    Summary

    Qifrey knows by now not to expect anything less than an ambush when he’s summoned to an audience with Beldaruit, but there’s a tiny, ridiculous part of him that holds out hope each time. For what, he’s not entirely sure. That his old master simply wants to see him, with no ulterior motive? Would that be too much to ask?

    At least today, Beldaruit wastes no time with niceties. “You need a break,” he announces the moment Qifrey crosses the threshold of the Argentgard.

    “Do I?” he replies, then adds, “Hello to you as well.”

    “Yes, yes, hello my dear boy.” Beldaruit waves a hand as if he can flutter clean through the niceties. “When was the last time you had a proper vacation?”

    Summary

    “Do you know why the rule about apprentices being able to choose their own master came about?” Master Qifrey said at last, turning to look down at her. He pulled a comb out of his pocket and gestured for her to shift closer. She turned so he could begin very very gently teasing out the knots in her hair as he spoke.

    Qifrey caused a lot of trouble during his time as an apprentice in the Great Hall. Not all of it was intentional however. When Beldaruit falls ill, Qifrey is told he cannot stay alone, and a new master will have to be found for him.

    Qifrey knew of the risks with this procedure. But if, in exchange for his sight, he were to get his future back?

    The choice has never been more easy to make.

    Summary

    She was drowning in the one place within the ocean it wasn’t possible.

    The towering walls of water surrounding the Great Hall had always seemed like a grand protector to Agott; they meant safety from the Brimmed Caps and prying eyes, along with being all she had ever known. Whenever she had a free moment, she would wander through the streets until she met the misty border of the space her kind had carved into the waves. The filtered light shining down sparkled, and she loved to watch the sea creatures swim by. Lately, though, the sparkling currents had turned to spotlights on all of her many faults.

     

    After being shunned by her family Agott seeks out another witch who can help her. (aka origin story for Agott joining Qifrey's atelier!)

    Summary

    The shattering of glass above her screams danger as she throws herself flat in the gravity stream to look up at what's causing such a ruckus, only to see two silhouettes and a storm of jagged glass from the shattered window shooting her way.

    Time stills. Looking up at the glare of the midday sun, now unshielded by the sunroof, Agott's eyes strain, and yet she perseveres by peering through at the shadowy figures looming above. One petrifying thing about their forms comsumes the air in her lungs as she readies herself to scream, a silent plea running through her mind for her mother to hear, some fifty floors away.

    “Brimmed Caps!”
