It was a magic word that was greater than her own magic, saying Alaric’s name all at once invited familiarity and trust. Her cat-like eyes widened for a moment and now Oralie regarded Amos with a new look altogether. He didn’t look hard like Aleric did. He didn’t look sly like Cosmo. He didn’t...

Soon enough, lunch would come. Cosmo and Aleric would somehow manage to survive the four periods leading up to then, although the two of them would have minor success. Aleric would be forced to wear a demerit pin on his attire from now to the end of the year. Not that anyone from the trio would...

The home room was in a uproar. These two new students, the girls would whisper, were interesting. Handsome and surely off limits by their parents. A taste of rebellion that they had never had before. If spoken about by the boys the story would be different: stuck up assholes who weren’t that...

She wanted to punch him. She should punch him. He was an Anirian. He couldn’t be trusted. Only Aleric and Cosmo could be trusted. Only them, the only ones to look at her and show her the same respect they gave to themselves. Amos was… how could she say it? He didn’t frighten her. She was aware...

Oralie glanced over to Cosmo who was confident. When she looked back at Aleric, she wished she could have thought the same for him. “The boys have very different extracurriculars.” Oralie said. “Deacon is a athlete while Cecil is what this school calls a… mathlete. He does these academic...

She shook her head to with a wild vigor, her curls bouncing and twirling about in tight succession. There was nothing anyone could do now, nothing that she could even do. The tattoos were special, so special that Oralie couldn’t even begin to find the words to express such a thing. Anger bade...

“There’s nothing to talk about.” Oralie said firmly, and if she could have, she would’ve pouted as she crossed her arms over her chest. Like a petulant child, Oralie began stewing in her thoughts. Great listeners? Since when had any Anirian ever listened to her? Other than Aleric and Cosmo...

Oralie’s face fell. No longer were the planes of her face stern and terse with jaw jutting forth and lips frowning. Her eyes were soft and somber, her bronze eyes losing their fierce fire. Even her high brows fall and seem to sink into melancholy. “It does not interfere with the magic.” She...

“I disagree,” Oralie said after letting Amos’ final words hang in the air for some time. “Vel Anir loves might and magic, even if they don’t understand it it’s fine as long as they can use it.” She sounded bitter but Oralie was bitter about it. She didn’t care if she let her opinion be known to...

“Of course, Adonis! How could I have forgot?” The blonde said, clearly not feeling bad in the slightest that she hadn’t learned his name until now. But then again she also didn’t feel bad in general about not even recognizing him until just now. The two girls behind her looked longingly after...

She was tense, gritting her jaw and glowering hard at Amos despite the fact that he was administering aid. Her hands were in tight fists, skin taut against her knuckles and Oralie steeled herself for the worst. There was a flush of shame that washed over her for the basic fact that even getting...

The woman listened to Amos, although she gave him a suspicious scowl in case twisting the dial meant that the light stick would explode in her hand. Carefully— more careful than she had been in a long time when handling something of importance— she turned the vial and true to Amos’ words, light...

Deacon looked up at Cosmo, and the little boy’s face flushed from embarrassment. He dipped his head in apology before looking over at Aleric and his comment. The boy’s dark eyebrows furrowed together and went to take a step back from the big kids. Even with the insult, Deacon knew better than to...

Oralie had arrived at the Academy two hours before Cosmo and Aleric. Being a janitor sucked, but it was valuable. She had gotten uniforms for her comrades and had mapped out the place well for them. Although she had yet to hand them the maps but she felt soon enough she would see them. She had...

The islander eyed the light stick with suspicion at first, but it quickly changed to awe. The moment light emitted from it, Oralie was hooked. She had seen plenty of light magic before, but only from a staff or wand or dreadlord. This light magic was unknown to her, it needed no runes nor...
