First seven-year period

It has been almost two years since Amos' last visit, he did not come back even though he said he would. After his previous visit everything went normally, just time following his pace day by day. I continued training normally, it's what I had to do after that. The good thing is that I already have a goal, an objective, which is very necessary to accomplish what I want, but I would like to have practiced other times with him. In the beginning, training magic was something I just did because I wanted to see what I was capable of and have fun with it, but now I feel I can use it for better purposes. Things are different here and acting like a child is tiring, but also enjoyable. I wonder where this road will take me.

And here I am, almost two years later.

"That's it?"

"You've gotten so cocky."

I smile at Asara as I stop her spell with the palm of my hand.

"You helped with that, so take responsibility," I reply with a touch of haughtiness.

As the last two years passed the training with Asara intensified, everything I had learned we took to a second or third level: from new spells to enhancing my control of magic. The spells that I had mastered to a certain degree I took to a new level, my control over them is perfect and I also increased their power, that is, the fire power, their potency, increased. Previously I could not cause damage to Amos, or break through his mana barrier, but now I think I can do it and even more.

"We'll leave it here for today, I'm dead," Asara says with bated breath as she drops to the ground.

"Today was a good workout, I hope tomorrow's will be even better."

"You know I have nothing more to teach you, we're just perfecting what you've already perfected, basically we're not moving forward," Asara says as she takes a seat. "What I mean is that it's time to take the next step."

"I know, I was just a little anxious and wanted to spend these last few days as much time with you as possible, I know you're leaving tomorrow," I say as my voice gets weaker with every word out of my mouth.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I was called away unexpectedly. His Majesty requires my services and I cannot and would not refuse. I have been gone too long, it is time for me to return," Asara says, then stands up and walks in my direction. "This time I enjoyed it quite a bit, I really enjoyed it. I even stayed longer than I should have, but it's nice and warm here; I didn't want to say goodbye so soon. Thanks for everything Lilith, thanks for everything Ray."

Warm arms cover me completely, this is a goodbye hug. I really hate them, but for some reason this one doesn't.

"Thank you Asara, we will miss you so much."

Mom appears from who knows where and jumps out at us with tears in her eyes.

"Mom, we're going down."

Now I find myself in the arms of the two women who made me who I am, two of the most important women in my life.

Today marks one month since Asara left, it's a shame it's my birthday and she can't be there, I hope she's doing well. One less person at home, but nothing has changed drastically, Rudd and Saraa are the same as always and mom is mom. I don't know how long it will be before we can meet again, I hope not long.
