Over the following days, our Anastasia spent her days working as a servant, and at night, unbeknownst to everyone, she would train in the duchy's forest.
It was torture to serve those women, and they made her life impossible. The servants, following their orders, gave her the worst food in the mansion. As expected, she didn't eat that garbage and preferred to go hungry.
Of course, without anyone seeing her, she ate everything she could, and more times a day. She tried not to attract the attention of those two women or their allies, but it was impossible. They were all determined to make her life miserable in one way or another.
The changes were significant, especially because the annoying body hair never grew back. Everything indicated that the curse stopped working when she took Anastasia's place. Whatever the reason, it was fine with her.
She had gradually been practicing her weak magic, and although she hadn't made much progress, at least she had tried.
The good thing was that in a week it would be a full moon, and she would be able to perform the spell that would help her restore her magic. Of course, the wait would be very tedious, since Rosina and her daughter weren't making it easy.
**
Without realizing it, the long-awaited day arrived for Anastasia, and she was nervous, because she didn't know if the spell would work. But it was better to try and fail than to do nothing and not know if it would work or not. She was willing to do whatever it took, as long as it meant not being the servant of those women, since their demands every day exhausted and annoyed her.
When everyone went to sleep, she waited a long time, then left the mansion unseen and went to her training spot.
When she arrived, with a pocket watch she had borrowed from her father's belongings, she realized it was a few minutes to midnight.
So, before that, she repeated the spell over and over again in her mind, until it was time to say it out loud.
With a little fear, she began to say the spell again and again, about ten times, until she was tired.
It wasn't working, and that's why she decided to say it with all the faith she had, and suddenly, a flash of moonlight illuminated her, and a beautiful voice began to be heard, which made the poor young woman feel so afraid that she froze completely.
The female voice spoke to her.
"My child, I am the goddess of the moon, and I know you have a wish to ask of me. I would like to hear what you desire," said the goddess of the moon, and then she materialized.
Anastasia turned pale when she saw her.
"Do not be afraid, my child," said the woman, and Anastasia bowed, for she was before a goddess.
"Goddess, I just want to restore my magic. I want to take revenge on those who have hurt me," she said, and the woman came down to her height and touched her hair.
"My little Star, I know you are not of this world, and I have seen that noble heart you have, and for that reason, I will grant your wish, and I will grant you extra power. However, you have to do something for me," said the goddess as she helped Anastasia up from her bow. The young woman was pale, because she never imagined that someone would know who she was.
So, sure of herself, she said, "I will do whatever you ask, just give me your help," she said with tears in her eyes, because she never wanted to be weak again in her life.
"Good, my child, what I want you to do for me is that, in due time, you will be the light for my children," said the woman as she embraced Anastasia.
Her embrace felt warm, like a mother's love.
Suddenly, Anastasia's body began to feel warm, and she felt her body changing, but without pain.
"It is done. I have fulfilled my part. Now it is your turn to fulfill my request. I wish you luck, and I hope you will be happy. I, the goddess of the moon, will be watching you from the sky," said the woman, and then she stopped hugging the young woman and disappeared, leaving Anastasia with many questions she wanted to ask her.
She stood there for a few minutes, still processing what had just happened, and she touched herself to see if what she felt was real. When she touched herself, she noticed that her whole body had completely changed.
She stopped touching herself and held her hands out in front, wishing to see if her magic worked, and her hands were enveloped in a white light.
She played for a few minutes with the magic, and decided to hit a tree to see what would happen, because according to what she had seen in movies and manga, light magic users could not only heal wounds and purify curses, but also break things.
With that in mind and a mischievous smile, she went to the first tree she saw, and without hesitation, she hit it with all her might. Indeed, the tree broke in half, and luckily did not make much sound.
Seeing that, she jumped for joy, for she had come up with a way to use her magic, and that was to put the ducal mansion in order starting tomorrow. She was going to turn the tables and, instead of being the servant, she would make that pair serve her.
With that in mind, she went back to her room, unseen again, and decided to sleep, because tomorrow would be a very special day for her, it was the day her revenge would begin in style.
The next day, our Anastasia woke up radiant, and after taking a delicious bath, she changed as she normally did. She looked at herself in the mirror, pleased, because today was the big day where she would scare everyone in the mansion to death, and in front of them, she would make an extreme transformation.
Very happy, she left her room, and went to do what she had to do. She tried to make very noticeable mistakes, in order to attract the attention of the two witches.
As expected, their allies went looking for her, and it wasn't long before they arrived very angry.
