Chapter 48 - Nathan

“Alright. Let’s run through it again,” I say to Freya. I’d already gotten a new pot of dirt and a seed pushed inside of it for the Earth challenge. The hose to fill the pool, a pot of matured white-tufted dandelions, charcoal bricks, and an ingot of ore wait outside the door for each of their turns to be manipulated and changed.

“Are you fucking serious, Nate? We’ve done it four times already!” she whines.

“And we’re gonna do it a fifth. Let’s go. Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, and Metal. In that order,” I tell her.

She just stares at me incredulously, like I’m not speaking English. “Frey, you have to be able to use all of these spells on command, whatever order they say, whenever they say it. You have a start date for your trial, but that doesn’t mean that they plan on having you do them all at once. It could be back to back to back or there could be days in between. They could have you working with training the acolytes and then have you do all five trails at one time.
