Opportunities and decisions

While Katherine had just made a significant decision that might shape Cassian's future, he was still wandering the bustling streets of Magisteria's market, searching for a restaurant that served good soup and bread. As he moved through the lively marketplace, he couldn't help but be curious. This market was unlike any other he'd seen before. Almost everywhere, mages were at work—some controlling fire to cook food, while others used telekinesis to weave clothes or froze water to cool drinks, though Cassian couldn't understand why they didn't just cool the drinks directly with magic.
