When she could think straight again, Ledome found herself lying at the floor and Miss Morning Glory's worried face flowing in front of her. She had done something wrong again, hadn't she? Blushing a little, she felt embarrassment filling her head.
But upon hearing the words 'very well', her expression brightened up a little. So she had done everything right, but just overdone the whole process. That was a reasonable cause for her lying at the floor, she thought. She sighed in both relief and annoyance and replied:
"I'm alright. Thank you." Still she couldn't walk for a while and gladly accepted the food and help the faerie organized.
The next few brightenings she learned how to control her power and respect her limits. The remaining few spells she practiced with a more reasonable share of enthusiasm. They intrigued her, especially the message one since she thought that it could be useful as well as funny.
At their last brightening, when Miss Morning Glory claimed that the lessons were finished, she was speechless. It was real, she was able to use magic now! At that moment it seemed like a huge success to her - having gone so far and finally getting something back!
Beaming, she accepted a glass from Miss Morning Glory's liquor. Well, the beam faded as soon as she took the first sip. Since she had never tried champagne before, the taste was quite ... extraordinary. But this was a brightening of celebration, and she would enjoy it!
At the end of the brightening Ledome smiled at her instructor and thanked her for everything she had done.
"You have been a wonderful teacher, and I hope we'll meet again some brightening. Perhaps when I'll return for learning the next spells." Chuckling a bit, she left the small office.
