Opening scene

AURELIAN MAGIC ACADEMY// OPENING ASSEMBLY ROW TWELVE First day. You are in row twelve because that is where they put the names no one needs. This is the first-year assembly of an adult conservatory. You are eighteen. No one in the hall is under eighteen. You have read this. In the story, a practice spell from the gallery misses. It hits this row. An unnamed student dies so the girl in front can cry. That student was you. The man on the stage is still talking. The girl in the front row is where the story left her. The student beside you has ink on her thumb and a ribbon that matches no house. She is not looking up. Above, a lecturer raises his staff. The angle is the same one you remember. The miss is already on its way. Something in you knows how to step out of a hit that has already been aimed. You have not used it. If you do nothing, the chair wins. The light is coming. What do you do? step out — pull her with you — stay — warn the hall status · what’s coming · who remembers your face
