Three weeks after Darkmoor, the wizard has thrown themself fully back into the rebuild efforts in Dragonspyre. In all honesty there is not much building left to be done. Regina has done her work thouroughly and spectacularly, the school halls have been revitalized, the central commons area is free of obsidian and sulfur, student housing is very nearly complete.

So the wizard is doing rounds for other necessities. Creating a teleport hub like the one in the Basilica, with direct transport to the library, the Drake hatching nest, and the Great Spire. The Spire portal is mostly to keep a continued eye on the sleeping Dragon Titan, but once or twice they’ve seen the death students vanish through it for hours at a time. They don’t ask. They don’t really need to.

“You seem tired, my friend.” Sometimes the ghosts are too perceptive for their own good.

“I’m fine, Balthazar.” The wizard replies, robotic and empty as they flip through the recipe sheets in their hands. “There’s just a lot to be done.”

“I am sure, but rest is important for those of us who still rely on a physical body. The feat you and your friends have achieved is monumental, do not do it a disservice with your exhaustion.”

They huff softly in response, “The credit should go to the rest of the Ravenwood students rather than me. I was away for most of it.” A pause, folding the recipes and tucking them away. “Thank you for these, I was missing a few.”

“Of course, my friend.”

It’s not just the ghosts of course.

Every now and then people will stop them, send them away, tell them to rest when they notice that the wizard has been up and around for more than a few days at a time. Malorn and Penny most often and hardest to brush off, but others too, Ceren, Suzie, even Nolan stopped them once to say they should at least sit down a while.

They don’t mention that there are other reasons for their near constant wakefulness. It’s not just the need to escape being alone with their thoughts. No, though that is a constant, their main concern is that since returning from Darkmoor—

Nobody has seen Duncan Grimwater.

The other students share their concern (as best they can without knowing the whole story) the death students and the Gryphonbane’s in particular. They have brought this to the attention of any power that seems reasonable to bring it to, all the professors are aware, Sergent Muldoon was kind enough to notify the city guard that he was missing, they even went back to speak with the street heads, Lady Oriel, Prince Alicane, General Akilles, gods they even trounced Prince Gobblestone again just to ask the King.

Nobody has seen nor heard from Duncan.

And they cannot seem to get Headmaster Ambrose to care.

The conversation with him is steel seething through their mind. Still leeching anger and frustration out. He is probably in mourning. I am sure he will turn up soon. Best to focus on your own studies.

Every week they return to Wizard City—courtesy of Baldur and his ship (which, with some help from the Wizard and Regina, has been reinforced to withstand the sweltering heat of the Dragonspyre skies). Every week they make the rounds to check in. Every week there is no news.

They think about Duncan, alone after the final death of his professor and mentor, alone and newly touched by Shadow. They think about the Eclipse Tower. About the Hive and the Pit. They hope Duncan is smart enough not to push those powers, hopes seeing what happened to them was enough to scare him away from it. But they don’t really believe that’s true.

Maybe he’s better at figuring things out alone than they are.

Regardless.

Weeks pass.

No news.

The restoration the the Dragonspyre Academy of Magic is reaching completion.

The trees all have faces, young but speaking.

Phyll the Life Tree is the most talkative, the others tire quickly still. Sabrina assured everyone that this would change as the trees matured. Ashley seems happy to have company that isn’t Corpus. And Corpus, to his credit, seems in slightly better spirits.

“We have three empty school buildings left,” Regina says to the group now sitting in what was once—and is again—the Dean’s office. “I think it might be nice to institute a proper Balance classroom, since as of now, the only one is in Krokotopia.”

The group here consists of the wizard, Suzie, Ceren, Penny, and Marla.

“If you two—” Regina nods to Ceren and the wizard, “—can put together a planter box that will host a sapling from Niles, and maybe talk to Alhazared about potential curricula—”

It’s a little funny, the wizard thinks.

All of them students still—though young adults—part of Ravenwood, putting together an academy that does not belong to them.

Or maybe at this point, it does.

Suzie has already volunteered to be the Duelmaster for the academy, and Marla heads monstrology research along with assisting Milos at the library.

It’s become a sort of unspoken understanding.

That all of them want the Academy to be open again, to be an option for magical learning that extends open arms to the whole Spiral.

It’s nice.

Having a goal that isn’t world ending.

“One of the extra buildings,” the wizard says softly, eyes on their hands where they clasp atop the table. “I’d like to have a place for the Astral Schools here—they’re considered a lost art to so many, I think…I think it would be nice if they could be taught again, alongside everything else.”

“I’d love to learn Moon magic!” Marla pipes up instantly, “Sorry, I’ve been waiting for a good time to ask you about it—summoning creatures is one thing but becoming them is a whole other level of study and—” she stops, smiling a little sheepishly. “—Anyways, I think that’s a great idea.”

The rest of the group agrees, and so one of the remaining buildings will be adorned in the Astral School’s symbols.

And maybe, the wizard thinks, when things have settled, they might just have the makings of a future.

“Tell us about the moment that started your career as an activist.”

“When I was born! Being born Black and growing up in a predominantly white area, you learn how the world views you very quickly. I’ve been an activist since the first day I started challenging how people thought I should act in this world.”

FREEDOM: 50 YEARS OF PRIDE Channel 4 TV, Sat 2 July 8pm) The inspiring and important story of five decades of LGBTQ+ activism, told by the people who were there. This year marks the 50th anniversary of UK Pride. In this feature-length documentary, made in collaboration with Oscar-nominated director Stephen Daldry, and playwright Joe Robertson and the BFI, Channel 4 looks back at the origins and development of a remarkable movement.

It tells personal stories of courage, love, support, anger and determination that have defined 50 years of UK Pride. Part protest, part party, part performance, Pride has been and remains a vital, political, celebratory part of the ongoing battle for LGBTQ+ human rights. Showing as part of Channel 4's season of programmes and specials marking 50 years of Pride in the UK, reflecting on the achievements and challenges of advancing LGBTQ+ rights and visibility over the last half century.

“Statistics show that LGBT+ people of colour experience higher rates of mental health issues and discrimination than our white community members. It is clear to me that we must be tackling this from all sides – including our history.

Whether that be talking about examples of gender non-conformity in precolonial African religions, or the genius writings of Black queer figures like James Baldwin or Alice Dunbar Nelson.

Or whether it be the significant contributions queer Black people have made to political movements, like Lady Phyll of UK Black Pride or Patrisse Cullors of the Black Lives Matter movement...” - Travis Alabanza
