I'm not the only one
Who finds it hard to understand
Mallorie knew the risks of sleeping in an awkward position and huffed, gently, in amusement. She thought of her bedding in the hall, the cold, flat floor, and absently rubbed at her neck.
She knew that the academy was likely the best place for her to explore her skills but still. It was a little uncomfortable even really appreciating that she had them. She shot Morgan a grateful look.
“If not a person, hopefully a book.” She said, only half joking.
Preferably a book, she didn’t say. Still too reticent to entrust the exploration of this new, foundling part of herself to anyone else.
Morgan’s reply made her pause.
“Ah, so that’s what the name means?” She frowned as she spoke. “So these...gods have no interest in people like us?”
Probably the first good thing she’d heard about this. She started helping Morgan to find and light the candles; a faint tremor of anticipation about the knowledge she could be about to learn. The first candle she lit illuminated rows of books, and Mallorie inhaled sharply.
“How many years has this academy been here?”
