It was a cool, and breezy afternoon. The sun was perfect and everyone was happy. Everyone except Amity. While walking to her teacher's house, she felt all of her body's bruises ache and twinge, reminding her of what happened the night before. Her stomach and back were the worst places. It was practically almost broken. There were cuts in the bruises which stung. Her mother and father had been sure to not mess up her face, where it was more noticeable. Odalia had wanted to make sure Amity was "ready" for her training the next morning and made her stay up late at night, studying and practicing.

The walk there was coming close to an end. She took a deep steady breath before coming up to the house. 'Just don't stand out and she won't find out' she told herself. Odalia had made it very clear that no one can find out or else there will be serious consequences. She held up her shaking fist and rapped her knuckles on the front door. There was shuffling from behind and then the door opened, revealing her mentor.

"Hello, Amity, I hope you're prepared for today's lesson," Lilith led Amity inside and into the tutoring room. The tutoring room was in the basement where there was gym equipment, a big space for spells, and a couple of benches and desks in the corner for going over schoolwork and helping her educational studies.

"You won't be doing any physical activity today. You'll be practicing your new spells without the wand. I expect you will be able to do it," Lilith said.

Amity set her bag down against the wall and placed herself in the middle of the big space. To start off, they did a couple of old spells that she had almost mastered as a warm-up. But eventually, they moved onto spells she could barely do. The ones that required a training wand.

"Conjure an ice pillar." Lilith had commanded for her first unmastered spell.

Amity focused all of her energy into the creation of the pillar. The bruises on her casting arm ache more as ice sputtered out the ground. She managed to not show any sign of pain while the ice slowly emerged from the ground. Just when her hopes came up, the ice disappeared back into the floor. An angry, frustrated breath expelled out her mouth.

"Try again, I know you can do better," Lilith said, hovering high above her student.

Amity gulped from fear of disappointing her mentor and tried again, ignoring all of the exhaustion and pain. Her back hurt so much but she couldn't disappoint her mentor. She was the only one who cared about her well-being. Well, she didn't show it regularly but she would at least make sure that she was alright after a heavy fall, a bad hit, or if she seemed off. 

Amity tried her best, even if it felt like her upper back was going to break off or her organs were going to fall out of her stomach. Determined, she put all of her energy towards it and actually made the ice pillar. The pillar was about half the size of Amity but it was complete. However, she felt so… drained afterwards. She shook it off though. A Blight must never show weakness. Amity had not expected for Lilith to come up from behind and congratulate her. 

"Great job, Amity," she said. However, she brought up her hand and patted Amity's upper back. Pain shot through Amity's nervous system.

"Gah!" She yelped, doubling over in pain and moved her back away. Lilith quickly put her hand down.

Once Amity realized what she had just done, she slapped her hands to her mouth.

"You're injured," Lilith silently gasped, "Let me see it."
