All sixteen of us moved as one unit through the halls. We weren’t that far from the courtyard, so it didn’t take long to arrive. There was shouting, and the ringing of metal denoted weapons in use around the last corner as we waited, plastered in a line against the wall.

“Can you see what’s happening through that stone?” Luca asked me.

We were the first two in line, and closest to the courtyard.

I inhaled deep and exhaled slowly before I held the stone again.

Nothing happened.

I was about to shake my head, when the air swirled, and my vision went dark. A vision of the courtyard opened before my eyes.The demons battled against the High Council; no one else was present.

I released the crystal and Luca came back into view. My knees shook, but I wasn’t sure if it was from channeling the vision, or from the fear of what I’d seen.

“The fighting is contained. We should head back the other way and move to a safer location until the Council can take care of the intruders.”

I wasn’t ordinarily one to run from a fight, but this wasn’t an ordinary battle. I’d fought a demon before with Gus, so I knew it wasn’t something to take on lightly, and there were three of them out there. The Council members were all full druids—they would be able to fight better than a group of second level Mystics.

Luca nodded his agreement at my proposal and motioned for the line to turn back. A few rumbled in protest, but Sabra and Orsika helped to turn them around.

We made it to the dining hall doors and stopped to regroup and think of a plan. While we gathered, one of the hall doors flung open, and a red-haired battering ram charged into the group, knocking into Sabra.

She growled and grabbed Georgia Anne’s shoulders before she could charge again.

“Oh! It’s you!” Georgia Anne cried. “I didn’t know where to go when Professor Liber left me all by myself. Then I heard noises out here and decided I’d rather fight than wait.”

I fought a grin at the way her eyes were so wide, the whites showed all around the brown, but I had to admire her tenacity.

“So there’s no one else in there?” Luca asked, nodding toward the dining hall.

“No, it was empty ‘cept for me,” she answered.

“Let’s go. We can make a plan in there where we won’t be seen as easily.”

Collectively, we were a strong-willed group, so I was glad when no one challenged Luca. He was a born leader and easy to follow—even for me. It was no wonder Gus had become friends with him.

Gus! The situation was under control. It was time for me to go where I was needed most.

Without a word to anyone, I spun and ran back out the door. They could take care of themselves and I didn’t want anyone stopping me.
