    Summary

    Caleb moves closer into his space and holds his shivering arms tightly, and rubs some warmth into his shoulders. “Essek, you can feel it, can’t you?”
    Caleb noticed it as he left the cottage, once he consciously felt for the sensation. Or rather, a lack thereof. Typically, magic rushes around him like the wind itself, or an ambient scent, or music. It appeals to a different and entirely unnamable sense though, of course. He can feel it, touch it, and manipulate it. It is so constant that it becomes subconscious and beyond notice.
    “You can feel it, Essek. It is gone.”

    Peace is a precious thing, and a fragile thing too. When the unexpected finally strikes Essek's delicate new life, he and Caleb are left adrift and alone and very, very, vulnerable. What are two wizards without magic to do?

    Does anyone have the number for Shane's girl from Boston? I feel bad that they've been seeing each other for this long and we've never added her here.

    Summary

    Here is what he cannot understand: Tidepeak is nearly impenetrable. The magical wards alone had taken decades to perfect, and they have been perfected. To say nothing of the way he's altered the tower's physicality—Master Ikithon himself had taken a full five minutes to break down the door, to hear Wensforth tell it, and he's considered having that information mounted on a plaque in his study.

    Even were some powerful being to breach his sanctum, an alarm would sound in Yussa's head the moment the first of the wards snapped, increasing in intensity with each subsequent spell sundered. He would know of an intruder before they even managed to intrude.

    Not the faintest bell of warning has sounded in his head. Not a single ward has fallen, not a single window breached.

    "Mow," says the trespasser, and he has no rebuttal.

    -

    In which one of the Widogast cats drops in on Yussa.

    Summary

    “We ventured too far, considering our unexpectedly low number.” Essek turns his face against the light, as if to let it cleanse some unwanted quality from his expression. Instead, he looks carved in bone, immortalized in frowning marble. “There were … traps. Perfectly clever ones. Still functioning.”

    —--------

    Essek tries and fails and tries to save the man he loves.
