*As I lay on the cold, hard ground. I stare up at the sky, wondering why my life has come to this. I'm so tired. I'm spent, I feel dizzy, and I have a terrible headache. It was a terrible fight, but it's still training. I think I hear a voice calling my name.

I never want to train with her again. She keeps beating my ass... Especially when I don't use my powers, not like I can use them correctly anyways. Ambessa always beats me in training. She's always so cocky and annoying. But I'd rather it be her training me than anyone else.

We've been fighting together since we were little. She's been my best friend forever. And I have to admit that I've grown a bit of a crush on her. She's just so... Beautiful and tall. I love how good she is at fighting. And I have no doubt that one day she will be in the spot of a warlord. She deserves it, she's fought so hard. Maybe one day we could be together, but I doubt she likes me, she's so brave and strong and I'm so... Not. Even though my mother is very sick and elderly and my father is dead, my mom still finds the time to tease me about it. It's so irritating.

I've been laying here for a good six minutes, and call me dramatic, but I'm not getting up until she comes to get me. I love to be manhandled by her, it gets me going.

I feel myself being snatched up by my arms. A startled squeal escapes me as I come face to face with Ambessa. She scowls at me, annoyed with me. But I just smirk at her, I'm sure she gets the gist that I like her, but then again I doubt it because she is oblivious to someone liking her.
