KLEO: Kleo finished lighting the candles around the classroom that they had checked out for their study group. Technically, spellwork wasn’t allowed and, usually, Kleo was someone who followed the rules but--well, where else were they supposed to attempt this? 

They weren’t doing anything too dangerous. If this worked, they’d be pulling a pen that could become a sword from the book that was laid out in the center of the table. Nothing too big. Or even dangerous. 

And it was going to work. Kleo was sure of it. 

The final candle was lit and Kleo rejoined everyone at the circular table in the middle of the room. On it, five jars of memories faded in and out, like they were breathing. They were nothing more than smoke, but if you looked carefully, you could catch flashes of that strange, Grecian world. The one where Linnet had been her sister. Strange. Untrue. 

“Okay, are we all ready?” she asked as she took up her place in front of her jar and reached to take the hands of those standing next to her, closing the circle.

AMITY: 

Amity was trying to look at the positive side. 

Their spell was not a complete disaster. They did exactly what they set out to do, in a way: pulled something out of a book. It wasn’t the thing they intended but they’d still broken reality - invented a door between this world and Percy’s world. What had gone wrong? That was the thought that made Amity’s mind spin in the days that followed. 

It was another study session now. Amity booked one of the rooms in the library. All their books were spread out on the table, print-out articles and various notes laid out like a haphazard map. Amity stared at it all, chewing on her lip. 

“So what do we know?” she eventually asked when the conversation hit another wall. “Let’s go back to the beginning, right? Write down all the stuff that worked.”

AMITY BLIGHT:  In the restricted section of Pride University’s Library at the top floor, there were a ton of magically inclined books. Some of those tomes were grimoires donated by well-respected scholarly witches and wizards. Some were travel accounts about magical creatures from around the world. And others might not have magical content themselves but were enchanted– spells that made the books speak their content out loud, conjure pictures, or even, it was rumored, take hold of a person’s mind.

Apparently, one of those books was a diary of a witch who had claimed to have invented a spell that let her travel into a book. No one knew if her stories were true– in fact, loads of people called her a fraud. But for the purpose of Professor Sal’s class, Amity knew they had to get a hold of that diary and explore the witch’s story for herself.

And look, she’d tried to go through the proper channels. She asked if she could visit the section with supervision during the appropriate hours. But that specific diary was off-off limits. The librarians refused to say why. It was ‘confidential information’ that only the archivists were privy to. 

Sketchy as fuck if you asked Amity. 

But it wouldn’t stop her. 

So– what else was there to do but break in? Amity had run the idea past Ariel first– she seemed to have guts. Then together, they proposed the idea to Kleo, who agreed that they had to get a hold of it somehow. So they’d go after hours and use spellwork to cloak themselves. Somehow the idea got around to Dev and Giselle (ugh) too– well, Ariel told Dev who told Giselle (ugh) so yeah, yeah whatever– as long as Amity got the book, she didn’t care. 

So here they all were, huddled in the shadows of the library.

“Okay everyone, give me your hands– I’ll draw on our cloaking rune,” she said. Kleo would help too.
