At the bottom of the stairs, was a cramped, circular chamber, little more than ten feet in diameter. The walls were plastered with pictures, layer upon layer of overlapping images of people and places. Columns of books rose precariously from the floor. In the center of the chamber stood a plush chair, upon which sat a woman, her straight, light-colored hair hanging in her face.

“Good morning, Embla,” the woman said. “Please, have a seat.”

Embla looked around, but there were no other chairs so she sat on one of the steps.

“Do you like our school?”

She looked at the woman, eyes glimmering through a cascade of hair. “How do you know my name?”

“I can hear every word you speak to Bailey from here. My name is Maya. Do you wish to learn from us?”

“I do.”

The woman brushed the hair back from her face. “Excellent,” she said, smiling. “It’s been far too long since anyone made it past Bailey.”

“Bailey?”

“The old man up top,” the woman said, pointing. “He’s unpredictable, but he scares away most who come here looking for shortcuts.”

“So he’s—”

“A test, yeah. To make sure you’re serious. To make sure you are who you say you are.” The woman cocked her head to the side, giving Embla an intense look. “We need your help.”

“You need my help?”

“You came here seeking Marrow, is that correct?”

Embla nodded.

“Something led you to believe the School of the Unseen would lead you to him, right?”

Embla nodded again.

The woman clapped her hands together, leaning back with a grin on her face. “Excellent! We’ve been expecting you.”
