Chapter 60

Alice

The night had come in too much of a hurry, so we had prepared some huts outside for the siblings to stay in because Bianca had not agreed to be away from Teo. In a way, I understood her, but her cousins did decide, and they were very emphatic, to stay in the other sorceresses' quarters because they wanted to learn as much as they could about the culture and powers of the sorceresses.

That fascinated the matriarch, so she didn't hesitate to give them personalized training, something that was really hard to do. According to her, the twins had a base to learn from; they were not neophytes like me and would have an exponential growth of their skills in days.

That made me feel a little silly until Val approached me.

"Was it you who diverted the river weeks ago?" asked Val, and I frowned, then she smiled. "Only a primary sorceress would do that, so don't belittle how far you've come. It would take fifty of ours to do what you did. So me being you, I'd be proud of my advancements."
