The earth-shaping class breezed by. As he usually did, Tolan took the offered bondar—what the earth shapers called the golan—and attempted to sense through it, thinking that if nothing else, he could use it to help understand how to shape. His mind wasn’t on it. Throughout the class, he found himself repeatedly looking at Draln, wondering what he might have done to have caused both Teddy and Janey to get injured. Whatever it was had been severe enough that Master Wassa was impressed by it.

“We need to talk after class,” Tolan whispered to Jonas as they worked.

“If this is about what you started talking to me about in the library, I’m not interested.”

“This is not about that. This is something else. Something more important.”

Jonas glanced over. “It had better be.”

Tolan nodded. “Trust me.”

Master Shorav let them work for a while before having the students who needed additional help put the bondar away. This time, Tolan hurriedly replaced the bondar, though a part of him wondered whether he would be able to use it the same way he had used the furios had he focused on what he remembered of the earth elemental. It had been in the vision as part of his Selection and wasn’t necessarily real, but maybe it had been.

It was worth trying, but not here, not with so many others who might question what he was doing if he attempted to bring forth an elemental. He’d already seen how Jory had reacted when they had done that.

They all took their seats and Master Shorav started lecturing on the earth elementals, going through what was known of the elemental golud. Tolan found it amusing the elemental shared the same last name as Jonas, but said nothing to Jonas about that. Jonas didn’t seem to be in much of a mood for him to do so.

When class was done, they hurried from the hall and he pulled Jonas off to the side, waiting for the rest of the class to pass. Ferrah watched him and he nodded, letting her know it was okay for her to approach.

“When I went back to the room, I overheard Draln and Jason talking.”

“Why do I get the sense I’m not going to like this?” Ferrah asked.

“Because it sounded like Draln was involved in what happened last night.”

“That’s not possible,” she said.

“Isn’t it? Draln would want to work with the older students, especially when it came to Imaginarium. He wouldn’t be nervous about releasing a rogue elemental, not like you. And he’s skilled.” He looked from Jonas to Ferrah. “What if he was the one who released the elemental?”

“I don’t know,” Jonas said. “I’ve known Draln a long time, and would never have claimed he had the ability to release a rogue elemental.”

Heavy boots thundered across the tile and Tolan looked up to see Master Shorav closing the door to the classroom and locking it. He stared at them for a moment before nodding and continuing off to the end of the hall, where he climbed the stairs, likely to his quarters.
