The ebony staff was exactly as Jaux remembered it from Theema's artifact
room. The entire length of the stave looked like a very thin cone of
rough black ice, or as if someone had broken off a black stalactite. An
abstract dome cage of black stone formed at the top, perfectly trapping
a fist-sized purple sphere. The other end of the staff was much thinner,
but still rounded out enough that it wasn't quite a sharp spear point.
"Oh, that's cool," said Frey when she saw the staff lying on the bed,
"when did you get a staff?"
"Uh... I didn't," Jaux replied.
Frey glanced over at Jaux with narrowed eyes of confusion, before
staring back at the staff. She was wearing what Jaux guessed was an
expression between suspicion and curiosity. "I supposed Desyi or Tricks
could have gotten it for you."
Jaux knew none of her other roommates could have gotten the staff for
her from the research storage room, but wasn't sure if she should tell
Frey about where the staff actually came from. She also didn't think
Theema could have moved it here. If the goddess could affect the world
this much, then she probably wouldn't be without human contact for so
long.
Someone else had likely been in their room.
Jaux pursed her lips and looked around quizzically, though she didn't
expect the intruder to stick around. Her eyes fell onto the bathroom
door, and for a moment she considered the possibility that it was one of
the roommates from the other dorm room. She didn't really know anything
about them except that one had blue hair and one had brown. There was
probably two others from that dorm room that she hadn't met yet,
assuming all the rooms had the same amount of roommates.
"Oh wow, it feels really cold," Frey said when she abruptly picked up
the staff with both hands. "It's impractically heavy as well."
"Cold?" Whispered Jaux, as she was suddenly reminded of an interaction
she had almost forgotten about.
The demon root had felt cold when she first received it from the old man
at the wand shop. She still owed the old shopkeeper for trusting her
with the stave that connected her with magic. Guilt suddenly filled her
head, and Jaux couldn't stand the feeling of it against her conscience.
"I... I think I know who to ask about it," Jaux claimed. "I'll go ask
him right now."
Jaux carefully took the staff out of Frey's hands, expecting to be
weighed down. She was pleasantly surprised when she found that it was
both warm and lightweight. In fact she could easily hold it with only
her index finger and thumb. Frey regarded Jaux's actions with curiosity.
"You're a lot stronger than I thought, Suhara," observed Frey.
"Oh no, I'm not nearly as strong as you," Jaux quickly noted as she
firmly gripped the staff with her right hand, "the staff is just...
synchronized with me, I think."
"So, who are you gonna be talking to?" Frey asked.
Jaux felt the slight urge to lie pulling at the back of her mind, but it
was becoming a difficult decision. When it came to her, Frey had always
been so kind and caring. She really couldn't stand much more of her own
deception. Her name, her homeland, and where she snuck to this morning
had all been hovering in her head uncomfortably. Jaux didn't feel right
adding anymore dishonesty between her and Frey.
"I'm going to go see the shopkeeper at the wand store downstairs," Jaux
announced.
"Ah, okay. I suppose he would know something about it," agreed Frey.
"You want me to tag along?"
"Uh, not this time, sorry," said Jaux, who put on a smile apologetic
smile. "We have a tiny bit of... private and personal history that I
also want to talk about."
Frey giggled at how adorably nervous Jaux was. It was obvious to Frey
that Jaux didn't want to offend by denying. "Okay Suhara. Be careful,
and come back soon, alright?"
"Yeah, I will, thanks!" replied Jaux, who now smiled happily at the fact
that Frey didn't look the least bit angry about not being included.

"Theema, did you have anything to do with putting your staff on my bed?"
Whispered Jaux as she made her way down the stairs.
As soon as Jaux was alone, she had shifted her Winter Sight on so that
she could speak to the goddess. She was almost positive that Theema had
nothing to do with the staff, but it was best to confirm that theory
personally. She also focused her vision on the ebony stave so that the
goddess would be able to see exactly what she was talking about.
"No, I can not move any of my tools from here. However, I am glad that
you have possession of it. The staff, Sevla, had always been meant for
my vessels, just as most of my other mystic objects are," Responded
Theema within Jaux's mind.
"Well, I guessed as much. Uh, thanks for the staff," said Jaux, then she
waited for a moment in case Theema had anything else to say, before she
turned her Winter Sight back off.
=+=+=
Luckily for Jaux, the wand shop was empty. The selection of staves
available in the shelves, walls, and displays all looked a bit different
from what Jaux remembered. It appeared that business had been good for
the old man.
"Ah, hello young lady, how can I help you?" the old shopkeeper called
out when Jaux walked in.
"Uh, hi sir," Jaux replied, "I came to return something I shouldn't have
held for so long."
"Return something?" questioned the old man, as he raised a single
eyebrow with skepticism. "I don't remember your face, young one. It's
rare for me to forget someone."
"I've changed... a lot," said Jaux.
Jaux still gripped her new staff, Sevla, in her right hand, and pulled
the demon root out of her robe with her left. She placed it on the
counter in front of the shopkeeper, waiting for him to make the mental
connection.
"Mm, yes, I remember this," the old shopkeeper carefully said as he
picked up the demon root. "Still as cold as ever."
