After making it through the crowd, I was heading back to my dorm to be alone when I paused. I wanted to practice magic some more, but I didn’t want to break anything. Clearly, the common room was not an ideal place at the moment. There was one other place I could think of to try.

I turned down one of the back hallways, looking around to make sure no one could see me. Technically, it was against the rules, but I’d been doing it for years. The back west corner of the building led to a storage room with an iron ladder attached to the wall. The ladder led up to the roof of the building. It was the best place to go to be alone, given that most people didn’t actually know it was there.

I relaxed considerably when I made it out onto the roof, knowing I wouldn’t be followed up there or accosted again. I could feel the skin on my cheek tightening where the blood dried on top of it, and I sighed. It would be far too much work to go all the way down, find a bathroom, clean it, and come back, so I just laid on the roof and closed my eyes, resolving to deal with it. Luckily, being cut with ice, it was clean and just barely deep enough to draw a little bit of blood. It would heal fine.

As I laid there, looking up at the sky, I raised one arm above my head, examining it. Slowly, I started to hum a different song, just one I’d heard on the radio a few years back. It wasn’t anything magical. I was curious if it would work as well. Just as I suspected, very slowly, the light began to fill the air around my hand. Despite simply being light, it moved and reflected light like water did. But if it had been water, it would have frozen under Jenny’s ice, so I knew that wasn’t it. It was almost like liquid light.

I brought my hand down closer to my face to examine it. It was so odd. With how much it looked like water, and since it came from singing, I assumed it had to come from the part of me that was a siren. But it wasn’t water. That seemed like an important caveat. So maybe it came from the half of me that was a sorcerer. Or maybe it was born from the combination of the two, and it was some form of magic that no one had ever encountered before. As cool as that sounded, I really hoped that wasn’t it. If that were the case, there would be no one to teach me.

I wondered how much of this I could figure out on my own. Mona and Corinne had helped significantly, but neither of their techniques worked directly because I wasn’t a witch, nor was I a banshee. No one at Collegium Beluae could teach me how to be the things I was, but beasts were usually prohibited from learning materials that concerned heroes.
