"Would you permit me to train you in what little ability I know?" Dessa said. Kiera was speechless. She didn't really expect her to help train her, but she did want to know how to do whatever Dessa did to Gurk back there, but Dessa was a complete stranger. If she did want to train her, then where? She still wanted to be with her parents and everyone else back at Easthaven, yet she still wanted to learn the magic Dessa was doing. Then, she finally decided on what to do. "Of course, but can I first say goodbye to my family first? I don't want them to think that something bad happened to me." Kiera finally said. She felt both excited and nervous, and for some reason, she felt like something big was going to happen.
