Become a top mage at all costs

Eileen Caldwell had always been the epitome of a laid-back individual. From her early years to her teens, her passion for leisure rivaled that of any professional napper. School was merely a necessary inconvenience, and she found herself comfortably situated at the bottom of her class hierarchy, much to the chagrin of her teachers and the bemusement of her peers. However, all of this changed on her 18th birthday signaling her transition into adulthood, a mysterious system was activated, one that would upend her world of sloth and slumber. Gone were the days of lounging around without consequence; instead, Eileen found herself thrust into a destiny she could scarcely have imagined. This newly activated system, with its stern mandate against idleness, revealed to Eileen her true potential: she was destined to become one of the most formidable mages the world had ever seen. No longer could she while away the hours in blissful ignorance; instead, she was called upon to harness her latent magical abilities and rise to the challenge that lay before her.

We’re doomed

The next morning, I woke to the soft light of dawn filtering through the curtains. Lise was still asleep, her arm draped lazily across my waist, her face peaceful. I smiled, enjoying the rare moment of calm before the inevitable rush of the day began.

My fingers traced the outline of her jaw gently, not wanting to wake her just yet. It was one of those rare mornings when everything felt like it was in perfect harmony.

That is, until I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror on the wall opposite the bed. I squinted, then my eyes widened in horror.

Hickeys. Several of them. Dark, blooming purples and reds, scattered across my neck and collarbone like some kind of embarrassing road map of the night before.

I slapped a hand over my mouth, suppressing the giggle that was bubbling up inside me. Of course, the evidence of our "relaxing" evening would be so obvious.

"Lise," I whispered, nudging her shoulder.
