Dragging myself to training after a full day's work is more exhausting than ever.
Yet, I keep going, when I remember how helpless I was during the sudden attack…
I barely knew when the men got to me; it was wild that even with my super strength, I could not overpower them.
I realized that not training a skill can make it super useless.
So, I'm here again in this training chamber that smells faintly of iron and polished wood.
Adrian isn't here yet, but that doesn't matter, with the air cool against my skin carrying a stillness that made every shift of my body sound louder than it was.
I am ready for this.
My feet scraped across the floor as I swung, launching a strike that sliced through an imaginary opponent that I conjured in my mind.
The movements were fluid, precise, but I couldn't shake the sensation that I wasn't alone.
I froze mid-step.
