The training with Mystica was drawing to a close. While Mystica herself was preoccupied with other matters, Sheila, Liam, Dylan, and Ariana had each absorbed the lessons she had imparted to them in their own ways.
Ariana and Dylan mostly trained together, having spent the longest time under Mystica's guidance. They shared insights and worked in sync, their bond growing even stronger.
Sheila, on the other hand, preferred to spend most of her time immersed in the book Mystica had given her, pouring over its contents in search of new spells and techniques. Occasionally, she would join them in their sessions, though she was more focused on learning than on sparring.
In the weeks that passed, Sheila underwent a subtle yet noticeable transformation. It wasn't a drastic change, but it was evident to those who knew her well. Since her heart-to-heart conversation with Liam, Sheila had made a quiet effort to reconnect with the kinder, more innocent side of herself.
