“Welcome all of you,” I said to the ten students gathered for the first class.
I had a garden party arranged for them in the palace gardens so they could all meet each other, and I could help get them excited about the upcoming school year.
All ten girls sat around the large banquet table. I sat at the head and raised my glass of sparkling cider.
“The ten of you have been carefully selected to be the first students at a special new school where you’ll have the opportunity to learn about your powers and gifts and how they can benefit the realms.”
Janice creased her brow at me. “How will my powers be helpful? I get visions of the past.”
I smiled warmly at her. “Sometimes, the past isn’t recorded accurately. You’d be surprised how beneficial it is to have a window into the true events of the past.”
“Did you go to a school like this to learn how to use your powers?” Joline asked. She was the one student who didn’t look happy to be there.
