The training that Kayla is doing is similar to ty lees's chee blocking in Avatar the last airbender.
I stood in front of a punching bag. I quickly examined it… I hit a kink in the chain causing it to fall to the floor. Next I hit 5 specific spots on the punching bag causing it to explode.
"Sensei this is stupid… that's the 5th one that exploded. I'm ready to move on."
"If you are sure then come with me."
"I'm sure."
He left the room and returned a few minutes with a younger guard. "Ok Kayla hit the kinks in his armor then hit his pressure points."
I nodded. "Ok…"
I walked up to the guard and did what my teacher told me to. He began to fall so I caught him. "Teacher… how can I help him? I feel bad for injuring him just for training."
My teacher handed me a bottle with a red liquid inside. "One drop… that should be all you need."
I carried him to the nurse's room and placed him on a bed. I slowly removed his helmet… I had never seen any of my guards faces before… so it seemed weird. Hey! He's my age… hmm weird.
I put a drop of the medicine in his mouth. His eyes began to flutter… and when they finally opened, I could feel my whole face turn red.
"Queen Kayla… what are you doing here?" He asked kindly
"I felt bad for using you as a punching bag, Oh and call me Kayla."
"That's fine. Hey, are you ok… you're all red?"
I put my head down. "I-I'm f-fine." Why can't I speak?
I lifted my head back up to see him smiling at me. "You know you have a very unique eye color Kayla."
"I could say the same thing to you… uh… what's your name?"
"Jaden…"
"I love that name!" I smiled "and not just because it belongs to someone as cute as you…" I put my hand over my mouth. Did I seriously just say that out loud?
He looked shocked. "Um… Kayla?"
"I'm so sorry Jaden…"
He laughed "That's fine!"
"You're really kind."
"Thanks… That means a lot coming from you."
"Jaden would you like to take a walk with me?"
"Sure…"
Once we were outside, I asked him "Jaden, you eyes… They make me wonder… if…"
"Just say it! I-I'm sorry."
"Are you human?"
"Uh…"
"It's ok… I never told anyone… but I'm a wolf."
"I'm half human… my mom was human and my dad wasn't. I'm a basilisk… but I don't look like a snake with a chicken head. I have a common power of the basilisk though."
"Which is?"
He pushed his blonde hair out of his face, revealing his grey eyes. "I can kill people by just looking at them. I still have fangs and a snake tongue… and also reptile like eyes."
I gasped.
