The next few days passed in a blur of training, rest, and moments of quiet reflection. Lumi found herself waking each morning to the cold winds of the Frost Mountains, her body gradually adjusting to the rigorous schedule of summoning the fire within her, balancing it with her natural affinity for ice.
