The morning sun filtered through the crystal canopy, casting fractured beams across the forest floor. Sylvara rose early, her mind still humming with energy from the previous day's training. Lira had promised that today, she would attempt something bigger—something that would test her control over air and earth, with a touch of Spirit to harmonize them.
Lira gathered the team in a small clearing. "Today," she began, "Sylvara will guide the forest itself through a coordinated exercise. You'll see how elements respond when we let them work in concert under a focused mind."
Thalanir tilted his head, examining Sylvara. "This isn't easy. Most adults take years to reach this level."
Syla swallowed, nodding firmly. "I'll do my best."
