by Kit MuseTorn between two words, Tory trains with the Musimagium and with Diego, a "Mad Bard". Diego is pushing her to learn how to create magic without her clarinet, almost as if he knows something is going to happen. And maybe he does. Alamar is acting strange, regressing into an almost child-like state. And none of her Musimagium mentors will allow her to do anything about the prison complex where she'd found Alamar. Any action is all tied up in red tape.
With the help of Pito, her magical bearded dragon, Tory works to get to the bottom of it. But when Alamar disappears and Tory has had enough of being told no, she decides to take matters into her own hands. Will her rash actions cost her everything, including her life?

by Kit Muse
Tory McRains thinks learning how to be a good Musimagium and following their rules would keep her out of trouble. She agrees to teach Alamar how to play the saxophone as a way to atone for her sin of accidentally wiping his mind, and his ability to play music. A local homeless man, Diego, reveals that he's a Mad Bard, which leaves Tory wondering if she has yet one more group of musical magic wielders to worry about, and when the giant anaconda guardian of her rain forest, whom local folklore calls Mother, reveals herself, well Tory realizes she's in deeper than she ever imagined.Add in increasing magical attacks, the fact that Alamar isn't living in a hostel like she thought, and the fact that the danger stalking the rain forest is now coming from within the Musimagium organization. Tory knows one thing. She's sick and tired of getting cryptic messages from those who wish to use her power as her own. It's time for her to take a stand, not just for her own life also but for the future of her rain forest home and those closest to her.

But when a mare needs a soft landing and Morgan meets a new potential boarder, she learns the heart isn’t wrong. Sometimes it just takes some agility to navigate the path forward.
