Chapter: Awakening of Power and New Allies
Three days had passed since Mia's powers and fighting techniques had blossomed. She had honed her skills in harnessing dream energy and now stood at a new level of mastery. During this time, she had made several friends who shared her journey.
Harper, a frost element, possessed a calm and quiet personality. She remained level-headed and composed even in the most stressful situations. Reliable and trustworthy, she had an empathetic nature, understanding and sharing the feelings of others.
Hazel, a nature element, and Stella, a lightning element, also became Mia's friends. They each brought their unique abilities and strengths to the group. Additionally, Nathan, a flame element, joined them. He was kind, determined, and always ready to protect others. Mia had even managed to smooth things over with Zoey, but she couldn't make any headway with Nia.
One day, Aurora approached Nia and instructed her to follow. They embarked on a walk, and Nia curiously asked where they were going. Aurora assured her that she would soon find out. After an hour of walking, they arrived at a village called Zaniamya.
In the village, Nia saw a white figure in an all-white suit. Aurora introduced her as Amani, her best and most trusted friend. Nia found herself looking back, only to discover that Aurora had vanished.
Confused, Nia muttered, "Why did she just leave me here? Hmm, she was right about me. I am an impatient one, huh?"
Amani approached Nia and said, "I'll teach you my way, but you have to remain calm. I understand that things may not be going as planned, but that's no reason to give up. Everything happens at the right time, and this is the right time for you."
"Come, walk with me," Amani said as the people in her village greeted her warmly. They welcomed Nia as well. Amani led Nia to a remote location outside the village.
There, Amani created several signs in the air and performed a hand gesture, summoning butterflies around Nia. The presence of the butterflies helped Nia calm down. Amani instructed Nia to sit in a crisscross butterfly position and open up to her.
Nia poured her heart out, expressing her jealousy toward her sister's powers and her frustration at receiving what she believed to be the worst blessing. She simply wanted to be with her sister.
Amani listened attentively and thanked Nia for sharing her feelings. She revealed to Nia that she could see the energy within her body. Amani asked Nia to close her eyes as they assumed a meditative position, sitting in silence for ten minutes.
Afterward, they stood up, and Amani extended her hand to Nia. Over the course of four days, Amani trained Nia, teaching her how to infuse spiritual energy into her attacks and absorb the pain and energy from enemy strikes to fuel her own. She also taught Nia how to temporarily copy others' abilities.

Amani emphasized the importance of patience, teaching Nia to wait for the enemy's strikes and to feel the energy flowing through her body and mind. She imparted the sixth sense, urging Nia to always be prepared for surprise attacks and to expect the unexpected.
Amani explained the five spiritual components—faith, effort, mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom—stating that utilizing all of them would lead Nia to great heights.
On the fifth day, Nia learned fluid counter and defense moves from Amani. Cassandra, another instructor, joined in, teaching Nia offensive techniques. Cassandra remarked that Nia had changed since their last encounter.
As night fell, Amani informed Nia that she was almost ready and that it was time to put her training to the test. Nia asked if she had to fight Amani, but Amani replied, "I'm not the one you need to fight, but she is."
In an instant, Nia found herself struck with incredible force, crashing into a mountain and being dragged up its surface. She was then thrown against a wall, landing within a circular arena. Blood trickled from her head as she rose to her feet. "what the hell, what is this" nia yells
"its a test" aria tells her
A blond-haired woman radiating sun energy stood before her, wielding a sword. Nia sensed the woman's aura and instantly recognized her power. A flashback from Amani's training echoed in Nia's mind, reminding her that she could conceal her own aura and detect the power of others.
aria thought, "Let's see what you've got."
The woman, Aria, darted around Nia, launching a relentless assault. Nia struggled to predict her movements. Aria punched Nia repeatedly, overwhelming her. Nia managed to counter some attacks but was ultimately kicked into the arena wall.
Regaining her composure, Nia calmed herself and activated her spiritual energy. She converted it into a protective aurathat surrounded her body. With newfound confidence, she faced Aria once again.
Using her enhanced senses, Nia anticipated Aria's attacks, dodging and countering with precision. The two engaged in a fierce battle, their powers clashing and filling the arena with bursts of energy.
Nia utilized her copied abilities, momentarily adopting Aria's sun energy and enhancing her own attacks. Aria, impressed by Nia's adaptability, increased her intensity, pushing Nia to her limits.
As the battle raged on, Nia tapped into her inner strength, channeling the teachings of Amani and Cassandra. She combined her spiritual energy with her newly honed combat skills, unleashing a devastating counterattack.
With a final burst of power, Nia delivered a powerful blow that sent Aria crashing to the ground. The arena fell silent as Nia stood victorious, her aura pulsating with energy.
Aria, though defeated, smiled and extended her hand to Nia. "You've proven yourself," she said. "You are strong, and your journey is just beginning."
Nia accepted Aria's hand, feeling a newfound respect between them. Aria explained that she had been sent by Aurora to test Nia's abilities and determination. Nia realized that Aurora's disappearance during their walk was intentional, designed to lead her to this pivotal moment.
As Nia left the arena, she found Amani waiting for her, her eyes gleaming with pride. "You have surpassed my expectations," Amani said. "Your journey has only just begun, and I will continue to guide you along the way."
Nia thanked Amani for her training and support, feeling a deep sense of gratitude for the lessons she had learned. She knew that she had awakened her true potential and that she had gained new allies in Amani, Cassandra, and Aria.
With her newfound strength and allies by her side, Nia was ready to face the challenges that lay ahead. She would continue her journey, embracing her unique abilities and unlocking the full extent of her power.
