It odd hearing the Dark One, my master congratulate me. I didn't do anything worthy of being congratulated, but I felt a lightness in my chest and an odd sense of comfort.
I felt a smile come to my face. I didn't want her to see me, so instinctively, I turned away and tried to restrain my useless grin.
"Now then, we have the tools to begin your tutelage," she said. "Finish up your duties for tonight and go to bed early. We will start first thing tomorrow morning. Come meet me in the garden, bring those books with you," she said before teleporting away.
I felt excited for the first time in a long time.
I just hope I can meet her expectations.
For the rest of the day, I went about cleaning and cooking, finishing everything as soon as I could so I could turn in early for the night.
