The Mindmage's Wrath: a book of Underrealm (The Academy Journals 2)
“It was the day Ebon would take Kalem and Theren to sup with Adara, and his nerves tormented him throughout his morning classes. His distraction must have showed, for Perrin barked at him more than once, telling him to keep his mind on his spells. The moment the midday bell rang, Ebon made for the dining hall, gobbled his meal, and then spent the rest of his spare time out upon the grounds. He shook his hands often as he walked, letting them chill in the freezing air, hoping to untie the knots h...is stomach seemed determined to twist itself into.
While walking, he saw a curious thing: the boy Vali, Astrea’s former friend, was out walking alone. His arms were crossed over his chest, and he shivered, but it seemed to Ebon that it came from more than the cold. Too, the boy’s face was haggard and careworn, his cheeks gaunt, eyes darting in every direction. Ebon felt a twinge of pity. Perhaps the boy was consumed with guilt for the way he had treated Astrea. These days were dark, and worked in strange ways upon the mind.MoreLess
