Keep going, keep pushing through but for how long will she last? She was nothing but an empty husk, left with nothing but shattered pride. Tired and slowly being driven to a point of exhaustion. Stuck in a stagnant space with her goals feeling like the unreachable stars up above the night sky.

She couldn't give up on them, she wouldn't let go but her determination and motivation were starting to burn out, leaving only a flickering flame threatening to go out with just one more blow of utter failure. It was a feeling that she's been denying ever since that day that things had gone wrong and everything after it is just there to continue chipping away with what pride she had left within as a duellist, as a witch, as an aspiring Auror. What she thought was improvement had been nothing but lies that she tricked herself into believing.

There was no such thing, the results of her duels says it all. She needs to get better faster, that was her only solution right now. This is the reason why she kept returning to the duelling club to continue what she had started but trying again after countless failures had never been this heavy and numbing. Despite the efforts that she does, they aren't being rewarded so what's the point of continuing right?

Thoughts were in her head, leaving her standing there in front of a practice dummy. Her wand pointed at it but no spell came out of her mouth. In the end, she wasn't feeling it. It has been like that for days now. The fire within was burning out fast along with the passing days leaving only a flickering ember threatening to go out with one more blow from failure. While she wanted to keep going to pursue her goals, a part of her wanted a break from all of these.

"Okay, get a hold of yourself." She whispered to try and give herself the energy to keep moving despite the emptiness that's been growing through all these years. "It's fine." Her grip on her wand tightened, closing her eyes as she took a deep breath. "Right." She looked at the training dummy before unleashing a powerful Flipendo towards it. This is the only way to go, endure it all. Things will be fine.

This is a semi-solo so it could stand on its own but if anyone that she knows wants to interact with her, feel free to send me an owl or reach me via discord.
