Illusion of Success

With no golems to be seen, she quickly found the crystal in one of the back rooms. It was red and pulsated with the sound akin to a heartbeat.

Lillith grabbed the crystal.

Nothing unusual happened. It felt like a real heart, even if it was a piece of coloured stone.

Lillith held it tight and ran out.

"Is that it?" the succubus asked when Lillith got bacl. "I expected something biggee."

"yep that's it. Now where do we go?"

"We go out there and find the second teacher," she says. "He only kept her around due to a death threat – we can trust her."

"okay!" Lillith ran searching for another teacher.

They found her in one of the classrooms, teaching. The golem followed them.

"Miss miss miss's" Lillith ran into the room. "The principal tried to kill me with a dagger and now he's dead because the golem!!! We need your help!!"

"Class dismissed." Every student swiftly left.

The teacher removed her glasses. "Could you run that by me again and slower?" She though she misheard them the first time.

"Okay so the principal stabbed me with this dagger that made me not able to use my powers. But before he could kill me the golem punched him or something killing him! "

"Are you sure that he's dead?"

"The golem hit him pretty hard"

"Then I guess the school's over," she says. "I'm quitting, shutting this place down. Won't reopen until it's cleared of whatever he kept down below."

"Great I guess I have to go back to Azzar." Lillith sighed.

"It shouldn't take more than a few days. But I am going to need help," she looked at the succubus, who just shook her head. "Please?"

"What sort of help?"

"I'm going to need a supporting teacher," she says. "I'll teach you and you'll help me. Any way you look at it, it's a lot better than just running away after you spent so much time in here." 

The succubus hesitated, but ultimately agreed. "Fine, but I'm doing this because you, not because I care about the school." The teacher didn't even consider asking Lillith for help; she already had someone she had designated.

"Well ya don't need me I'll take my leave." Lillith Didn't sound happy.

"Sorry, I just don't think you deserve to be dragged even deeper into this. What you did was enough."

"No that's fine. It's not like I actually wanted to do something more." Lillith's sarcasm was obvious. "Goodbye. Maybe we'll see each other again... probably not" Lillith started walking.

After all she did, maybe it was better that way. Time to contact Azzar.

But how to contact Azzar was the question Lillith was asking in her head as she walked away sad. She really did want to learn illusions."Maybe Ill just read the books."

He did say that he'd always be there when she needed him. 

Him appearing out of nowhere in the hallway may prove that theory, but how did he know?
