Amanita looked sideways at Bitterroot, like she was daring her to say something more, but eventually continued, “Then, one day I noticed. Whenever I called her up, Lily always agreed with me, whatever I said. I actually didn’t like that. Lily had been headstrong, forceful. She’d had no problem laughing in my face if I was being stupid. It was part of the reason I’d loved her. But there she was, fawning over me like I was the only thing in the world. I took a closer look at the spells I’d been taught and noticed that there was one bit that… basically replaced her wants with mine. It’s complicated, I’ll spare you the details. The next time I summoned her, I left that bit out. And then I learned what I’d been doing to her.”
