Chapter 130

• Serene lounged in her cozy living room, cradling a mug of coffee as she engaged twin girls. "How do we understand balance? You always mention every magic has a cost, good or bad. Isn't there supposed to be a balance?" Ivy inquired. Serene leaned forward, her eyes thoughtful. She absently touched a withered plant on the table.
• "Let me share a story. It might not be entirely true, but it's connected to the essence of witches." She paused, sipping her coffee. "Balance is like the rhythm of nature. It's about drawing energy from the earth and then giving it back to the universe to keep things in harmony."
• Serene infused the plant with energy drawn from the earth, and suddenly, it burst into life again, blossoming before Ivy's eyes.
