nixon speaking ill of her.
"As if, it was always you who finds fault at everything I do."
"It was you, stupid."
"You are the stupid one, someone who calls other stupid is more stupid, flatboard."
"Air head, you always use that word, don't tell me your eyes are always there. Pervert."
Zian blinked his eyes as he watched them bicker with one another.
This was not the first time he had seen this in the past days but he couldn't help but be amused at how their conversation would jump from one place to another.
At this moment, his eyes noticed Felix and he could tell that he is somehow sullen.
He tilted his head to the side in wonder before he looked back at Nixon and Stormie who was still bickering and then back at Felix before he thought of something.
Enlightenment appeared on his face but before he could open his mouth, he felt someone place their hand on his shoulder.
"Better keep that to yourself. All these three are either sorting out their feelings or a complete airhead when it comes to this. It is better to have them realize everything on their own."
He looked and found Ridge, he seemed to be enjoying himself while looking at them.
"You are quite a sadist aren't you?" Zian commented as he chuckled.
He was not so close to them for him to interfere anyway, so he can just watch the show while they are still here.
Ridge shrugged before seeing Hunter coming out from the main building and walking towards them.
He had been tired all this time that sometimes he would wake up later than others and this is one of the few times that it happened.
It just shows that he was really training something that is very difficult to master.
As for why he was coming out of the main building instead of the former first prince's palace.
They requested for their lodging to be changed, they were no longer so used at sleeping in one room alone knowing the others were in the same place.
They were already used at seeing someone near them.
This also shows that the fear may not show but it was there.
And being with the others is better than being alone in a spacious room.
With that decision, they asked Zian for a favor of converting the conference hall where Saphira is.
Zian didn't mind since they are the hero and they are the ones who cleaned this place up.
With that, beds were made there and other necessities. Even the bathroom was also made.
It became a one big room divided into two spacious one with two bathrooms.
