I felt the burn of magic on the inside and on the outside. “Hylja sála.” Kiran started laughing, and I opened my eyes. He was looking around the clearing, and I grinned.

The sunlight streamed in through the long-furnished window, illuminating Lydia’s blonde hair and adding a beautiful glow to the moment. Except for their beauty and resemblance, Lydia's hair is different from her mother's.

Jade Sunlight danced on the cerulean waves, a glittering symphony that played upon the infinite expanse of the ocean. The horizon stretched beyond the limits of sight, unfettered and wild from the vantage point of my new apartment, a sanctuary perched high above the world's mundane clamor.

"Yellow Sun Academy is safe."

The sunlight shone through the trees, bathing everyone in its warmth. Sage raised her hand to shield her eyes and flashed a smile. "Thank you, Michael. I'm not pretending to be okay. On the contrary, I'm feeling pretty good." Kai snapped a photo on his phone. "Woah, this photo is amazing! Check it out, Ms. Joyner." Sage leaned over to look at the picture he had just taken.
