Elysia sighed, deciding to cancel the rest of her training for the day. It was time to step outside and find out what was so urgent.
As she wiped the sweat from her brow, she walked out to find Emily already waiting for her. In Emily's hand was a tonic—a vibrant, shimmering drink that glimmered like liquid rubies in the light. The aroma was a mix of citrus and herbal notes, promising to replenish stamina and ease muscle pain. Elysia took the bottle and downed the contents in one swift motion, feeling the revitalizing warmth spread through her body. She handed the empty bottle back to Emily and casually inquired, "So what's so important that you had to interrupt me during a critical moment of my training?"
"My apologies," Emily replied, her expression turning serious. "There's a piece of news I couldn't wait to share with you. It's related to your half-brother."
