CHAPTER SIXTEEN

On the way to class that morning, Arryn had a very interesting interaction. In fact, a lot of things had been strange. Singled out, they seemed normal, but now that they were happening more often, she was starting to get paranoid.

Walking through the halls, she’d caught a few students staring at her. Caydon and Camdon. They weren’t in her nature magic class, but they were in her physical magic class with David, the teacher she’d seen standing with them when it happened.

She’d smiled and waved, and they each responded with what appeared to be uninterested smiles and flicks of their wrists—poor excuses for a greeting. Even after that, they stared at her, whispering to one another as she continued toward her class.

In physical magic the day before, Arryn was showing fast progress, having transformed a small wooden horse into glass before most of the other students had completed the task.

She’d been so proud of herself, but David had rolled his eyes and told her that her technique was sloppy and if she didn’t work harder, he’d fail her.

Meanwhile, another girl damn near melted hers, and he’d smiled at her and praised her on her great effort.

At the time, she thought he might have been trying to use tough love as motivation. It was sometimes how the druids trained, so she found it motivating. But after how she’d seen him with other students, paired with receiving the stink eye every time she saw him outside of class, she was beginning to think he just didn’t like her at all.

Was it because she was both? A student and a teacher? Was Talia involved?

She wasn’t sure, but being in the Academy at all was beginning to weigh on her. Between all of those small occurrences and the daily buzzing in her mind, she couldn’t help but wonder just how many people Talia had under her thumb.

…Or if she was simply going insane after all.

When Arryn got to class that morning after her run-in with David and the twins, everyone was chatting about the latest disappearance—Dallas.

The city was on the verge of something huge, and Arryn could feel it, but there was no way for her to protect against it. All that mattered to her at that moment was the fact that she now had her friends rallying behind her.

Almost immediately, the discussion of battle magic came up again, and it occurred to her that her role in Arcadia had become quite a bit like the more experienced and higher-ranking warriors in the druid community.

When new recruits began training, that was all they did from the moment they woke up until the time they went to bed.

Recently, Arryn's duties had been to wake up early, train hard with Cathillian as well as work with the guards, then go to the Academy and teach the students basic magic, and now it seemed like she would be taking on a new role as well.

But with the worry of everything going on, Arryn welcomed the challenge. Everyone deserved the opportunity to be able to protect themselves if the worst were to happen.
