Day two of my training and I thought this was easy. My father is teaching me how to do flips, -which I totally know how to do- but perfectly. No missteps, no slips, just a perfect silent flip.

You think I would get it in a few tries, lets say 51 tries. This is going to be my 52nd try and its only the middle of the day! Every time I messed up, i have to go back to the same damned rooftop just to do a simple combo front flip. Now I was getting irritated.

"Again," my father commanded.

"Father, how many times to I have to do this? We have been doing this all day,"

"Until you have properly land," he said. "I know this is hard on you, but until you have mastered it, you will have to keep doing it over and over."

I groan and cursed as I made my way back up in the building. As I got ready for my next try, my mother comes out. "I thought you both would be hungry, so I had made you two a treat." The smell of sweet bread flows through the air. I was coming down until my father glared at me.

"Until you are finished with your last flip," he said strictly. I glared at him and prepared myself for my flip.

Okay here I go!

I started sprinting and got ready to flip on the edge. The air pushing my hair back as I ran. Then, I jumped immediately curled into a ball as I turned forward. I released and was about to land. 'Don't slip, don't misstep'  I said to myself. Seconds felt like minutes until my feet touched the ground. I was happy that I didn't slip, however my left foot was in front.

I missed stepped

"Ughh," I groaned as I cursed the building.' I couldn't believe how hard this was. I hated this! I would rather clean the whole house than to do this.'  I thought to myself. My mother looked at me and observed my technique of the flip.

"Blainia, I know why you can't properly land," My mother states. "Don't move," she commanded. I didn't move.

How can she know how to land? Is she an assassin too? No, that couldn't be possible, she can barely to a cartwheel and she couldn't dare think about it.

I then feel a sharp pain on my back. "Ow, mother!" I exclaimed rubbing my back. "Why did you smack me?!"

"Blainiana Blacksin, for the hundred time, stand up straight," my mother exclaimed. "I have told you day after day to stand up straight and now this is the reason why you can't land properly." I look at my father for support, however, he nodded in agreement.

'Traitor'  I said under my breathe.

"Do it again," my mother commanded. I obeyed and climbed on top of the building. I took several steps back for speed and got ready.

I ran up to the edge of the building and did the exact technique to flip and land, but standing up straight. Once I landed, I was perfectly straight. I look over to my mother and father approving my performance.

"Now are you going to stand up straight from now on?" My mother asks.

"Yes mother, thank you," I responded as I hugged her. "Can I now have some bread?" I asked childishly. My mother nodded and I ran to the basket before my father got the last piece.

"Now the next lesson with be about delusion, and hiding in the shadows." My father explained as I ate my bread. "We will go over that tomorrow," I nodded and jumped off of the building to the house.
Once I got in, I go straight to my room, took off my armor and jumped into bed. I was staring at the ceiling. '3 more days till the council can see, what I can
become.' I thought as I drifted to sleep.
