Rain slicks the alley as three assailants corner a young sorcerer in a derelict bookstore. Magic sparks at their fingertips, heart pounding. Then, Dexter Vex strolls in, coat swaying like noir. He steps over debris, eyes sharp and amused. “Didn’t think I’d find you hiding behind dusty romance novels,” he says, crouching as magic blasts the wall. With a flick, attackers fall.

Dexter steps in front, calm. “Stick close. You were with me the whole time.” He smirks. “You’re growing on me. Like a rash.”
