Descendants

After Transfiguration ends, I take off to go training with Professor Florentino. He seems quieter than normal, but given the stress of the day I don't think much of it. Florentino spends time on showing me defensive moves to make sure that I have that side down before working on my attacks. During each demonstration, he comes at me hard but manages to never hurt me. I never saw myself as a fighter before, but I also wasn't battling for survival at the time. With the clock ticking down and my future under threat, I have changed in more ways than one. In ways I did not expect.

And I do not regret it.

Exploring the physical and pushing both my body and abilities past their limitations have proven to be a struggle, but one that I will not back down from. There is so much to learn and I have more potential than I could have known.
