    Provocative label, indeed! It will be explained at one point. Like a true investigator, Lawrence will observe everyone while giving away as little as possible about himself. He's the kind of student who comes with his homework prepared, so these posh kids won't be able to intimidate him easily.
  2. Ali is quite the character He, too, will reveal a lot about himself that doesn't fit a mold. I am one for digging deep beyond the surface, and while the cast will appear as the usual actors in a story like this, they will evolve in such a way that, hopefully, will make them appear to the reader as realistic people, and not simply characters. Lawrence is hitting the ground running, but he's smart and adaptable. So whatever the academy throws at him, be it people or situations, he will always aim at using them.
  3. Bastien will reveal that he wears masks, while Lawrence keeps observing him. His motivations... will be complex and not always easy to understand (by Lawrence, at least). Anton is the type of antagonist I enjoy writing, because he's exhibit a few layers himself. The faculty will try to put Lawrence down because he's an outsider and a 'commoner', but Lawrence is at Veridien with a purpose and the isolation he's being subjected to actually works in his favor.

    Prologue

    Thank you for your comment. I know they might feel a little like high school students, but they are in their final year of university (I'm sticking to the system that's most common in Europe for most specializations, excluding high-tier ones like medicine, that that involve four years). A small elite school would feel more intimate for sure, and Lawrence will have to navigate all that. I will let the speculations on the identity of the killer evolve with the story

    Lawrence is keeping both eyes open... and his ears ready to catch anything of interest. All the while being busy trying to accommodate all these new friendships
  6. Chapter Four – The Golden Circle Lawrence was barely back in his room when another knock interrupted his sketching work. Choosing for now to hide it under a few empty sheets of paper, he called for the intruder to come in. He managed to hide his surprise with some difficulty when he came face to face with Herr Becker again. Maybe the housemaster was there to talk about the matter of the heater. For all he could brave the cold if need be, Lawrence preferred to enjoy basic comfort when p
  7. Yes, you're right, fighting blind it is. But they're smart, brave, and maybe, just maybe a little lucky!
  8. Ah, thanks for the background on the cartoon! My husband watched it some many years ago and its absurdity amused him, so that's how I caught snippets of it. Oh, Jack the little white wolf... oh, the powers that grow in him... He's going to surprise you more and more! Cute wolf in the gif for real.
  9. One good, one bad, what can we say?
  10. Ah, someone remembered that little tidbit! I'm happy! I like dropping hints in advance.
  11. For now, it is the only thing that bends.
  12. But... but... who's to say that... they weren't already wolves?
  13. I'm afraid my imagination is running away with me... when writing fantasy, at least. But I'll wade through. You'll have that HEA and by then, hopefully, my convoluted plot will make perfect sense.
  14. What the evil beings don't realize... is that the more they test Jack, the better he gets at fighting them. Yes, it is an illusion, which is why Theo's cooperation is needed, so let's see if he gets fooled in the end.
  15. This is the evil plan, yes. Theo is not completely helpless, but he is going against truly dark forces...
  16. I like to believe that the magical powerful beings that will eventually be revealed... will top every other powerful character I've ever written.
  17. Jack is really, really growing into his role! And he won't take an insult lying down.
  18. Spoken from experience?
  19. I believe you could say that...
  20. Chapter Thirty-Two – You Cannot Change the Past Vince knew he needed to act fast. The mire covering Jack’s front paws was climbing. “This isn’t good,” Jack stammered, his entire body shaking. “It’s like being swallowed by monstrous licorice jelly. I hate licorice.” What could he do? Their enemy did have the essence of jelly – Jack wasn’t wrong – and grabbing it was like fighting ghosts. Ghosts. A single wild idea sprang up in his thoughts. “Ready, Jack?” he whispered.
  21. Oh, Lawrence will have a few things to worry about... Let's see how he resists! (or not)
  22. You know me!
  23. He-he, we'll see...
  24. That appears to be the general consensus!
  25. Lawrence has his suspicions, too... and he's no fool.
