#even as asif and sari and lina all get their magic

[girl-in-the-tower]

His parents were ecstatic to hear they had another mage in the family, and their elation grew when Anise showed them the roses she froze for them as a present.

What luck they had, his mother remarked. Two mages in a group of five. They really couldn’t ask for more than that.

(He found Cala playing with peonies one day in the garden, five months after Anise’s roses. She held them in her palm and whispered to them, and when he asked her what she was doing there all alone, she dropped them and ran towards the fountain, with its peacock statue. Later he asked her again, and she denied ever being in the garden, to begin with.)

#azusaprogress #poor cala #she really wants to do magic to be the same as her siblings #but genetics decided to have a field day with her instead #she's the sort of kid who'll try to copy her siblings too #and become disheartened when she realizes that no matter what she does things won't change #first bahri then anise #but never her #even as asif and sari and lina all get their magic #of course the asim parents are over the moon because that means more mages in their family #and subtle lines are drawn between them and the others
