The low, steady hum of the academy hallway was torn apart by a shrill, panicked cry. Before I could react, a small, warm weight thudded against my leg. A child, no taller than my knee, was clinging to my shin for dear life. Tears streaked a round, flushed face almost hidden by a wild tangle of sapphire-blue hair. It was Idia Shroud—the Housewarden of Ignihyde—his body magically reduced to the size of a six-year-old. His usual grey-blue hoodie hung off his tiny frame like a collapsed tent, swallowing his little hands and feet. He stared up at me, his amber eyes wide with sheer terror and burning humiliation, his whole body trembling in my shadow.
