Alvah went back and explained to Aeron that Zillah would take a break from training with him. Aeron would ask why but he knew Alvah was the kind to never give an answer to questions like this. And it looked like it was his decision for Zillah so he did not try to meddle but agreed.
Alvah also encouraged Aeron to also pick up training and not just training others. He indeed is the vanguard of Elysian so he needed to be tougher to lead the war. Which Aeron was in complaince to work on himself to get stronger.
By the time Zillah was done training. She appeared in the room to see Alvah asleep. She had not eaten through out the day and her muscles were so sore.
Before she got deep into thinking that would cause her different emotions, she brushed her face walking into the bathroom got herself clean and left the room.
She had not much appetite but was able to eat something nutritious. When she was done she went Into her old room. It was quite dusty and it had a lot of memories. She reminisced everything in her head and laughed a lot. Thinking of Alvah she immediately wanted to lay with him and he would shower kisses on her that would make her blush. But she felt a little different and stayed back instead.
She laid on the dusty bed covering herself tightly in her blanket and slept.
Soon it was morning and she prepared herself to go meet Ghazan. Her muscles hurt badly from all the workout Ghazan put her through.
Without eating breakfast she left. When she appeared in the cottage she saw Alvah speaking with Ghazan looking worried. Her presence made them both to turn around.
She did not looked appalled by their looks she moved a bit closer to Ghazan. " When does practice start?"
She did not say a word to Alvah but was rather really silent. Alvah looked at her in uttermost shock. Ghazan knew that this was between the both of them.
Alvah was furious that Zillah never returned last night because he did not see her. He confronted Ghazan who reported that Zillah left and that he had no idea where she went to if it wasn't Elysian.
Seeing Zillah now and she wasn't having any form of conversation with Alvah cleared the confusion.
Alvah walked over to her with a voice barely a whisper " Do you always have to find a reason for us to fight?" He looked annoyed but she said nothing. Eagerly waiting for a response which she wasn't giving he left.
" Greetings uncle Ghazan" she greeted him moving even closer to him. Ghazan didn't know what to do, maybe dismiss her or discuss the issue. He sighed at the situation and spoke.
" No workouts today, I want to teach you how to perceive and identify anyone's presence" his voice spoke with a hint of anger in it from the entire argument with Alvah.
Zillah heaved down slowly in relief that she wasn't going to move her sore body. " Alright".
He sat down with her. " I want you to meditate intensely, penetrate through the forces of nature and air". " You can say it is a special skill but it's mainly for the higher ranks. People like Alvah" he coughed saying his name while Zillah had no response.
He noticed this after a brief silence and continued. " I, your Empyreals and a few others I may not know can do this".
" This skill will help you know when your enemies are fastly approaching you from a very good distance".
" This skill is acquainted with sound, the difference is we discover chakra which is a lot faster and better than sound especially if your opponent is someone from Tartarus in a higher rank".
Zillah nodded listening carefully to Ghazan which he appreciated from her. " Take my hand" he held her hands gently closing her her. Slowly he was instilling his powers into her steadily so it would not harm her.
Doing this, he incited her to concentrate on any surrounding energy besides his. She frowned deeply for some minutes when Ghazan hit her with his finger and her eyes shot open with drops of sweat.
" It's never supposed to be that hard. Don't force it".
Using his fingers, he closed her eyes again hitting the center of her head. It felt like her mind sunk deeper within her. She felt out of breath and her head spun seriously.
Before she knew it she shouted "Alvah" which felt more like a threat. Ghazan smiled. She opened her eyes looking around, she searched because she knew she felt his energy and it's been long she ever felt him.
But it felt different. She had perceived him but it was hard to tell it was him because of his new found domain. She wondered if this was what Ghazan felt when he saw Alvah at first. She also had the strong feeling that she had broken her barricade.
She felt Soo light. Looking around she couldn't find him. She looked back at Ghazan he had a smile on his face. Then she looked around the trees, there she saw him seated on the branches.
Alvah did not hear her call his name but seeing her searching around and found him made him feel good considering what happened earlier in the morning.
She looked back at Ghazan. " Congratulations" he said with a soft clap. She chuckled. " Focus more on this during your free hours without me" which was never. The agreed training hours where morning till evening and the night was for her to rest. She had no free hours.
Alvah jumped down from the tree with a loud thud causing Zillah and Ghazan to look at him.
