The Diaries
A headmistress, an owl and a sorcerer keep diaries about each other. The caretaker keeps a book of things people left behind.
Fiction. The diaries, legends, reports and some of the staff are invented. The academies are real.
Kept by Headmistress Selene, in very neat ink
The Headmistress’s Term Journal
A term at the academy on The Corso: opening day, the Blood Eclipse, the youngest apprentices, a great deal of sand and some very pointed letters to an owl.
