Mika and Dominik weren't looking for a connection.
It's Prague. The early 90s. Nothing is permanent. There are no rules.
They're each trying so hard to lose themself - can they find each other?

🧹 EARLY MAGIC 🧹

Frenemies take on high school, witchcraft, and daemons–both personal and magical.

Speaking of daemons...

Pinning this again and noticing my pitch is just a fancy way of explaining that a man is lying

A mood board of eight tiles and a centre square with lockpicking tools and ancient writing: 1. Always have an escape plan. 2. A swindler never lets herself feel like a fraud. 3. Don't look for the easy grab, look for the easy mark. 4. Never get involved with golems. The pictures depict, clockwise from upper right: A) A city of canals and towering footbridges. There are minarets and steeples and red-tiled roofs. B) A market selling elaborate lanterns, all aglow. C) A porcelain and gold hand, reaching upwards. D) Two figures leaping across rooftops against the coming dawn. E) A pocketwatch--or is it? Constellations and continents cover the front, the body of the watch engraved with runes. It's sitting on ancient parchment. F) A wax stamp with removable chits that function as coins in a card game. G) The lords of the city overlooking grand canals and issuing edicts. They are dressed in fine red robes and silks. H) Assorted bones and shells used for divination and more.

Nia Moredi just wants to look out for her little brother. Miss Laval needs to attend a governess-teacher meeting. Baarsin Dorvierre’s being watched. Pickpocket Wren needs to recharge her misdirection charm. If only Nia could remember which of them she’s supposed to be today. #WIPPit #YA #F #LGBT

I guess I'm not being fair. He was born into it, so it's not really his fault.

Well, he's in a cult, so...

🌙 Previous Moons 🌙 begins on Nos Galan Gaeaf, aka Samhain. In Dylan's touta, solstices and esbats often mean rituals, not always fun.

Previous Moons: Druids were said to inhabit Wales in ancient times, so it just made sense!

Images: teen looking out a window, priestess mid-ritual, dark forest, altar, hooded figure in fog; text: The man was nearly at the altar now, and Marged Beynon was already unsheathing the athame. The old druid reached the altar and pushed back his hood. Dylan was relieved not to recognise him—even more so when the man unclasped his robe and let it fall to the ground. He wore no shirt. The Gwyar water scars were clearly visible on his bare back: long, raised curving lines of blue that shaped his personal connection to the touta. At the base of his spine, the shining, silver-white circular scar of his Nwyfre brand shone in the firelight.  Marged Beynon held up the athame and recited some words, then dipped the blade into the trwyth liquid in the bowl.
