"This is the place you guys had in mind?" the mage asked and Kyris nodded then he sighed.
"It's really cold," Adora said, smiling.
"Are you going to be alright?" Alix asked, and Adora glanced at him.
"Yes, I will be fine," she responded and he smiled, then took in the fresh air and his eyes began glowing bright red.
"This is great for endurance training, but be careful, one of you or all of you might catch a cold," Xemon cautioned.
"Don't worry, we came here before for training, we'll be fine," Kyris said.
"Xemon, keep an eye on them as well," Adora said and he smiled.
"I will," he replied.
"Guys, pair up and practice using your powers, test your skills but don't push it, we don't want an avalanche," Adora said. "Eliza and Sarah, you two practice with each other, using your swords."
"All right," Sarah replied as they began training together, and Adora stood up and went to Alix and Zavis.
"Train with Zack, Zavis," she said.
"All right," he replied, then went to Zack, who practiced sparring with Zavis because he needed to improve on that if he was going to fight and defend himself at the same time.
Olivia and Cameron trained together, and Kyris practiced using his powers under the supervision of his brother, and Ayden and Aerav practiced both using their powers and sparring with each other, as did Nina, Yan and Kyllan.
"How much more control do you have now that you have more access to your powers?" she inquired.
"Much more," he replied, and she smiled.
"Release some of your energy, I'd like to see something," she said, and he took a deep breath before his body began to glow a little red and she smiled.
'He's taken control of everything; I wonder if he'll be able to do the same when I open another gate later today,' she wondered.
"How much have you been training?" she asked.
"A lot, I used my powers to create new moves," he responded and she sighed.
"All right, your partner will be Kyris, and he will assist you in using your sword and new skills, but I don't want you guys to use any large-scale attacks, am I clear?" She asked, and they nodded, then she and Xemon, along with Ifrit, stepped aside while Kyris began training with Alix, and the wind became even colder due to the heavy snowfall beside the mountain.
"Would you like to put your abilities to the test, Ifrit?" Adora inquired, and he glanced at her before smiling.
"I can show you how powerful my flames are," he replied.
"Is it a good idea to do that on a snow mountain?" Xemon asked.
"Didn't think about it, so never mind, let it be," Adora replied, and he chuckled.
"We can put it to the test another time, we have time," Ifrit said and Adora agreed.
"Adora, we can't stay out here for too long either," Xemon said, and she sighed.
"I know, but let them endure a little longer," she replied, knowing the draconics were nearby and not wanting to involve them in anything that would threaten the little of them that remained.
More than two hours had passed since their training, and it was getting late.
"Let's call it a day, guys," she said as Aerav panted and smiled.
"I think we should, too, I am too tired to go any further," he replied, and she smiled.
"All right, I'll take you back to the castle," Xemon said as they all stood behind him and a green formation formed beneath their feet before they all vanished.
A little while after, they arrived in the hall of the castle and they smiled.
"The warmth feels great," Sarah said, and Ifrit chuckled.
"Thank you," they said and Xemon smiled at them.
"You're welcome, the sun has begun to set; I think you guys should rest tonight so you're not tired for tomorrow's trip, which will last a few days," Xemon replied, and they exchanged glances.
"You're right, we should get some rest," Alix said, and Kyris agreed.
"Well, that's a good decision; come have dinner with us, and then you guys can call it a night if you want," the queen replied as she approached them along with the king, and they looked at her and the king, who smiled.
"Adora, they're all staying over tonight so they don't have to travel in the morning; they can just leave with you from right here, is that okay?" Adora smiled when the king asked.
"Of course, that's fine; I was going to suggest it to them, but I'm glad they decided to stay without me having to say it to them," Adora replied, and the king breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come on kids, let's go have dinner," said the queen, and everyone present went to dine with the king and queen.
Adora sighed after they started eating and looked around at everyone talking and laughing.
'They're all so lively, if only we didn't have a problem to deal with, I don't want their smiles to fade, but I guess that's not up to us,' Adora reflected before pouring herself a glass of wine and drinking it.
"Where are you lost?" Alix asked when he noticed Adora was not paying any attention.
"Huh? Oh, I was just thinking about something," she responded and he sighed.
"Okay, just eat too, don't get lost like that, you might end up thinking about things you don't want to," he said, and she gave him a brief glance before smiling slightly.
"You are right about that Alix," she replied.
"I know that's why you should take it easy sometimes, I know whatever it is you have on your shoulders isn't easy, but it's best not to let it get the better of you, sometimes that won't turn out well, it can touch parts of you so hard that you might feel completely lost after with no way to return to, having a place to return to is nice, I have learned a lot recently, I'm just telling you," he said while lowering his heas as she stared at him then smiled.
