Ilvermorny Sorting Novels & Stories

“The Elarion are ancient artifacts born of the forest’s will. They move, they resist, and they choose whom they allow near. Your task: bring back a living relic. The rarer, the better. Return empty-handed, or fail to return at all—and you forfeit your rank.” A hush fell. “And should you encounter the Mireling Crown—the forest’s rarest relic, known for its ability to manipulate shadow and time—you will earn not only high merit, but the Headmistress’s personal favor.” He paused. “But beware—it is sentient, elusive, and hostile.” Great. So a homicidal crown. With a wave of his hand, the sigils blazed—and the field rippled. The tall grass gave way to a dirt trail that led into the mouth of the f

Rowyn POV I blinked at Aster like she'd just summoned a kraken in the middle of my floor. "So what is this fucking ceremony?" "The House Sorting Ceremony," she repeated, sipping her Coke like this was perfectly normal and not a complete nightmare in the making. "This Friday. We all get assigned based on our magic and traits. You know...fire, air, earth, water, shadow... The whole big ancestral cosmic destiny drama." I groaned and flopped backward onto my cloud of pillows. "I hate dressing up. I hate ceremonies. I hate people watching me. I especially hate ceremonial dresses made of itchy glitter doom."

' Mariana thought, keeping herself from squealing as she examined the poor quill. Mariana and the other examinees were brought to a large dome behind the three towers when they finished their written exams. Based on what she heard from the others, this dome was called the Magna's Arena. There, they formed neat lines based on their elements, and Mariana was sorted with all the water mages.

Steven told her then : "The easiest one, and the one that will give you the least trouble once you get into the Academy, is for you to take the tests like everyone else so that no one will accuse you of getting into the Academy because someone helped you." Steven put his hand on the black orb and it immediately turned white, he said, "This orb is used to determine if you are a warrior or a mage, and for a mage the color that appears in this orb gives his potential.

With his head lowered shamefully and depressingly, he then walks in the direction of the house. I then turn to the magical beasts behind me that are lowering their head. “I WILL BE WASHING THE SMALLEST ONES FIRST— FELIX AND FORTUNA, THEN ASHA, THEN FYLGJA, THEN FORSJÁ, THEN PEARL, LASTLY, DÓMR! UNDERSTOOD!?” "“”"Y-Yes…“”"”

"You mean—" "I mean," Adeyemi interrupted, his voice a low vibration of pure power, "that the threads are being trimmed. I had nothing to do with the mother anyways. By tomorrow, We will have our merger, our contracts, and our peace. The girl will be a ghost, and my son will be a man. Whether he likes it or not." Tony Williams raised his glass. "To the merger, then. And to ghosts." They clinked glasses. The sound was sharp, like a bone snapping.

“And I’m supposed to be sorted into one of these?” Mina shrugged. “That’s Aetherborn. The Castles always know where you belong.” Seraphine groaned, collapsing back onto the lumpy mattress. “Great, so I’m basically stuck in Magical Prison until someone decides if I’m shadow, air, earth, or fire. Can’t wait.” Mira laughed. “That’s one way to put it.” Caleb grinned. “Look on the bright side. At least you’re not boring, you will survive.” Lyra’s gaze lingered on her, sharp and thoughtful. “No. You’re definitely not boring.”

Emry muttered. Mirae ignored her, plucking a quill from the basket and sketching quick notes on one of the parchments. “See? We could line the outer ring with silver lanterns. Have the pack children release them after your vows—it’ll look like stars rising from the earth.” Emry tried not to smile. “You’ve thought about this.” “Obviously,” Mirae said. “I’m efficient chaos.
