Chapter Sixteen

Bedraggled but whole, our entire slime-covered student body made its way to the castle doors. The dragons had flown out to clean up any stragglers who may have fled, but I didn’t think there were any. We had made paste out of the whole horde.

“No, no, don’t even think about it,” Professor Shen called, wrinkling her nose. She stood in the doorway, keeping us out. “Everybody line up where I can see you.”

We did, silent and compliant in our exhaustion. Shen spoke a chant, and a sparkling blue cloud of magic wafted from her fingertips. It engulfed us, thickening so much that I couldn’t see anyone else around me. As I stood stock still, a deliciously clean smell seemed to run all the way through my body. Every molecule vibrated with the clean sensation, and even the bloody images in my mind seemed to be sterilized. I inhaled deeply, wanting that clean feeling to last forever.

It disappeared in a flash, but so did the mess. Every bit of dirt, blood, and unknown monster goo was gone. We all blinked at each other in awe.

“You should do that every morning!” someone called out.

Shen smiled tiredly. “Trust me, I’ve considered it. Come on in now. Those of you who need medical attention, get to the infirmary. Cassandra is waiting.”

I caught sight of Toland in the crowd, a little singed and battered but no worse for wear. I was a little surprised he’d joined us, though I guessed I shouldn’t have been. He’d been reluctant to send us out into the fray, but he probably would’ve faced the monsters alone to protect his school.

A sudden surge of warmth toward the older man surged inside me. He was a bit of a stick-in-the-mud and too much of a rule follower for my tastes, but I got the impression he genuinely cared about this place.

We split up as we left the large entryway of the castle. Those who needed serious medical attention headed toward the infirmary, while the rest of us headed toward the cafeteria. Most of the students who went to see Cassandra were still on their feet, at least. I only saw one person being carried by two friends.

The cafeteria was more than prepared for our return. Piles of food lined the tables, so we didn’t even have to stand in line. That was good. Looking around at the pale, exhausted faces, I didn’t see how anyone could have managed it. As I settled down next to my men, I met the eyes of the kid Sonja had been bullying. Taylor. He smiled at me, obviously proud of himself. Hell, I was proud of him too. He’d fought and survived.

My stomach flipped as I wondered if there were any who hadn’t—everyone who’d made it back to the castle seemed okay, but were any of our own among the bodies strewn outside?

We sat in silence, each recharging however we needed to. There was a blissful calm over the whole room. I didn’t know
