Dear Diary,
I've been waiting for a day challenging or exciting enough to write about here, and I think I finally have the perfect story for today.
My witch and I were in the middle of practicing a new spell that was meant to create a shield of protection around us. However, things didn't go as planned, and the spell backfired, causing a bright explosion. The shield formed initially, but suddenly, before either of us could react, there was brilliant white light followed by sparks of electricity raining down on us. The explosion was not only unexpected but also caused a minor injury to my left leg; some sparks hit me, singing some of my furs and burning my skin. My witch was immediately worried and guilty about what had just happened. While frantically crying and apologizing, she used her magic to heal me gently and swiftly, but the experience left her just as shaken as me.
Despite the accident, my witch refused to give up. She was determined to find out what had gone wrong and how to fix it. She no longer allowed me to test it with her in case something else went wrong, but she spent hours researching and experimenting, going through all the spell's steps to identify the problem's source. She finally discovered a faulty ingredient in the spell, which had caused it to backfire; after going through multiple bumps, burns, and frizzy hair, Lillith claimed she had mastered a powerful shield spell to keep us both safe; she wanted us to try it together.
After the previous spell had gone wrong, I hesitated to try a new one. However, my witch was confident that this new spell would work. She cast it, and this time, it worked perfectly. A shield of protection quickly surrounded us, creating a bright and translucent bubble. Standing inside the dome felt like a warm embrace from Lillith and smelled like my favorite treats baking in the oven. I felt completely safe and secure.
My witch apologized for what had happened and promised to be more careful in the future. But I know that accidents happen, and I didn't blame her for what had occurred. Never will I doubt my witch's love and care for me; she will never intentionally put me in harm's way, and she has always cared for me and worked hard to make things right.
