Chapter 505

• It took years, but I did it! Joy, dreams, purpose. I got it all back here. Seraphina welcomed me into her home as if I were family. She didn’t live in a palace; in fact, her house was very small and modest for a queen. With kindness and patience, she helped me overcome my traumas while teaching me how to use my powers.
• Seraphina was a witch with many talents, excelling in two in particular, medicine and painting. There were splendid paintings of hers all over the city, as well as on the walls of her own home. She usually preferred to simply sit in her room and create remedies for various ailments.
• I never stopped dancing, but I loved accompanying her in everything she did and learning from her. While she painted, I learned to paint with her, and while she manipulated herbs, I assisted her, wrote down her recipes, and memorized them.
