Grace hesitated and thought, what will happen if she takes my magic? Will I die? She decided that since her parents were either at sea enjoying their adventures or not able to return, this was her only chance to have a home. She accepted the witch’s challenge. She asked, “How am I supposed to cast a spell?” The witch told her that it was getting late and gave her and Windweaver a room in her cottage.
The next day, she gave Grace a wand to practice the spells in the grimoire. She could do a few common spells like a stunning charm, a lock-opening charm, and a disarming charm. The witch said that she only had two weeks. She was worried she could not make it to the deadline. But her nerves helped her with the magic. By the end of the day, she could do a few uncommon spells.
After two weeks, Grace mastered all the spells. She performed all of them gracefully in front of the witch. The witch was surprised and said, “I have never seen such magical talent. I could use someone like you as an apprentice.” Grace was happy that she found a place she could call home.
