“STUPID ELEMENTALS AND THEIR stupid, sensitive feelings,” I
mumbled between pants for breath.
Beads of hot sweat slid down my skin, but an icy breeze swept over the
cold water of the canal beside me, and I shivered in the dying light. The sun
dipped below the Qaanir skyline, casting dark shadows over the edge of the
barracks platform and making my torturous run even more frustrating.
I stumbled over a hole in the packed sand under my feet and glared at
Skye’s blurry, blue-haired form. Apparently, calling the acting commander a
butthead was punishable by ten laps around the platform.
Usually, training with the new army recruits was my favorite part of the
day. Well, it was all of my day, every day. But no matter how hard I worked,
no matter how many hours I spent in the training yard, it never felt like
enough.

I made a promise to the Ancients after the siege, and I intended to keep it.
Qaanir was rebuilding and our army was learning quickly. But Valeria
would die. The suffering she’d caused and the lives she’d destroyed
One
demanded vengeance, and my hands itched to wrap around her throat and
take it.
She’d stolen so much from the four worlds. From me.
Cyrus had taken command of Qaanir’s new army and personally oversaw
their physical training while Felix, Skye, Shael, and Quillon’s head Cleric
handled the more magical aspects of training.
I’d lost much of my fitness since leaving the Order, but after just a couple
weeks of Cyrus’s ruthless coaching, my strength and endurance were
already the best they had ever been. As much as I hated to admit it, Cyrus’s
hard-ass attitude ended up being just what I needed to push myself. If only
to prove him wrong.
But today, Cyrus had other business to attend to. I’d expected him to put
me in charge. After all, I was the one most skilled with pointy things. But to
my horror, he’d pulled Skye from elemental magic lessons to oversee the
training of the fighters.
I rolled my eyes and almost lost my balance again.
The fact that Skye was selected over me was insulting enough, but the
power had gone straight to Skye’s head. And he wasn’t afraid of handing
out punishments. It was ironic that the only elemental in the four worlds
with healing magic was a raging sadist.
I pouted as I passed the sparring recruits, beating each other to a pulp
with bare hands and wooden weapons. I could have been the one knocking
the teeth out of a druid, but instead I was stuck on the sideline.
Skye caught my gaze and smiled. At this rate, the recruits would finish
before I completed my punishment. I pushed mana into my legs. The raw
mana buzzed through my muscles, and I picked up the pace. Just a few
more laps and I’d still have time to take out my frustration on an
unsuspecting recruit before bedtime.
