Heila spent the next two days in deep study with Talauia and received a few lessons directly from Amahle as well. Both witches worked to build Heila's understanding of natural forces. The little bit of knowledge that Heila had gained from Zedya about sorcery helped her to shape her will and at least complete the simple exercises that she'd been given, even if she wasn't able to touch the energy of the earth to use true witchcraft.
"Now I understand why Madame Zedya spoke so highly of the lessons she received here," Heila said on the third evening since Ashlynn's departure. "You both see the slightest mistake with incredible detail. I feel like I've made more progress in two days than I did in two weeks before coming here."
