15. Them's the Breaks, Kid

Complete story — includes the ending

Eda tells Luz the story of how she met Raine. When she was a teenager, Hexside's former principal Faust sent her to a training program to represent the school, promising to let her stay in Hexside if she comes back with a blue ribbon. At the event, Eda met Raine and the two became friends while working together to pass all the exercises. However, the host Terra Snapdragon has found the whole event disappointing and decided to bring up a new challenge, trapping every young witch inside a hedge maze in a game of Covens vs. Wilds. Eda and Raine were the only ones who confronted Terra about the pointlessness of the challenge, making her impressed. Despite Eda losing the game, Terra insured that she stay in Hexside. Raine was also transferred to Hexside due to losing the scholarship in their previous school. As Eda finishes the story, she wonders how Raine is doing now under Terra's control. At the same time, Raine is revealed to have been faking their obedience to Terra and is cooperating with Darius to stop Belos' plan.
