NARA
‘You need to concentrate, Nara. You’re overthinking it.’
I squeeze my eyes shut, then open them and turn to face Gus, who is
standing a few metres away from me in the Aerian training fields. He has
his arms crossed over his chest as he analyses my stance, sensing how
discouraged I am that I don’t seem to possess any source of power, despite
what I thought after we found out three months ago that I was the
reincarnation of Solaris.

‘I’m starting to believe I am no Solaris,’ I huff, flexing my gloved hands
in front of me as if that will conjure up my power, or at least summon an
animal like I have done in the past.
Gus cocks his head to the side and smiles through his thick beard. ‘And
yet only yesterday you were grinning at the fact you beat a shifter – one
who has never trained in combat before – in a sword fight.’ My silence
makes him breathe out a sigh. ‘Have you considered that perhaps you do
not want to accept this change?’
I shrug, even though I know he is not entirely wrong. Changing means
that I am no longer who I once was. It’s too much pressure, too much of a
burden, to see others place their hopes in me.
Flames charge through the winter air as a few phoenixes fly towards us,
stopping me from entering another self-doubting conversation with Gus. As
they land, I realise my brothers and Link are atop them. Having the Aerian
headquarters be airborne on floating landmarks meant you had to travel
within Aeris by riding with phoenixes or dragons, many of which Gus had
managed to save.
Illias is the first to jump off a phoenix’s back as its gold- and scarletfeathered tail thrashes against the grass. Illias then jogs over to me, his arms
out, and squeezes me into an embrace, and I chuckle, rocking us back and
forth on our toes. ‘How is training coming along?’ he asks.
I open my mouth, but Gus answers before I do. ‘She is getting there. She
has the fighting down thanks to her time as a Trapper and Venator trainee,
but in terms of power, she just needs to stop doubting herself.’
Offence takes refuge in my chest. ‘That is not—’
‘Give her time, Gus,’ Idris cuts in, his hands in his trouser pockets. ‘It
was only a year ago she was still trapping pixies and carving flowers out of
wood for a living.’
‘Not to mention falling for a shifter.’ Illias chuckles and shakes his head
as he steps away from me. It seems I have no say in this matter. Everyone is
speaking for me.
