"Last lesson of your training period, Zeref." Gramps smiled at , whacking my back. Our training period was really coming to an end.
I had co so far in terms of agility, mana malleability, confidence and strength in these couple of months. I couldn't deny my heart beat rising at the ntion of the training ending. I'd have to start a new year at school and the thought of the night I left still made feel sick. I would have to confront Malia and everyone.
"What are we doing today?" I queried as I followed him while he led through the trees and back towards our tent.
"Training your desire. All you have to do is stand in front of this magic lake and stare at the waterfall for a few hours while pouring all of your mana into your hands."
We stopped, standing in front of the lake. "What? I don't follow." I peered at him, confused.
"Okay, so levitate using your gravity magic and keep your left hand shrouded in ice while your right hand shrouded in fire."
I did as I was told, levitating 3ft into the air. I flicked my wrist and like claws, icicles extended from my fingertips rapidly, sharpening until the tip could cut through flesh. My right hand lit up with fla mana and I was ready to go.
"Now just… stare." he said, walking away. I gave him a confused look before following his peculiar instructions, staring at the waterfall flowing down in front of .
"And rember, stay focused!" he yelled from the distance as his footsteps faded.
This was the weirdest thing he had do by far, but nevertheless, I followed the instructions.

It had been half an hour and I was starting to feel confidence swell up inside . This was easy!
Suddenly, a flash of light zood across my line of vision. I should have never thought that. The flash stopped but another one zood underwater in the shape of a girl. I squinted my eyes, knowing the sirens were finally starting to acknowledge my presence.
"Jas Lance. My king! Forgive ." a crying voice echoed in the air but the voice was too familiar.
General Sanders?
Her voice was weak and sorrowful.
"Please forgive Jas! Please spare !" she scread, making my ears ring.
I knew she wasn't real. This was my last test. The test of my will and self-control. I kept my body stiff, keeping my focus on balancing my mana and staring ahead of .
NO!!!
Ignore the siren.
Ignore the siren.
Ignore th-
"My life is in your hands! Spare my King!" General Sanders ran out from behind the waterfall, her hair matted in blood as she kneeled in front of .
"Shush you ugly chaleon, reptile siren thingy." I jumbled out, not finding the right words to describe her with the amount of disgust I was feeling.
I inhaled and exhaled a few frustrated puffs of air, struggling to keep focus and not behead her. She still had that sa walk. That SA. FRICKING. WALK. The one that tempted to break all her bones and rip out her hips. I wanted to rip her into shreds, take chunks of her flesh and force feed it to her. That student's death will never leave my mory and when I do beco monarch, you can bet I'll find her and make her life worse than hell.
Her face twisted into a horrid pout making nearly throw up and gag out all my organs. She fell face first into the lagoon, her body stiff as a board when she hit the water.
My whole body relaxed at the ntal fight I was struggling to win after seeing such a strong desire I longed for. I braced myself, knowing it would get worse.
I looked up at the waterfall to see dad staring at with a goofy smile. The focus on my mana slipped but I held myself in control, fixing my posture as it circled in big whirls. Dad stared back at with his stubble beard. A few fresh wrinkle lines sat on his forehead but he still looked the sa.
"You have NO right to pose as my dad!" I glared with wide beaming eyes. My voice raised and the mana around vibrated. Tears welled at my waterline but I didn't falter the focus on my power.
These sirens were heartless creatures; fishing out your darkest desires and displaying them to you. Even the ones that'd hurt you the most.
The siren morphed into its original form, shrieking like a banshee. Dad's skin fell off like a strip of dried glue. It knew I wasn't going to enter the water and it was frustrated at my stubbornness. She jumped at but I didn't move. Her claws extended but when they reached inches away from my face, an invisible barrier bounced her back into the water, injuring her scaly skin.
"Hah! You tried!" I tried to entertain myself but my mind kept forcing to dwell on dad.
