First Instance of Magic: When Ilye was 8 years old on a class field trip to Buckingham Palace, she stood outside staring up at the Victoria Memorial. There was chattering around her, it was late spring, the sun was beating down, and as she looked at the golden statue, her vision seemed to be pulsing, and a headache flared. Later she would realize, those were simply symptoms of dehydration, but in the moment, everything seemed too loud and too bright, so bright, that she couldn't think straight. Suddenly, she felt cold water sloshing around her flats, and when she looked down, the water in the fountain was spilling over the edges onto the concrete. Everyone around her scrambled out of the way, but the cold water around her feet made her feel less overwhelmed, and the steady rhythm of the water against the side of her leg ceased her raging headache.
