Training

Time falling asleep was otherwise wasted if it wasn't in the pursuit of bettering herself. At least that's how she reasoned it. Really, she wasn't sure why she felt the compulsion to meditate. She knew it would help her in the long-run.

Odds were that whatever was causing this anomaly was strong. She wanted to be both mentally and physically prepared. The push-ups and crunches were the easy part. She knew that the difficult part was maintaining her mental fortitude. If she slipped up, there was no telling what could happen!

First, she let herself relax. Opening herself up was the first thing she needed to do. Since she was in an unfamiliar place, she needed to get a sense of the flow of magic in the town. It definitely had some, but it was faint or maybe altogether different.

She felt the magic flow into her. It warmed her body and filled her head with fog. It was as though she was high on a ****. Instantly, she closed herself off. "What the fuck?" Lily shot up in bed. She'd never felt anything like this before. The magic of the town was tainted. It would be dangerous to tap into if she needed to.

As much as she hated it, she would only be able to rely on her abilities in emergency situations. She couldn't risk losing herself every time she needed to do something. It was frustrating but it was part of the mission now. Right now, she decided to rest. She should try to meet with the mayor tomorrow and see if he knows anything. Odds were he was involved, so she'd have to be careful.
