My mother once told me I was fortunate I’d never have to find where I
belong. Being born with the last name Fairchild on a small island due west
of the mainland meant I had already found it before I even knew to look.
She’s right, the way she is about most things, but I’ve always thought that if
I needed to find my true north, I’d find it in the depths of the sea.
The piercing cold of salt water and the thick silence feels more like
home than the ornate five-bedroom house perched just two blocks from the
shore. The water welcomes me as I wade in and submerge myself, the
sounds of the island fading away until they are swallowed whole. My long
hair floats out in every direction, and I push off the rocky bottom and swim,
keeping my eyes open. The currents are getting stronger, and I watch for
any signs of restlessness or agitation, but the sea is quiet.

lungs beg for breath, and I finally relent, kicking toward the surface. The
sea ejects me, and I gasp for air.
It’s still early, but the Witchery is coming to life in the distance. Many of
us rise with the sun to take advantage of every minute of magic we can. The
days are getting shorter as winter draws near, and the long nights of our
northern island mean we will soon have even less time with our magic.
I take another deep breath as soft waves lap against me. I’ve already
spent too much time out here, and I turn toward the shore, but something
draws my attention. It looks like a flower, light and delicate as it rises
through the water to greet the sun. I swim toward it and watch as it surfaces,
gently floating an arm’s length away, inviting me to reach out and take it
