The youngster from the Karen Family newly enrolled in Sepulano's mouth is naturally Matthew Karen.
Andrew Taylor was not unfamiliar with this name.
The world of wizards is vast, large enough to encompass hundreds and thousands of new world colonies, with famous and powerful individuals shining like stars. Yet the wizarding world is also small, especially in the Under the Moon Council, which is always filled with familiar surnames and familiar figures.
Both the Karen and Taylor families have their own chairs in the Under the Moon Council, and both families, naturally or unnaturally, pay attention to the younger generations of each other.
Since childhood, Andrew Taylor has heard the elders mention Matthew of the Karen family more than once: a cultivated young man, a refined Blood Race, a true Under the Moon aristocrat - these exaggerations always made Andrew scoff.
Apart from a conflict in a practice class a few weeks ago, however, Andrew and Matthew had little connection.
