By the next day, Ghazan was in her room, reading a few books that he saw on her table, when she yawned and saw him seated.
She checked the time it was still six, she pretended that she didn't see him and closed back her eyes to sleep like he was never there,
"If I were you I wouldn't do that"... he said and looked at her
"Master, it's till six".
"Zillah why don't you wash up, get prepared, eat some food and fruits, I'm sure it will help you.
You're only exhausted because you're weak and tired, you need normal energy, now go. Take your time".
He left her with no further argument.
She moaned and stood up.
She stayed in the bathroom for Soo long that when she came out it was already seven.
She quickly went into the kitchen, the kitchen staffs were all up.
"Are you hungry miss?"... a lady asked her.
"Yes"..., she replied.
"I'll get you something to eat"...the lady left her standing.
She couldn't stop looking around as this was her first time here.
The staffs weren't much in number but the kitchen was quite big.
She ate without haste, and went to get some fruits. She ate some bananas and apples and rested for a while.
She was already at the valley before Ghazan arrived.
"Good"...his voice was heard, this woke her up from her short nap.
"You look hyped today, you can as well feel it, can't you?"...
"I can, Thank you master".
"Yesterday you did a lot of meditation, today would be more of practice, where's your katana?"...
She teleported back to go get it.
"Your weapon is of fire, but that doesn't mean you can't use it, okay".
"Okay"...she replied.
"Are we ready?...," he asked to see her reaction.
"I'm ready"...she answered.
Ghazan asked her about Alvah,
"Is he aware of your absence recently".
"No he comes in the night". She noticed this because whenever she wakes up she feels his presence but he's gone.
"Okay let's begin. I want to know your capabilities, show me something".
She looked at her palm, creating a twirly wind which increased in size today making her happy and sent it to him.
He tore through the wind with his fingers, She was shocked.
"Do you know why I did that?".... "No"
"No force, no pressure, its like playing with air. That's good for entertainment not for fighting".
"Your words are straightforward"..., she complained. It isn't the first time he's done this.
"If I don't tell you who else will, they would only pamper you or encourage you not to look down on yourself meanwhile you're miserable".
"The difference is that I'm telling you your fault and your job is to correct it, if I change the fault, know this, you have gotten rid of that problem".
"Now energize yourself and this time, he pointed at a tree, bring it down".
She looked at the tree, "my day has started"... she murmured this.
It took hits before half of the root was damaged. She was sweating profusely, and was very exhausted.
Ghazan was meditating, not even Keeping at eye on her.
She kept sending air waves to the tree till she walked to it and kicked it hard with her legs and fell down. Hours passed by.
Ghazan opened his eyes, he saw her on the ground, "five minutes"... he said to her hearing.
He gave her only but five minutes to rest. Her five minutes was over but she refused to get up.
Without stressing himself, he sent air from his hand. She was being lifted up till she got on her feet.
"Thank you".... He nodded.
She spun around, creating a little tornado, this got Ghazan attention, which she released to the tree, the tree bent then she threw hard hits again at the tree.
It was a slow, hard fall. The sound from the tree when hitting the ground caused her to tremble.
"Another one..." she heard
She looked at him with pitiful face, he didn't spare a glance at her. She took in deep breath and exhaled it, walking to another tree, she started again.
She had passed out for about three times for the second tree.
He always told her when she takes break, the time she uses to rest the more she pulls down trees but she cannot help it.
She was done with the third and the fourth tree, she was waiting to hear the word stop when she was done with the third tree, as three was an important number when counting, Only for her to hear, "continue".
"I can't stand"...she shouted when he told her to start the fifth tree, it was already 8:13. She had literally crashed to the ground, her heart beat wasn't normal.
"I'm tired"... she groaned.
"Zillah...." he walked to her, she was soaked in sweat and her heart beat hard. it troubles her, she could barely breathe.
He said to her "It's just a tree", She glared at him.
"Don't", he warned. She turned her gaze, sitting up.
"For pulling down trees you are exhausted, have you thought how many people you would have to fight on a battle ground".
"They can't be as hard as a tree".
"When I was under training with Vimal, he would tell us to harm ourselves using our own powers, most especially Deivigan".
She was startled, "Why?"...
"How can you not know how your own power feels like but others do. You should tell them, this hurts because you have felt it, know pain.
That's what he tells us".
"Wow.." she exclaimed, "I guess your father too was mad".
He laughed.
"Why did he do that?"... he asked and explained,
"Don't think that you have met the worst enemy, they are more to come. You are one but they are many.
Have you ever thought why people confront you but you have never confronted people, most especially if you are a good person"
"No"..., she answered,
"Because it's life. That's how it's meant to be, but in the end they make up pages and Chapters in your book".
"Today we didn't get to use your katana, we'll skip that".
"Wait, we were still going to do that, unbelievable".
"Of course".
"Zillah, what I am doing is building up your strength and endurance, if I give you my full power, you don't have enough energy to perform any skill.
Lastly, due to excess of power in a weak body or vessel which is you, it's pressure will lead to break or bursting".
"What?..." she shouted.
"I'm an Empyreal Of First Chamber, originator of Air power, do you think my power can be stored in a small and weak vessel".
She loves it when he addresses himself, it reminds her that she really is with someone like this. She thought this and was smiling unknowingly.
"No"..., she replied.
"Exactly, now pull down this tree and go home".
It was her fastest among the others, but she was done by 10:7. She fainted the moment the tree fell down.
He stood up and carried her home. He laid her on the bed, and opened the windows.
He wrote on a paper, don't forget to bath and rest, we start by 10.
He smiled at her and left.
The breeze made her sleep even long lasting, it's like she shouldn't wake up.
Aeron had been coming during the day, but she wasn't around. When he saw her he smiled and left.
It was a good thing he didn't see the letter otherwise he would begin to wonder who she was with.
