Vel looked confused at us. Andere it must have been pretty confusing to be honest. 'What happened?' she asked.
We told her about the guards and she noticeably froze up, but quickly regained herself. Malanda picked up on it becoming a little suspicious since Vel was definitely a mage and a very good one for her age. Then the question came. 'You two don't have anything to do with this, do you?'
Vel looked down a bit and Malanda shifted her eyes to me. Ummm what should I say? A moment of silence 'Well, Malanda, maybe? A little.' Were the words which found their way out of me. She wasn’t happy… 'How could you?! I actually lied to the guards.'
I tried something 'But you didn't really lie, you simply didn’t know and I'm very thankful that you believed in my innocence.'
She didn’t listen. She was completely inside of her mind, talking more to herself than to us 'I can't report you, but what magic was it? Illegal no doubt, otherwise they won't make such a fuss about it. Is that why all those members of the order are here?' She was in a panic, blurring it all out. Vel came closer to her and tried to calm her.
'I'll make some tea' I said. Vel gave me a look. Was it too soon to mention tea? When I came back they were sitting at the table in the living room. I walked up to them with a plate in my hands 'Here I made your favourite' I gave her a cup of strawberry tea. 'Thank you, Jacob.’ She took a sip then said ‘I’m still mad don’t forget that, you two won't even tell me what magic it was.'
'Well Malanda, we can't.' Vel said.

In my head I repeated that "we can't?" wait, we can't... the Bond. I totally forgot about that.
Then Malanda had to repeat it as well 'What do you mean you can't?'
'We just can't, it was a bond.' I said. 'Owww! you stupid children, please just go upstairs I need to think. How we are going to fix this.' I looked at her and felt sorry, I didn't want her to be so worried.
Also, I didn't think we would hear from our adventure so soon. 'I'm sorry Malanda.'
Vell apologized as well saying this after she had 'Just know that it was necessary, otherwise we might have lost little Jacob.' I nodded, 'that's true master Blevulpus said so too, except for the “little” part.'
'Master knew?' Malanda’s face changed quite a bit. Vel looked at me and then back at her, 'Yes he figured it out on his own.' Malanda seemed impressed with her master, which made her look less sad. Her voice rose 'Of course, he would. When he returns I will take it up with him and there will be repercussions, be sure of that.' We were busted, with our heads hanging low she sent us upstairs where Vel let me meditate and practice the control of my magic.

Feast or Famine
Morgan Mallory was a perfectly ordinary college student until she was whisked away to another world full of strange creatures and wondrous magic. She is completely mentally stable, has no childhood trauma to speak of, and has certainly never engaged in self-destructive behavior as a form of punishment and emotional regulation. Morgan has always dreamed of getting isekai’d like the heroes in her favorite light novels, and she wants nothing more than to emulate those heroes. She has always wanted to help those less fortunate than herself, to stand up for the weak, and to be a righteous heroine who puts the needs of others before her own wants. And she has absolutely, positively, definitely never fantasized about murdering thousands, controlling minds, and pursuing total world domination. Trust her.

8 99Modern Magic
A Modern Magician BookI looked up at the crooked holo sign while the perfectly bred woman read from a paper, a plastic smile glued to her face.'Welcome to The City,' she said in a fake voice. 'Once formerly known as New York, The City is a place filled with ancient and modern wonders. Remember, if you see any magicians please report to the nearest police station or Black Hand officer.'I smiled at the sign and then raised a single finger. No, not the middle one. A blue misty light spun from my finger and into the holo device. The message quickly changed from the fake woman to one of my own.'Welcome to The City,' the woman read, her hair now dyed a fuchsia. Her eyelids were a dark blue and her bottom lip and right eyebrow were pierced. 'A special message from Hecate, queen of magic.' The woman looked up at me, a smirk playing on her lips. 'Welcome to my city.'
