RUMOR HAD IT THE HEARTLESS FAE ATE THE HEARTS OF CHILDREN AND
stole the souls of the innocent in order to satiate their wicked hunger for
chaos and evil. Kolfinna thought that was rubbish because she never once
wanted to do either of those things. The only thing she wanted was to stay
hidden, like she was doing now. Instead of traipsing through enchanted
forests and kidnapping children, she was scrubbing dried bird poop off the
windows of the prestigious Hiskal academy.
The summer heat blazed around her in a thick, humid blanket and
rivulets of sweat slid down her back, dampening her clothes. Kolfinna’s
fingers hummed with the familiar twinge of mana as grass tickled her
ankles. If she wanted to, she could manipulate them to grow tall, or she
could call forth the roots of the nearby willow trees to do her bidding. But
doing so would reveal her true nature because only the fae could manipulate
nature itself.
So she quelled the feeling of wanting to connect with the trees, the
grass, and the plants surrounding her, just like how the blazing heat dried
the cleaning rag in her hand. One small slipup and everyone would hunt her
down. She couldn’t allow that. Never again.
Kolfinna dipped her rag into the bucket of warm water and dragged it
across the opaque glass windows once more. The ancient building had a
crumbling foundation with the occasional renovation littered across it like a
patchwork quilt. Even with all the wealth it brought in, all she had to do
was run her hand along the aging walls and flecks of yellowed paint would
chip away. She wasn’t sure if she was supposed to clean off the peeling
paint to reveal the natural gray stones underneath it, so she pretended she
didn’t notice. Just like how she pretended not to notice the students running
laps on the school training grounds a hundred feet behind her.
The school had once been legendary for training powerful hunters, but
now that the number of fae was sparse in the world, it shifted its attention to
raising soldiers. She regarded them warily. Was she close to their level, or
was she worse? She couldn’t tell.
“Inga!” Dalla called out sharply.
Kolfinna jumped when Dalla poked her ribcage. Dalla raised a graying
eyebrow and placed one hand on her hip while the other held a bucket of
dirty, brown water. “I’ve been calling your name for a while now,” her boss
said, undertones of annoyance coloring her nasally voice. “We’re moving to
the next section of the building.”
