3 Days To Prepare

I woke up the next morning and sit up on my bed. I yawn then stretch and turn my body so my feet can touch the cold tile floor beneath me. I stand up and go to the bathroom to freshen up. After freshening up, I turn off the light to the bathroom then walk out the bathroom to exit my room. I walk down the halls and noticed there was progress being made into fixing the castle.

"Good morning, Your Highness. Breakfast has been made accordingly. Please enjoy your breakfast." Victoria nodded at me.

"Thank you, Victoria." I smiled then walked to the dining room and sat down in my seat and prepared to begin eating my breakfast.

Victoria sat down in the seat to the left of me and began to review her clipboard and closed her eyes. I narrowed my eyes to look at her then swallowed what was in my mouth.

"Victoria? What's the matter?" I asked.

"We've received news that the Kingdom of Uphelia will be attacking in three days. I don't know if that will be enough time to prepare you for the battles to soon come ahead. If we don't get you ready by that time...I fear that Lunia will be conquered.." Victoria said and looked at me.

"I see..." I set my fork down then stood up. "Why don't we do some training then? We only have three days to prepare don't we? So we should get as much training done as possible. Be my training partner, Victoria."

"Wait really? You want me as your training partner?" Victoria asked.

"Yes. You are the most fit to train with me." I said.

Victoria nodded then stood up. We both walked out the dining room to go prepare for our training session. I put on my queen attire then looked at myself in the mirror.

"Zephyr...I'll be sure to crush you in battle when the day comes." I said then touched my lip, looking surprised. "What...did I just say that..?"

I shook my head then walked out of my room and walked towards the training area where Victoria was. I walked towards her and she looked back at me.

"You are here. Let us waste no time! First we must remaster the art of Aura Control. You must be able to harness your aura. Aura is our source of power. Aura can come from many things, willpower, the human heart, pure desire." Victoria said and walked towards the middle of the area then sat down. She sat with her legs crisscrossed.

I sat beside her in the same manner. Victoria closed her eyes and began to focus all her energy in the center of her body. I closed my eyes and focused as well. I was merely copying what she was doing. I opened my eyes and saw Victoria's pink and purple aura calmly flowing around her body. I looked at her in awe then tried again. I made sure to really focus.

~Flashback~

"Remember girls...whatever you put your mind to, you can absolutely do it! Don't let anyone stop you!" My dad said.

~Present Time~

'Father...although I am no longer with you...your teachings will always be with me in memory.' I thought to myself.

Victoria felt a slight spike in my power. I began to relax and slight aura began to develop around my body.

~Flashback~

"Huh, tips on how I made it through my life? Well, I can tell you I had a lot of willpower, patience, virtue, determination, and bravery." My mother smiled at me.

~Present Time~

'I may not be as patient as you are mom...and I may not be the most determined person or the bravest, but I will be brave and determined! I can't promise I'll be patient..' I thought to myself.

Victoria opened one eye and saw the aura she remembered from 3 years ago. Her eyes lightened up and she smiled happily. She watched my aura surge powerfully. I opened my eyes then they shined a bright gold. Victoria stood up and dusted herself off.

"Now you have that mastered, we can learn to summon weapons and use magic skills! Go ahead, try summoning Twilight's Bolt!" Victoria watched closely.

I stood up then held my hand out and closed my eyes. I concentrated and tried to imagine what Twilight's Bolt would look like. As I generated the image in my head, I summoned the bow and grabbed the handle of the bow. I opened my eyes and saw Victoria in shock.

"Stella is slowly coming back! Zephyr better watch out because Lunia will not fall to him!" Victoria smirked.

I looked at the bow then smiled a bit then looked at Victoria. She looked at me and smiled.

"What kind of fighter is Zephyr?" I asked.

"He's a close ranged fighter. For his size he's very quick." Victoria said. "Why?"

"I want to make a new Lunar Arm...A sword. If I want to become stronger, I need a weapon that'll make me stronger. A blade that'll crush my foes to the point of submission...no a blade that'll allow me to kill those who step in my way." I said and made my bow vanish.

"Oh! Well there is a blacksmith area where you can make it. I'll lead you there." Victoria nodded.

We left the training area then headed to the blacksmith area. There was materials on the ground awaiting for me to make my new Lunar Arm. Victoria waited outside for me to be done.

"The Kingdom of Uphelia are way in over their heads. They attack us when we weren't looking. Now we see you...we know what you're capable of..we will strike you down Zephyr." Victoria said and heard metal clanging and the sound of steam.

Within a few hours, my sword was completed. I held my sword in the sky. The twilight black colored blade with the moon shaped hilt shined as the light hit it.

"The Lunar Arm is complete. Say hello...to the Vesper Argentum!" I smirked and my eyes shined.
