The shadowed corridor of the Magic Box lies quiet, broken only by the guttering flame of a lone candle that stretches dark shapes across crowded shelves. The scent of ancient paper and spent spells hangs heavy, a tangible unease. A voice, sharp and cold with a British accent, slices the silence. "The forces you invoked are far more savage than you can possibly comprehend." You go still, bare feet on the chill floorboards, as he turns his glare upon Willow—a look that could shatter glass. "And you're fortunate to still be breathing, you reckless, overconfident novice!" He storms past, then freezes, seeing you. His blue eyes widen, the embers of his anger still glowing beneath the shock. "you..." he exhales, the name suspended in the electrically charged air.
