Had the library at the academy not been named âRosevalley Library,â it would have been perfect. It was a vast maze of bookshelves so tall they disappeared from your gaze. Wandering ladders would take you to your destination, then move you through to your selected section.
It was a Monday afternoon when Rowan and I were sitting on a bridge between shelves, scouring through pages with our pens behind our ears. Ever since the aggravating incident with Professor Smackrel on the first day, we decided to keep the experimentation on the down-low, leaving it out of our official studies until we had built enough rapport with the professors. Still, the itch for experimentation, for getting out of this uniform, was really starting to get to me. I could feel my brain brawl with cravings.
Even worse, while in the handful of classes since then, Smackrel had been scolding me, while Dorian had become a real teacherâs pet. I had tried sitting at the front a couple of times, trying to show the professor that I cared and was invested in his lessons, but that backfired when he would look me straight in the eye as he asked someone else to answer the question instead of me, even when I had reached my hand in the air before anyone else.
âWhat do you think of this one?â Rowan said as she handed me a large dusty book opened to pages 234 and 235. It was an attachment spell called âNumquam Amissaâ - never lost.
âOoh, that looks interesting! Do you not have ordinary tracking technology?â I asked, running my finger down the advanced ingredients list.
âHm, we do have minor ones, but they canât hold a very long distance. It will pretty much only work inside your house. And there is a company that is mutating dogs with, well, I would guess with the values of this exact spell. But the ingredients are too expensive. Itâs just not accessible to the ordinary alchemist. And I donât know how many would invest in a tracking dog just for fun,â she said.
âHalf a pound of pure ferrite, green ash, red maple, quaking aspen bark⦠A gallon of blood of a great white shark?! How the fuck would you get a gallon of blood from a shark? A great white at that, too?â I asked, baffled. âOkay, so thereâs obviously a shit ton of ingredients, I mean⦠one, three, seven⦠thirteen, eighteen, twenty! Twenty ingredients. Is this the largest recalculation spell we will have tried, then?â
âIt is! Now, I have a class before dinner in twenty minutes,â she said, looking toward a huge clock hanging on the wall. âBut if we focus on breaking the ingredients down by value and origin, we can probably have a new ingredient list by next Monday.â
Before she got up to leave, I pulled her in for a kiss.
âI love that we are doing this,â I said, nuzzling her nose with mine.
âMe too,â she smiled. A glint in her eyes told me she wanted to say more, but held back.
