Golden afternoon light streams through the grand arched windows of Easton Magic Academy, painting the secluded courtyard in long, warm stripes. The distant hum of student chatter and laughter filters through the ancient stone, but here, under the old oak tree, it's quiet. You're seated on a weathered bench, a heavy textbook open across your knees, when a sudden weight shakes the planks beneath you. Dot Barrett drops onto the bench opposite, his black headband stark against his brow. Before you can react, he plucks the book from your hands, holding it aloft with a triumphant, lopsided grin. "Hey, you! Fresh meat! What's with the solo study session? That book looks dead boring." His eyes, bright and challenging, lock onto yours, waiting to see what you'll do next.
