Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 126 Peppermint Candy

Niall and Hayden spent their days at the inn drinking tea, feeding the eagles, and making them fly.

Zeus's calls could be heard in the sky above the training grounds every day.

On the third day, a group of people arrived and hurriedly approached the girl beside Violeta anxiously. "Ms. Reid, We finally found you! Mr. Reid had prohibited you from taming eagles, why did you sneak off to do it? Please go home with us!"

The girl exclaimed, "Go away!"

"Ms. Reid, please come with us..."

"I've held out for so long. If you dare to stop me, I'll deal with each of you when I return!"

All of them remained silent at her threats.

They stood in a row beside her like a wall.

At first, they stood neatly in a line, but later they couldn't hold out and went to fetch stools to sit on. They had even brought food that smelled nice.

Soon, several falconers in the area were distracted by them and declared that they failed to tame their eagles.

The girl was on the verge of breaking down, but she struggled to maintain her focus.

She shouted, "Get lost!"

Startled, they could only bring their food to eat in another area.

After they left, the girl touched her stomach and muttered softly, "D*mn, now I'm really hungry."

Hearing this, Violeta reached into her pocket and offered the girl a peppermint candy.

"Candy?"

The girl hesitated for a moment. She reached out to Violeta while keeping her eyes on the eagle.

"What flavour is it? I hate mango."

"Peppermint."

"Yeah, I'll take it."

She unwrapped the candy and popped it into her mouth. The mint refreshed her mind, making her feel less tired.

After eating the candy, the girl introduced herself, "I'm Sophia."

"Violeta."

After exchanging names, Sophia seemed to become more talkative.

"Ah, it's great to finally have someone to talk to. I was about to die of boredom. It was worth it to ride a horse all the way here."

Violeta leaned back in her chair while keeping her eyes on Hera. She wanted to conserve energy by talking less.

Sophia stopped talking after Violeta didn't respond to her.

Time passed quickly, and two more days went by.

Only a dozen of falconers were still holding on.

Violeta and Sophia persevered by sucking on peppermint candies.

Violeta had the experience of not sleeping for several days. As her body reached its limit, she began to see snowflakes.

An old man with white hair appeared before her eyes.

In her previous life, when Violeta was oppressed by Zelena in the entertainment industry, she was forced to take minor roles and extras. She became a stunt double when she was driven to desperation.

Violeta met a senior stunt double on set who introduced her to training martial arts on a mountain.

At that time, a martial arts master was taking disciples, and Violeta went to learn from him.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Initially, he didn't accept Violeta because she was already too old to start learning martial arts. But Violeta's determination moved him.

During the winter, she stubbornly stayed outside in the chicken coop in exchange for a chance to learn martial arts.

Violeta was very pessimistic then.

She couldn't get any roles on set and

was often hungry. Her relationship with her parents had hit rock bottom. If she couldn't become a Souble, she even considered staying in the mountains forever.

With her do-or-die attitude, she almost froze to death in the heavy snow before the martial arts master appeared before her.

After that, Violeta stayed on the mountain and learned martial arts from the Master.

However, since Violeta had missed the best age to learn martial arts, she couldn't master it fully. The aster could only teach her some tricks to patch her skills.

She managed to become competent enough to not embarrass the Master when she left the mountains.

Her horse-taming skills weren't limited to horses. They worked on most animals but only for a short time. This was one of the tricks the Master had taught her.

Although her martial arts skills weren't perfect, it was enough for her to be a stunt double. Moreover, Violeta had many little tricks.

During her years as a stunt double, Violeta gained a lot of experience.

She had handled all kinds of weapons and learned many moves with the price of being injured.

In her previous life, Violeta didn't have anyone to help her except for the Master.

He changed the course of her life.
