#4 - Ready For Combat

The moth was well subdued, even lowering in struggle to keep itself in flight. With the combined efforts of Nyx, Lucky, and Kat - the Krystalite Charm was in full effect.

Just like the one Madam Pomfrey destroyed, the moth they fought soon turned to stone and darkened. It shattered in an explosion of shards, which looked sharp yet thankfully didn't hit any of them. Anything that remained of the month then turned to dust and blew away in the cool afternoon breeze.

There was quiet for a moment, but their victory was undeniable. The moth was destroyed and their task for madam Pomfrey, including the learning of the new spell, was complete. She'd indicated they didn't need to return to the Hospital Wing, so the four 5th years were now free to spend the remainder of their free time however they wanted.

Then, it happened. The combined efforts of Nyx, Luckett and Katherine were enough to put the dangerous moth down for good. With her wand still held outward, Nyx watched as the insect turned to stone, darkening by the second. She smirked to herself, knowing what was next, and took a step back as the Crystal Daymoth exploded into a show of illustrious shards. The colorful fragments rained down onto the floor of the courtyard, as the group stood around, watching the display. Nordstrom contained her excitement over the matter, as a gust of wind carried the bug's remains away. She could now boast she successfully subdued and killed a creature.

Nyx couldn't help but share a light laugh over Amara's parting words, finding some relatable agreement in them. She didn't respond to the Slytherin, instead letting her have her moment before turning to exit the courtyard. Nordstrom contemplated her offer, however, wondering if she should goto the Duelist Chamber. Nyx had plans to seek out more ingredients, but perhaps now was her chance to get some valuable wand training in. It felt like there was so much to do in such little time. Why couldn't a day be longer? Nyx would be able to do so much more.

She casually pocketed her wand and looked around at the group, before settling her sights on Kat. "Do you want to head to the Chamber, too?" she asked her best friend curiously, wondering if she wanted to get some dueling in. It would be a great time to practice, with or without Amara. Although, Nyx didn't see the harm in facing off against the Slytherin. In fact, Nyx welcomed it. Amara would be a challenge and Nyx never backed down from a challenge.

After waiting a moment for her friend to respond, Nyx turned on the heels of her shoes and headed out of the courtyard, with or without Katherine Maples in tow. In addition, she chose to completely ignore both Tiana Thomas and Luckett Langford during her exit, having found their general presence annoying the last hour or so. If they wanted to have a conversation with Nyx, they could join her in the Duelist Chamber, where they'd be expected to do more than talk.
