Serena's POV
"I don't want it anymore!" I yelled.
"That was just your third try Serena." Aya said laughing at me.
"Seventh try, Aya." I corrected her.
We are here at Cassopeia's training ground. I didn't know there's a training ground. Then I should have came here instead and maybe I didn't destroyed the trees around the Mystic Forest. Hmp.
"You should be the one to control the magic Serena not the other way around." Aya lectured me yet again.
She's telling me that again and again but I don't know how. We told her about what happened earlier after I left the office of Miss Scarlet and she suggested to teach me on how to control the earth element.
"It's very complicated to control the earth element compared to the other elements." I said sulking at the ground.
I was trying to control the stones but the trees are the one moving instead. I'm getting irritated. Compared to other elements like the air, it was so easy. You will just learn how to summon air blades or air balls. Just like that.
"You're giving up already?" Aya took a seat beside me. "You know, magic happens when you don't give up, even though you want to. You should give it a shot before you give up entirely." she said smiling at me.
I pouted at her. "Why are you so good at encouraging others?"
She laughed. "Ofcourse, I mean it's me."
I scoffed at her and stood up. She's right, let's give it a shot before we give up entirely.
I concentrated as she instructed me earlier. I flick my hands and slowly the small stones are being lifted from the ground. Aya had put a pot a meters away from us where I should put the stones that I am controlling. But sadly this past hour, the stones were scattered everywhere because I can't control it perfectly.
And finally, after millions of try the stones reached the pot, perfectly.
"See! You can do it." Aya beemed with so much happiness while jumping. I giggled.
And then I repeated controlling them again. From small stones to the bigger ones. And after a one good hour, I can finally control them and they're not going anywhere now.
"Take a rest first Serena. See, you now enjoy making the stones and the plants move." Aya said laughing.
"Yeah right." I said happily as I took a sit beside her.
"Right, I didn't saw Jas and Max today. Did they go somewhere?" I ask as I drink from my water bottle.
"Not sure but from what I heard, Miss Scarlet called them. I'm sure she let them do something for her." Aya answered.
I nodded. So that's the reason why I didn't saw them. While Calla went back in our room when Aya started training me because she's very sleepy. Then I suddenly remembered Jester.
"How about Jester? Why didn't I see him ever since this morning?" I ask again.
Aya was about to answer when someone whispered behind my ear.
"I'm here. Why, you miss me?"
I immediately jump in surprise. When I turned around, Jester was behind me smiling.
"Yah! Why do you always shook the hell out of me?!" I ask him while I was clutching my chest.
Gosh. If there's a chance, in those many situations where he just pop out of nowhere, I might die in shock, geez.
"My apologies." He said laughing while taking a sit beside me.
"Since Jester is here, I'll leave you two." Aya said. And before I could answer, she went out of the training ground.
"You are so good earlier." Jester said smiling.
I look at him and as usual he's always good looking. I don't think he experienced being ugly his whole life.
"Not that good actually. We are here for almost 6 hours already. You didn't know how many times did Aya scold me." I answered as I laugh.
I almost hit her a lot of times but it's a good thing she was also an earth element user that she's able to stop it.
"Atleast you made it." he said. "During our times, we trained for almost half a day."
"Really?" I ask surprised. Then he nodded.
"Are you guys together for a long time already?" I ask him.
"Yes. We were actually childhood friends." He look at me and smiled. He really had that bright gorgeous smile.
"Actually, Max is my only friend but because Aya, Jas and Calla always comes with us during missions, we then become close friends." He shared.
That made me smile. That explains why  they were so close.
"That is why you guys are close to each other." I said.
"You can say that." He look at me. "Do you want me to tour you around? I know you didn't saw the entire Cassopeia."
I automatically smiled.
"I would love that." I said excitedly.
"Come on." He stood up, stretching his hands to me. I reached it as he help me to stand on my feet.
When we are outside the training ground, we stood outside. I look at him.
"So, where do we start?" I ask.
I know there's a lot of places to visit here in Cassopeia. I said I'll tour around when Mom first brought me here but because I am busy this past days, I totally forgot about it.
"We'll start here." He answered.
"Let's go." I said.
I started walking but I stopped when I noticed he isn't moving in his spot.
"Come on Jester. Why aren't you moving?"
"Were not going to walk Serena."
My brows turned into a knot. I return back to where he is standing.
"So, we'll ride then?" I ask. I really thought we're going to walk since I never saw any vehicle here.
"Nope." He answered. "By any chance, are you afraid of heights?"
I shake my head. "I don't think so." I look around. "So, where will we ride then?"
"Were not going to ride," then he smiled at me. "We will fly." he casually said.
"HUH?" I ask, shocked.
Fly? As in fly in the air? Did I hear it right?
"Yes. We will fly, honey." he said.
And before I could react, I screamed as he holds me in my waist and up we fly in the air.
