Zach, Nora, and Yanael finally caught up to Lexi outside the city. But rather than them catching up, it was more because she waited for them. She did not wait for them to catch their breaths, however.
"Have you been slacking on your training, O' great king of the world?" Lexi teased Zach as she walked through the city gates. The guards knew her appearance, and their hair color made it unnecessary to confirm their identities.
"I haven't trained a day in my life, sis." Zach still breathed heavily, but he was gradually getting it under control.
"If that was true, you wouldn't have made it to the city."
"That's just my raw, powerful, natural talent. As long as I try, I can do anything."
"Hmph." Lexi snorted like Zach had said something funny. "You're talking about something like talent in front of me?"
