Of all the days to be a wizard and not some roided-out vampire, today was making Tilly question her convictions more than most. She had so much stuff in that little dorm room that she’d been moving out for weeks now, and she felt like she’d barely scratched the surface. She wanted to hire some...

It was just an ordinary morning until the corner hounds came for her. Ever since she’d made her deal with Alt, all sorts of strange things had been happening to her. She liked to think that it was because of that, but in reality, she’d made some warlocks upset a few weeks ago, and the recent...

Thump, thump, thump The beating of her feet on the soft earth fall in time with each beat of her heart. Her cardio was good, but she’d been slacking in the past year, and it was starting to show. Her lungs burned in protest, screaming for her to stop, but on the wizard went, her stalf in one...

There was nothing quite so divine as the smell of old books (Or new books, for that matter), mingled with the subdued, muffled ambiance and heavenly air conditioning that one found in the library of Starlight Academy. She’d spent many a happy hour in this place when her neighbors were too loud...

While she wasn’t huge on social gatherings, Tilly absolutely adored coming to these meetings. She had so much fun discussing magic and even learning some new things, not to mention just getting to hang out with others who were like her. It was very unusual for her, and she enjoyed it quite a...

Again and again, Tilly was amazed at how remarkably easy it was to get what you needed on Manta Carlos. Need an entire roast pig in a hurry? Boom, no problem. Need an empty warehouse to summon an eldritch abomination? Say no more. Need access to the name of a powerful entity beyond the realms of...

It had been awhile since Tilly had been able to flex her magical muscle. She always loved these sorts of practical classes, but she tended to focus a lot more on the arcane. She wasn’t someone who explicitly sought out fights, but who could resist an honorable wizard’s duel? Her clothes, as...

Group projects usually sucked. At West, Matilda had usually been the one pulling all of the weight in the group, while her partners sat on their phones and waited patiently for her to earn them their A. Here, at least she usually enjoyed the subject material. She couldn’t say about the other...

One would think that a classes at a magical school for magical people would be, well… Mostly magical. But no, as it turned out, almost all of Matilda’s classes were just plain ol’ high school classes. Sure, she didn’t exactly hate school, and she didn’t want to give up on her education...

Starlight Academy was really cool in that it housed students from preschool to grad school. It was really quite an interesting crowd, and when you paired that with the fact that almost all of these students were vampires, ghosts, cyborgs, zombies, fae, elves, aliens, spatial anomaly, or any...

Man, the resources you had access to on Manta Carlos were incredible. The school’s library was fascinating in its own right, and Matilda probably could have spent eons in there devouring every bit of arcane lore that Starlight Academy had to offer. In fact, that probably would have been the...

Matilda was reminded of several other famous works of literature involving a kid going to a magical school. This particular school felt more Westbridge than Hogwarts. Just walking to her dorm room, she’d passed nervously by several demons, accidentally walked through a ghost, and caught an...
