The Truth
As soon as Polo and Saha left, Xenia continued with her training with Helena and Devas.
"I can't wait to watch the finals and see you soar for that crown, Xenia," Devas excitedly commented as he watched her call upon her wings, the new limbs coming out from her back with a practiced flick. Doing so was still a struggle for her, what with her still being unable to do it without wriggling, wincing, or crying out in pain, but at least she was able to do it consciously now.
Helena had already taught her the technique of how to properly call her wings, and that was exactly what the Princess was now doing right now. It was the only thing left for her to do since she didn't want to scare the Cordonians watching her by looking awkward and weird with her new limbs. She would have to maneuver her wings properly should she need them for the finals.
