o wonder my mother always told me I always had to learn everything the long way. As soon as I found out about knowledge transference spells, sometimes I would beg for them so I could learn everything about being a Sentinel faster. My mother would always tweak my nose and tell me I had to learn it the long way with a smile. I could see why now.

She taught me how to perform one when I was sixteen. It was one of the last lessons she taught me before she died. She told me I never wanted to do it unless the situation was dire and never to try to transfer too much knowledge at once. I could end up killing someone, and we were both going to feel sick when the spell was over.

We had a room full of people with headaches, and I felt like I hadn’t slept in ten days. It was like all my energy had been drained. My mother told me at the end of the lesson, sweets would help anyone recover from the more draining spells.

The kitchen staff must have been working overtime just to feed the people in my room. We always had a spread available with roasted meats, cheeses, vegetables, fruits, and sometimes, like today, there were huge ornate cakes. Idris, Oprix, and Galen were on their third piece while I was still nibbling on my first. If Idris was still looking to find something in common with Galen, their love of food could be a topic to talk about.

I looked over at Saffron. She was pale and a little shaky. She was trying to eat her cake. I decided not to go the extra mile with her and give her the information to do a knowledge transference spell. I knew it would mean more work for Frabess and me in the morning. I just knew her headache was going to be worse if I did and I didn’t want to hurt my cousin more than I already was.

I was hoping to finish my cake and crash into bed, but someone was knocking on my door. Idris had recovered the most out of all of us since he’d shoved the most cake in his face, so he answered the door.

“Headmaster Daxar wants to know where Francesca is. She’s late for her lesson. He requests her in his chambers now.”

I saw Idris bristle. “Tell him—”

“No, Idris. It’s okay. I need to complete my training. Working while you feel bad is just part of my job. I’ll be back when I’m done.”

I took a huge bite of cake. Daxar’s rooms were in the school on the top floor, near his office. I wasn’t about to walk up twenty flights of stairs feeling like this. I called my broom to me. I nodded to the man Daxar sent.

“I don’t need an escort.”

He frowned when I shut the door in his face. I felt like I hadn’t flown in months. Really, the last time was when I fetched Todus off the side of the roof.
