Chapter 3

Manda's POV

"Alright Lin, jut a twist of the wrist. Remember to feel your self as strong as the rock." Elphaba instructed Lin, as We all sat in the training court outside of the underground. Lin grunted, sweat running down her forehead over her marks as she tried everything in her to get the boulder to go up in the air and break into rocks but only to reform again before it hit the ground. But the boulder would not reform once she broke it.

"Urgh!, I'm sorry Elphie but earth just isn't my element…" She said with a tired sigh. Elphaba only chuckled and placed a hand on Lin's shoulder.

"Hey, your mother is the Witch of the North, Air. I think it would be even hard for the Witch of Emerald to have trouble with earth if her mother is air." This only made Lin smile softly and breathe out trying to slow her breathing. Glinda held little Lirr in her arms while Jen rocked Talley watching the training along with Meg, Luce and I.

"My My, what hard training we are having here." Dimitri said with a small laugh as Daniel and Daken followed behind them. The two had grown close to Dimitri, being of Uplands I guess they were just easier to get along with. Meg smirked and walked over to her husband.

"Yes, but you might want to be careful. You might get hurt." Dimitri only laughed wrapping his arm around Meg's waist. "Oh really, well shall we have a little challenge my love?" Meg nodded with a small hint of mischief in her eyes.

"I thought you would never ask."

"Oh no everyone clear. Its husband and wife fight." Lin joked as her and Elphaba walked over to us and Dimtir and Megan took the court. Dimitri quickly in a perfect stance with his sword, Meg's hand readied. For a few moments it was just silent, then.

"Begin!" Glinda shouted and the fight begun. Dimtiri coming at Megan full force with his sword but his strokes easily deflected by her water. The fight was actually neat to watch. The sun hitting Meg's water as the sword sliced through. It was like Dimtiri and her were doing a dance together.

"Manda, do you think that, that's how Mom and Dad used to be when I was young?" Luce whispered in my ear and I gave her a weak smile. She had been so curious about her father and her magic lately. I felt bad in a way.

To not know your family history, to not know your father..I don't see how Luce was making it the way she was.

"I don't know Luce, but I bet it was similar." I smirked and I saw her eyes light up. That was what I liked about Luce, even though things seemed bad she always had that sparkle of hope in her eyes. I just hoped that it would never be taken away.

I sighed and let a small fire com to my hands, I began to play with it. Seeing how easy or hard it was for me to control it. Each day I practice at least 3 hours with my new element. Learning its tricks and basics. I would make Nessa proud. I knew I could, I just had to try hard enough. Use my fire as a drive. As a will, to go one and fight this war with everyone.

'Ness would be proud Manda. I know it." Luce smiled and I returned it. I would always have her she was like my sister.

"Yield!" my attention went back to Meg and Dimtir's fight. Only to laugh to see they had both bested each other. Dimitri's flat side of his blade on the back of Meg's neck and a sharp piece of ice at his. Both laughed , even though they were out of breathe.

"Well, it would seem we have a tie my love." Dimtir smirked taking his blade away and pulled Megan close to him by her waist.

'Well, my knight, a tie is just fine with me if , it is with you." She smiled and kissed him softly.

'Its perfectly fine with me."

Talley's POV

I watched Lin and Daken walk down the halls of the underground.

"Maybe we should have a fight like that my angel." Daken whispered in her ear. Lin giggled and leaned against him as they went.

"I would like that love, I really would."

I swear being only 1 year old and can make your thoughts act like a teenager really had it pluses and it minus. I sighed heavily.

Why couldn't I just grow up already! My thoughts were interrupted when I saw a dark shadow heading right at Lin. I quickly got up and shot my magic at it giving it a taste of its own medicine. . To my shock the shadow look at me and gained shape. My eyes widened as Zandra walked toward me.

"Oh little Talley. Already to grow up an be a witch like your mother. To protect your little friend. " she grinned and looked at Lin.

" Your too late. She's mine," she hissed and I let my magic pinned her against te wall.

"You won't touch her. " but the next thing I knew her hand gripped my neck

"Don't bet on it. Your powers will be a nice addition too soon my dear." with that she vanished and my neck stung badly.

Little did I know the mark on my neck has now been added with a sickening Z just below it