The old man studied Jaux with focused eyes, looking her up and down. His
eyes slowly opened up as he seemed to realize something. Then he
chuckled a bit and placed the demon root back on the counter.
"So, did you successfully learn any curse magic, young one?" the old
shopkeeper asked.
"Uh... yes sir. Thank you for trusting me with a wand, it helped a lot,"
answered Jaux.
"Why didn't you keep it?"
"I... never paid for it. I never could have afforded it. Sorry."
"Well, I hope that new staff of yours hasn't completely replaced my
wand. I want you to keep the demon root," offered the old man.
"Huh?" Jaux uttered in confusion. "Why? I mean, I still don't have any
money or anything, sir.
"I'm glad someone could use it, lass. Curse magic is a rare type for
people to learn, even in this place," the old shopkeeper explained. "I'd
prefer it be in the hands of a young and virtuous magician, rather than
sitting alone on my wall for another few years."
"Oh, thank you sir... but I really can't. I'm not that good of a
person," Jaux replied earnestly. "I'll buy it from here as soon as I
have the money though, I promise."
The old man smiled widely at Jaux's sincerity. It was such a good trait
for younger people to have, and he believed it was definitely worth
rewarding. He wasn't completely certain when he first saw her walking
into his shop, but now he was sure that she was exactly who he suspected
her of being.
"You know, young one, I heard a great story recently," the shopkeeper
began to say. "I heard about how a young novi, who was claimed with a
black collar, stepped in front of a terrible armored thief who was
trying to kill innocent people. They say she used a magic that looked
much like a powerful curse, but had teleported her like dimension magic.
She had sacrificed her own safety, and managed to save my life."
Jaux's eyes went wide and her mouth fell open. Her left hand immediately
flew up to her collar, which she kept forgetting about lately. She
didn't expect him to know about what she did against the knight. In
hindsight, there were quite a lot of people who were there to witness
it.
"Young lass, I owe my life to you, and I'm sure you know that," the old
man continued. "You don't owe me anything, please accept this wand as a
gift of thanks."
Jaux bit her lip and looked down at her feet. She wasn't used to being
praised as the type to rescue others, and couldn't bring herself to look
into the shopkeeper's eyes again. Instead, she carefully took back the
wand, and then bowed slightly to the shopkeeper. "Thank you for
everything, sir. You've helped me so much."
The shopkeeper laughed in that oddly loud full volume of his. "Oh, so
humble, how admirable," he said. "You should be on your way, young one.
Curfew is very near. Be sure to visit me sometimes, okay?"
"Yes sir, I promise," agreed Jaux with a nod, before she waved goodbye
and slowly left the shop.

The girls were once again in their traditional circle of pillow seats.
Desyi and Tricks had returned back to the room while Jaux had been down
in the wand shop.
"Yeah, everything went good," Jaux said, "but he didn't know anything
about the staff."
"Why exactly is it so cold and heavy?" Tricks asked as she was holding
Sevla.
"Oh, my ruby wand used to always be cold too, but eventually it...
warmed up to me!" claimed Desyi with a little giggle.
"Complex staves tend to feel cold when you hold them for the first time.
My new metal wand still feels a bit cool to the touch," Frey added. "The
weight might be some kind of permanent enchantment though. I'm guessing
the staff can be used for melee combat by the magician who is used to
it. Suhara doesn't feel as much of the weight when she holds it."
"Yeah, it still hits pretty hard," agreed Jaux. "I accidentally bumped
into someone with the staff on the way back, and they said it felt like
a heavy punch or something."
"Wow, that's useful," Desyi said admiringly.
Tricks handed Sevla back to Jaux, before leaning backwards in her seat
and supporting herself with her arms. "Gods, Suhara, you are so spoiled.
Frey keeps getting you new clothes and now you're getting valuable
staves out of thin air."
"Oh, I'm sorry," Jaux apologized as she heard a tone of disappointment
behind Tricks' voice, "You can wear anything I have if you want."
"Aw, you're so generous Suhara!" Desyi complimented as she gave Jaux a
little hug from the side.
"Too bad Tricks is so short," Frey teased, "I don't think anything
Suhara has will actually fit."
"Oh shut your hole, Frey," griped Tricks, "I can borrow hats and stuff."
The girls collectively laughed and giggled, filling the room with a
joyfully atmosphere. Jaux couldn't help but be glad to have made such
good friends with everyone. Her roommates were much better company than
her old acquaintances back in Welldrop.
The girls continued with their friendly chatter, making plans for their
free day tomorrow.
Frey was going to accompany Jaux for some curse magic practice. She
didn't have any new spells from Sellwall, so she was free to give Jaux
all her attention. This also meant that she could use some of her ace
student benefits during the practice session.
Desyi was going to be a part of a field group, which was a group of
students who would head out to one of the neighboring towns while under
teacher supervision. The trip would be to the city of Galosrea, a
shoreside establishment famous for their massive ships.
Tricks actually had a duel scheduled for tomorrow, and she invited Jaux
to go watch it before practicing spells.
Jaux agreed immediately.
