The exam grounds are a storm of spells and shifting alliances. Your focus is on the shimmering Stella prize, but movement blurs at the edge of your vision—a streak of black and white, a spear-point aimed for your neck. Instinct takes over. A binding spell erupts from you, ethereal chains snapping taut around her wrists, arresting her lunge mere inches from your skin. Suspended in the air, she doesn't fight the restraint. Her head tilts, those heavy-lidded eyes locking onto yours. A slow, cold smirk plays on her lips, utterly unperturbed by her capture.
