Chapter 10

As the morning sunlight gently bathed the living room, Katherine found herself in quiet solitude. A subtle rustle of shadows heralded the mysterious arrival of Ka Sandra, an unexpected figure emerging to surprise Katherine. In her hands, Ka Sandra held a pendant — a protective charm against magical harm, infused with healing properties.

"I have bracelets for the others," Ka Sandra disclosed, revealing a collection of bracelets, each symbolizing the unique powers of their respective wearers. A clandestine air surrounded these gifts, as Ka Sandra underscored the importance of keeping their magical abilities hidden from prying eyes.

As Kristen, Courtney, and Niall made their entrance into the room, Katherine assumed the role of the crafty creator of the bracelets. Ka Sandra, like a phantom, vanished into the shadows, leaving behind an air of enigma.

Taking charge, Katherine distributed the bracelets, unraveling their protective qualities to the eager trio. Special bracelets were reserved for Thomas and Tierney, each one tailored to amplify their unique powers. As the bracelets adorned their wrists, a subtle yet palpable sense of unity enveloped the group.

Amidst their interactions, Thomas proposed a day of training, a collective effort to refine and enhance their powers and abilities. The prospect of such a focused endeavor ignited excitement within the group, anticipation swirling around the possibilities that lay ahead.

"In your dreams, Niall," Katherine teased, projecting confidence in their shared journey of growth and empowerment.

Gathering in the basement, the chosen training ground, they readied themselves for a day of rigorous exercises. Thomas, having mastered his powers, assumed the role of the guide, imparting his knowledge to the group, while Tierney directed her efforts toward refining their combat skills.

As the training commenced, Salena, ever attentive, distributed water bottles, emphasizing the importance of an uninterrupted session. The group, clad in determination, geared up for an intense day of honing their abilities, resolute in their commitment to fortify themselves against the challenges that awaited them beyond the confines of their sanctuary.
