Enchanter 4 – Jack Bryce

“That bastard plans to finish before the heat peak. He wants Wade gone while half the campus wrestles with their hormones.” Khla’s eyes narrowed. “Why give any deadline at all? He has the numbers. He could just attack.” I wondered something similar aloud. “Or, if he can close the academy, why not demand me now? What’s the deadline for?” Trixie drew a deep breath, fingers sketching a wavy line in the air as if outlining invisible text.

“Because of Clause Fourteen, Subsection B.” She yawned. “Gods, I almost died of boredom there for a moment. Anyway, when Kay’s great-grandmother or whatever signed the partial-sovereignty pact, she forced the council to promise a minimum notice window for any charter stuff. Thirty-six hours. No wiggle.”

I drummed the staff butt on the floor, earning a glare from three Mage- Knight observers posted inside the door. “So Vorlius plays nice until the clock runs out.” “Exactly!” Trixie plopped onto the bench now, legs folded under her. She snagged Khla’s untouched roll, sniffed it, and crammed half in her cheek like a squirrel. “The moment the sand empties from the hourglass,” she muttered, chewing, “he can declare non-compliance and bring every wand in range to bear.” Lazy tilted her head. “How fast is that?

Seconds? Minutes?” “Fast,” Trixie said through crumbs. Thessa’s tail wound around my calf like a python. “Kay can still file an injunction.” Trixie shook her head. “Only in Capital Court. Travel alone takes a day. No portal permissions for us right now.” She gulped, washed the bread down with my water, then tapped the hour mark on her wrist as if a watch existed there.

“Tick-tock.” Khla set elbows on the table, voice low. “How does charter revocation hurt the academy?” “Magocracy yanks every license,” I answered. “No funding, no protection, no supply. The school becomes squatter territory.” Thessa ran a claw down her horns and thumped the dented fork on the tray. “Which means Vorlius gets the staff. Not to mention Wade.” Trixie added, “And the rest of us get court-martialed for harboring the ‘threat.’” I tasted copper behind my teeth. “We need options.”

Lazy’s ears drooped. “I vote we sneak out again. Worked last time.” Khla shook her head. “Gates sealed. Patrols triple.” Trixie folded her arms on the table, breasts squishing like a pair of fluffy pillows.

OceanofPDF.com Enchanter 4 OceanofPDF.com Chapter 1 A delightful sun warmed the flagstones and the back of my neck while I lounged under the lone oak that guarded the first-year yard. We were enjoying some well-deserved R&R after the Aquana Games, and life couldn’t be much better. Thessa lay half-atop me, head in my lap, tail curved like a question mark over the grass. Lazy sprawled on her stomach nearby, drawing idle circles in the dirt with her fingertip. Khla leaned against the trunk, arms folded, fresh scratches among the older ones on her knuckles from sparring class.

Even if she was a healer, she loved a little fight every now and then. “Tell me again why Bestiary quizzes need the full latinate names,” Lazy drawled. “It’s a stupid big old crab, not… whatever Professor Gammicka calls it.” “Carcinus lavae,” Khla supplied without looking up. Lazy stuck out her tongue. “See? Nobody outside a chalk-dust dungeon cares.” Thessa toyed with a cherry pastry she’d filched from breakfast. “Just burn the quiz next time and call it research into pyromancy.”

A crumb fell on her chest; she popped it between full lips, licking sugar from a tooth while she watched my eyes track the motion. She grinned in triumph when my cheeks heated. I cleared my throat. “Gammicka doesn’t strike me as the type who appreciates pyromancy.” Suddenly, a steady hum cut across the academy grounds. Our eyes were drawn up, and heads popped up across the lawn—elf, harpy, minotaur, everything in skirts and jackets.

Even Khla pushed off the oak. Across the sky, a flying barge drifted down through the morning haze. Gilded struts caught the sun, making the hull glow like poured honey. Along the bow shone the five-pointed star and ouroboros of the Magocracy. “Oh,” Khla muttered, hand drifting to the small of her back where a war hammer would ride if rules allowed.

“State brass.” Lazy’s ears flattened. “Pretty toy for politicians…” I nodded slowly. The arrival felt a little… ominous.
