When Myosotis had finally come back from the medical wing Alice had finished half the food her sister had brought her and had dumped the other half in the bin. Her sister had probably poisoned it or something.

"Alice, we need to talk. If you continue with this, you're not going to pass. What's the problem? Why aren't you doing well?" Myosotis asked in her German accent.

"Why does there have to be a reason? Why can't I just be bad at it?" Alice questioned. It was obvious through her voice she was angry and annoyed but this didn't stop Myosotis from pressing her for answers.

"Look, I get that coming in here and being the youngest and being taught all these new things, being shown that the world isn't what you thought it was must be hard. It's a tough thing to get used to. Especially since you're probably going to be seeing things or passing places you would normally see or pass every day but it's so much more than you first thought. But you really need to step it up a notch. Or a lot of notches." Myosotis nodded and Alice rolled her eyes.

Typical. She wasn't doing well enough. Something she had heard every day of her life. She just expected to hear her older sister's name followed by something amazing she had done and...

"Valkyrie had taken on Faceless Ones, insane sorcerers, dark magical creatures, twisted theorists and so much more by your age."

...and there it was...

"What is it going to take to get you to want this? Valkyrie-" Myosotis began again but Alice stood up and stormed over to the test dummy.

"I'm not good at this stuff!" she roared and aimed her anger in a punch at the dummy's head, which promptly snapped back from the force. "And I'm not Valkyrie!" Alice slammed her flat palm against the air and sent the test dummy reeling across the room and crashing through a bunch of other equipment.

"That was great! Now all you need to do is channel that power into your fighting." Myosotis instructed her and Alice closed her eyes, taking deep breaths to calm her fury. She felt that something big was coming on. Then a sudden wave of pure hatred and anger and...evil, took over her magic and she felt something inside her take control of her movements. She spun around.

"I'M. NOT. VALKYRIE!" she repeated firmly, but her voice came out sounding like hundreds of her were speaking at the same time. Alice swung her arm and Myosotis was flung into the wall and cried out before lying still in a heap on the floor.

She waltzed out of the training centre with the intention to burn the Sanctuary down. As she was exiting the room, Alice didn't notice her reflection in the window showing her with luminous eyes and hair just as Ellion had described when she had stopped the storm. These people were really starting to annoy her.
