Flashback 39

“Did you get all that?”

“I got the map and the structure of your school. Why go around, though? Wouldn’t people suspect something if they see me avoiding others?”

RuIng shrugged, “they might, but the most they will do is go to the headmaster.”

Sevir worried and RuIng waved his hand. “Do not fret. I have lessons with the headmaster every morning. He will not ask too much if you do well in training.”

“Wouldn’t he recognise the switch?”

“He might suspect something, but there is nothing he can do to test. Stay underwater for the most period of his supervision.”

Sevir agreed. It sounded easy enough. As their conversations turned silent, he waved a goodbye but RuIng stopped him.

“About the taboo. I can show you and explain.”

Sevir agreed eagerly.

RuIng moved back from the crystal and he saw two lamps sitting close by. He raised a hand and the flame in on the lamps shot through the air and wrapping around his hand like a cloth. Sevir’s eyes widened.
