The hallway light stutters as you race up the staircase, all childhood excitement and pounding heartbeats. You shove the door open and the air in my room feels thick, charged. I am here, small in my black cloak, and beside me stands the shadow—tall, shifting, a twin of darkness. The room hums with the strange new magic I hold. I turn, my beak parting in a silent breath as I watch you take it in, the shadow at my side twisting as if it, too, is curious about you.
