Chapter 17

Pinecones and Punishment

Tristan followed the familiar path back to the Subroom as though in a daze.

What if Eli was behind the attacks—Eli, with his simmering hatred of the teachers and distrust of whatever they were doing in secret? What if Eli found and tried to destroy the magic hoard, and everyone in the Lair died because Tristan had been unwilling to betray his friend?

Eli wasn’t even really his friend, but Tristan felt he owed his loyalty to everyone in the Subroom.

It was a few seconds before he realized Amber had spoken. “What? Sorry, I was distracted."

“Oh—I just asked if Alldusk thinks you destroyed his classroom.”

Tristan nodded. “I don’t blame him—I did burn down the school entrance, after all.”

“But you didn’t even try to hide that you had done it. If you were behind the other two attacks, surely you would have set the fire in secret.”

“That’s a good point.” Tristan wondered if that was why Alldusk had decided to trust him—because he had been so obviously guilty of starting the fire, whereas the other two attacks had been carried out in secret. “You believe me, don’t you?”

“Of course.”
