That and her natural abilities as a magic user, which she isn't ready to trust, either. Once more, Valerie and the rest of her friends are back at school, but this time she knows something that no one else does. She knows the name of someone who might be able to help them. Might be able to help her stop the war, stop the Pure, stop the magic that could very easily wipe out the entire world. The problem is that there's no guarantee she survives another encounter with serious magic. Even the woman who came to help her thought that she was better off not doing anything. She should let the fighters fight while she learns whatever she can. She's not strong enough to fight the Pure. None of them are. Is her luck going to hold out long enough? Or will the Council's machinations and the Pure's ambition finally force her into a confrontation that she might not make it out of? Class is in session, and Valerie is scrambling to get herself ready for a fight with real magic. Jump back in now! less
