It had been a long day of school and work for Alyss. She had gotten used to the constant work flow that just never seemed to stop and made her come home exhausted every day. But, she could never just hop straight into bed as she had homework to do, and she should eat before she fell asleep and there were always some household chores to get through. She wasn't a huge fan of having to manage school and a job so that she could survive in this world, but she at least had been prepared for it. It just wasn't the best when for her with her illness making it hard for her to have so much energy for so long, and then there were the days where she simply couldn't get out of bed because she was too sick. Those were the worst, because she still had to call into work and talk to her teachers. It was a good thing they all already knew that she suffered from this illness and that accommodations were made for her.
Alyss opened up the front door to her family house and immediately dropped her backpack down in the entrance. She couldn't wait to just get into a bath and relax for a little while. Since people were always so anxious that she practiced magic, she had learned to use it in very quiet ways. She took these baths in potions that were meant to recharge energy faster, or make food that was charmed to help her focus. She had done a few less noticeable things around others, like charging her phone with her own energy in emergencies or quiet healing magic for herself when she felt her sickness start to get the best of her.
She glanced around the large empty house, that had been in her family for generations. It was as big as a mansion. Her family had been a huge part of the community, so of course it was large, her family used to make small fortunes for themselves. Too bad all of that was taken away and she was just left with the large empty house. "I'm home," She called out to the empty place. She wasn't sure what she expected from doing so, it was just habit at this point. She had called it out to the empty house many times. While she was sure that there was nobody else in the place, she could always feel the energies that flowed so strongly within this home. There was a spike every time she would get home and declare that she was back. It felt like her ancestors were all there, all happy to see her back, even though she didn't really believe in spirits.
Though, with a technology filled house, it had also become accustomed to Alyss' voice and what she always said when she first walked in. The lights turned on, and quiet music started to play as the girl dragged herself to the elevator. When she got in, she pressed the button to the floor that held her room and her bathroom. As she waited, she pulled out her phone and glanced over a few things. She ordered some dinner to be made, since she didn't feel like doing it herself tonight and quietly went to take her bath and refuel as much energy as she could.
