Celeste's POV
*****
The moment I stepped into my bedroom, the temperature dropped, sending ice down my bones.
I closed the door behind me with haste, eyes scanning the walls. Across all of them was a collection of runes, forming complex designs.
Wards.
Glowing with a bright white light on my walls, charged with enough magic energy to make the air feel heavy.
"What the fuck happened here?" I swallowed, fingers curling beside me. "These wards aren't supposed to be visible. Or this active."
Should I go report this to the Dean or someone important in the academy? What do I even say? Wait… HOW am I certain this didn't have something to do with me?
Curious and clueless all at once, I crept deeper into the bedroom. My right hand lifted shakily above my head, magic gathering between my fingertips before I even summoned it.
That got me excited for a split second but I hastily pushed it down.
