Avina never did managed to meet Vatoly on time. The lunch break had ended, and everyone rushed back to class. But she did put a monitor on him, just in case he ever decided to leave his tower again.

Melis was as talented as any other girl born with an affinity for mana. That is, she was ordinary in every capable way possible.
