The morning sun cast a gentle glow upon the snow-covered landscape outside the towering walls of the Cursed Castle. Annalise stood in the courtyard, her breath forming a misty cloud in the frigid air. Winter had settled in, but there was no respite for her. The rigorous training sessions continued without pause, pushing her to her limits.
It had snowed the whole day and night yesterday, so everything was covered in a thick layer of snow. Unfortunately, the castle was in no mood to present them all with another sunny day.
It was Ezra and Leela who had decided to train with her and since these two carried completely opposite elemental powers - fire and water respectively, the session was definitely going to be a challenge for Annalise.
Ezra, with his fiery eyes shining brightly in anticipation, and Leela, whose calm demeanor belied her control over water, stood beside Annalise. They were her companions, her allies, and her challenges.
