Elena's P.O.V
The air crackled with tension as Rowana and I circled each other in the dimly lit training room. The echoes of our previous clashes lingered, the atmosphere thick with the promise of another intense confrontation. Sweat dripped down my forehead, my muscles aching from the exertion of our prolonged battle. The room felt smaller, and my breaths came in heavy gasps as I struggled to maintain my stance.

I gritted my teeth, determined not to show any signs of weakness. "Don't underestimate me, Rowana. I can still go on."
