The unknown planet was a stark contrast to the desolate expanse of Planet Kurayami. Here, an icy landscape stretched as far as the eye could see, and the chill in the air was bone-piercing. Seraphine, Kai, and Selene stood atop a mountain, bundled up in their Galactic Patrol winter coats, each adorned with the distinctive logo.
Selene broke the silence, her voice carrying authority. "You don't know the basics of flying, so it seems you'll have to learn the hard way." With a swift shove, she sent Kai and Seraphine tumbling off the mountain's edge.
Their screams echoed through the frigid air as they plummeted towards the ground. Panic set in, but Kai's determination broke through the fear. He yelled at Seraphine, urging her to focus their ki to fly. Both closed their eyes, blocking out the rush of the wind as they concentrated on the energy flowing within them.
Suddenly, the freefall ceased, and they hung suspended in mid-air. Seraphine's eyes sparkled with delight, and she cried out, "We can fly! We can fly!" The realization that they could control their ki to defy gravity filled them with exhilaration as they soared back up to the mountaintop.
Selene awaited them with a knowing smile. "I knew you'd figure it out."
Their anger still smoldering, they thanked their instructor for the unorthodox lesson. Seraphine couldn't help but wonder what other trials lay ahead.
"What's next, Master Selene?" she asked.
"This planet has an area famous for ki training," Selene replied, leading them to the awaiting spaceship. "We'll head there now."
As they boarded the spaceship, anticipation filled the air. Their journey toward mastering ki and unlocking their full potential had only just begun.

Back on the Vaelithra, the trio continued to traverse the desolate landscape of Planet Kurayami. A sense of foreboding hung in the air as they made their way across the black desert. Suddenly, the ground trembled beneath them, and an enormous worm erupted from the sand, jaws snapping hungrily.
Reacting swiftly, Vaelithra, Sylvara, and Elara joined forces to fend off the colossal creature. Their combined strength proved formidable, and after a fierce struggle, they managed to defeat the massive worm.
Breathing heavily, Vaelithra couldn't shake the feeling that this desolate planet held even more surprises and dangers than they had anticipated.

Meanwhile, on the ice-covered planet, Seraphine, Kai, and Selene touched down in a vast training area. A peculiar complex of buildings stood before them, and in the distance, a massive waterfall cascaded into a serene pool. It felt like a place designed for intense physical and mental training.
Selene addressed her pupils, her voice filled with anticipation. "Seraphine and Kai, this is where your real training begins."
The icy winds whispered secrets of growth and strength, and the waters of the waterfall seemed to hold ancient wisdom. The journey to harness their ki powers was about to enter a new, challenging phase.
