Helios's POV
I watched Valerie pace back and forth in her room, her mind racing with questions. I knew she was getting frustrated, and I couldn't blame her. But I also knew that she needed to be pushed, to be tested.
That's why I decided to take her to the battlefield. I knew she wasn't ready, that she was still weak and uncertain. But I couldn't wait any longer. I needed to start her training, and I needed to do it now.
"Valerie, come with me," I said, standing in the doorway.
She turned to me, a look of trepidation on her face. "Where are we going?"
"The battlefield," I replied, my voice firm.
She hesitated, but I could see the determination in her eyes. She knew she needed to do this.
As we walked to the battlefield, I could feel her anxiety growing. She was scared, and she had every right to be. But I knew she was strong, stronger than she thought.
