She stood in the middle of the training room, a space that felt overwhelmingly vast, the stone walls towering around her, giving off a sense of both intimidation and grandeur.
The high ceilings amplified every sound, the echoes of her footsteps bouncing back at her, reminding her of the vastness and the weight of the challenge that lay ahead.

Her heart raced at the thought of proving herself, of stepping up where she had stumbled before.
In her mind, insecurities flickered like shadows. 'I wonder if I can do it?'
