Creative Assignment: Part VI

Chapter VI: Training

            Several months passed by and Tamara had learned the horrors of the world, but also accomplished incredible feats of strength, speed, endurance, and skill. Her training with the energy sword had also been far outclassed from her previous days. The sky was dark, as it had been since The Day. Tamara stood outside looking up into the grey sky as droplets of rain dripped from her face.

            “I never realized how beautiful it was.” Tamara said.

            “Sometimes we find beauty in the darkest of times.” The Faerie of the Wind replied.

            “Yeah, but… In just a few days I’ll be taking on these beasts… The ones you call ‘Elementals’. But you haven’t told me anything about them. Shouldn’t I know their weaknesses?” Tamara questioned, her eyes still starring into the cloudy sky above.

            “Knowing the weakness of our opponent won’t always be why makes you the victor.”

            “But it will most of the time…” Tamara replied, chuckling as she looked down at the beautiful fey.

            Without a verbal reaction, The Faerie of the Wind turned to face the young girl. She lifted her hands and chanted a few words in a foreign language. “Juis allor’a endei arta!”

            The world in an instant became brighter. The dark clouded receded overhead and the bright sun shined down upon the land, caressing Tamara with its warmth and creating a reaction of an even larger smile.

            “H-how did you do that?”

            “Sometimes… instead of knowing an enemy’s weakness. We simply outwit them at their own game.” The Faerie of the Wind winked.
