Just a test

I am currently hiding in a huge tree, sitting and catching my breath. I must divert the Grootslang elsewhere, it will eventually find me soon. As hard as I could, I threw the broken bow in a different direction.

I swiftly ran in a different direction after hearing the Grootslang head in the direction where I had thrown the bow.

"Nice thinking, but move faster because it will soon figure out that it was just a bow. This time, we'll do our plan again, so don't screw it up."

I nodded at the voice, "And after this, we need to talk about you, yes? "

It's strange having her speak inside me, even though I appear to be okay with her. I'm curious as to what or who she is, and how she is able to communicate with me. I'm puzzled and horrified, but I have to pay attention to that creature first.

"Tsk, fine."

-FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER-

"Release it!"

As soon as the Grootslang opened its mouth, I let go of the Ice arrow from the Ice bow, and it flew straight into its mouth. Finally!

I exhale heavily after hitting the Grootslang with my arrow. Now that it's finished, I can't wait to get into my bed and sleep all day. This is so exhausting.

"Say spread" Suddenly, the voice said.

"Huh? Why?" I questioned, confused, and then Grootslang abruptly moved around the area.

Oh hell, it's still not done?!

"SAY IT!"

"SPREAD!" I screamed, and then I saw how the ice spread from the Grootslang's mouth to its entire body, freezing it.

"Wicked," I whispered as I jumped down from the massive tree where I had been patiently waiting for the Grootslang.

Just as I was about to walk towards the Grootslang, a blinding light flashed when it gradually cracked all of a sudden. Then, like a flash, it broke into fragments and slowly vanished into thin air.

I was still overwhelmed by what had just happened when someone clapped from behind me so I turned to see who it was.

"Mr. Edwards?" I squint my eyes

Mr. Edwards continues to clap as he approaches me, with a smile on his face. Behind him, Mr. Amado and my Father show up.

"What is happening?" I asked them

Why are they here? Damn, I'm so confused.

"I have faith in your ability to defeat the Grootslang, but you go beyond what I expected. You did it in the most brilliant and stunning way possible." Mr. Edwards looks so proud as he speaks.

"Hang on, you were watching me ALL THIS TIME?!" and they all nodded, my eyes widen in disbelief.

I was literally fighting for my life and was on the verge of dying and they were just watching me?!

"Then why did you not help me? I thought I was going to die tonight." I expressed my disbelief to them.

"It's because you're being tested, My Child." My father said and handed me a bottle of water, which I immediately took and drank.

"I could've died," I blurted after drinking.

"But you didn't," Mr. Edwards said, "Also If we see that you are truly incapable of defeating it, your father and Mr. Amado will come to rescue you," he added, and I just sighed.

"However, how were you able to use your gift to create an ice bow and arrow?" He asked

My father looked at me puzzled before he began to speak "Right, I thought you still don't know how to release your gift?"

-FLASHBACK-

"Climb a tree" the voice commanded which made my eyes widen while running.

"Do not be absurd; I have never climbed a tree and have no idea how to do it," I said

"You'll never learn how to if you don't try. Now go and climb a tree where we can easily spot the Grootslang"

I sighed and did what she told me, I searched the area and spotted a tree that is not very hidden. Unlike other trees, which are tall and thin, this tree is big and not really tall.

I lifted my dress up to my knees and positioned my foot on the tree. I hauled myself up by clinging to the tree's large branches. Surprisingly, I manage to climb the tree without even sweating.

Two months of training have definitely changed my physical strength, I'm so happy!

"Tsk, see?"

I simply grinned at her and stood up while maintaining my balance in the tree. I remember all of a sudden that I just have arrows with me and no bow. Oh oh...

"How will I shoot him if I don't have a bow?"

"Make one,"

I furrowed my brows at what she said, "What? I don't have the materials to make one." I said, anxiously.

"Yes, but you have the gift to create one"

"My gift? How?"

"Use your Ice power to create a bow, concentrate on picturing a bow in your mind with your hands facing but apart from one another."

I did what she told me again, I closed my eyes and visualized an ice bow. I opened my eyes because it feels like something was slipping from my hand. My eyes widen as I watch the bow slowly formed by the ice coming from my hands.

"This is...unbelievable," I whispered

"Focus,"

I rolled my eyes and clicked my tongue in annoyance as I continued to visualize the bow until it was finished. I was alerted when I heard rustling coming in my direction.

I took one arrow and clipped it through the bowstring, and just like before, the arrow turned into an Ice arrow.

"Its here,"

The Grootslang went ballistic as it moved toward me. I lifted the bow and aim it at its mouth.

"Release it!"

-END OF FLASHBACK-

"Nyra? Are you listening?"

I blinked twice and looked at Mr. Edwards, " I'm sorry, I got distracted; could you repeat the question."

"How were you able to use your gift to create an ice bow and arrow? I thought you don't know how to use it yet?" Mr. Edward asked

Should I tell them about the girl who talks to me in my head and assist me? However, they might then assume that I am a retard.

"I'm also unsure of how I did it; it happened very fast." I lied

Despite their obvious confusion, they just nodded and did not ask any questions.

My father tapped my shoulder, "Let's go home, you need to clean up and rest." he said

THAT WAS PROBABLY THE BEST THING I HEARD TODAY!
