I went into my office and closed the door.

During class, I asked my students to write a paragraph on what they hoped to learn this year, and now I needed to get through them to gauge not only their ability to write but also whether or not I needed to change my next lesson.

The words were a blur.

I kept reading the same sentence over and over again and still didn't know what it said. I couldn't help it.

Random thoughts popped up.

My magic.

It came from The Eye of Abernathy, which came from Earth.

And Abernathy was a dragon of the Earth.

If my sinking suspicions about where I was born were correct -

"No," I shook those thoughts away.

It just didn't make sense.

After staring into space for I didn't know how long, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," I said, glancing at the clock.

It was time for my appointment with Sera. Actually, the girl was a little late but better late than never.

The door opened, but instead of Sera, there stood a man.
