Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 127

As Violeta's memories ended, the sun set once more.

Some people gave up, while others succeeded and cheered joyfully.

Those who failed passed out on the grassland, and were carried away by the inn's staff.

The staff's casual remarks reached Violeta and Sophia.

"I don't understand why they are wearing themselves out trying to tame an eagle."

Violeta's bloodshot eyes lowered slightly.

"Hey, Violeta, can you hold on?"

"Yeah."

Sophia spoke softly as she propped her eyelids open with her fingers, "Then I can too. I must succeed in taming an eagle. Why are you so determined? Do you also want to become a great falconer?"

Violeta's gaze darkened.

She had no plans of becoming a falconer, she just didn't want to give up due to a mere eagle.

Six days had passed.

Niall was getting more worried about Violeta. He was pacing around the training area.

Sophia's men were also pacing anxiously.

Jasper and the others had succeeded on the fourth and fifth day.

Only three people remained on the grassland. Violeta, Sophia, and a young man.

Zoren had succeeded on the fourth day. After his success, he collapsed at the inn and slept for an entire day before waking up and gobbling up everything available.

He walked over leisurely. "Niall, is Violeta still holding on?"

"The girl next to her, who looks about her age, is also holding on. It's impressive."

Staying awake for several days and nights wasn't easy.

Zoren and the other men barely made it through. It was even more remarkable for a girl to do that.

Zoren admired Violeta's perseverance.

...

Finally, on the seventh day, a sharp cry pierced the quiet evening. The eagle in front of Sophia collapsed.

Sophia immediately jumped up from her chair with joy.

A few minutes later.

Screech!

Hera couldn't hold on any longer and finally collapsed.

Violeta immediately jolted up from her chair, but before she could celebrate, her vision went dark.

She stood up too quickly!
