"Stay," he pleaded. "Stay and control the narrative. Use the platform to save your birds. Make me look like an idiot. I don't care. Just... don't go. Please." I looked at him. I looked at the phone. I looked at the rendering of the Delta. I hated him. I hated the heat of his hands. I hated that the internet thought we were a "ship." But Dad’s voice echoed in my head—a seat at the table. "Fine," I conceded. "But I'm tripling my hourly rate, and if you touch me again, I'm suing you for workplace harassment." Paul let go, holding his hands up in surrender. He was grinning again. "Ok," he said. Over an image of a river delta

An old parchment paper with a title: ‘A Brief Guide to being a Student at Havetsavain’, a blue gem and four potion bottles are along the side. A gray wand points at the title. Four quotes surround it, ‘The Elfenheim cloud surrounding the school is not cotton candy, Granny Yimlane said he is pretty positive it can make you float, and not in a fun way.’, ‘The Librarian's cloud is not a toy, it is literally just him’, ‘Vishpura Hallway, under no circumstances, should be explored until the caution tape has been removed.’, and ‘If the mystery teacher asks you “Do you have a second?” you are obligated to ask him if it’s for a crime.’ Further down a book with blue and orange fire comes out, a ship stands tall, tarot cards are in the corner with a blue octopus on top of them. The four quotes surround them, ‘If the Harper of the Havetsavain 3-4 yells at you, there’s a good chance you are doing great. If any one else does, please treat it like you are actually being yelled at.‘, ‘Animals on Sahavala are friendly, but sometimes friends can tackle you back’, ‘Mathias Matthews is not a myth or legend, he was a deranged man, an outright fool, and no he does not haunt the halls.’, and ‘The Ferrymen are always available to sail you to your home Ports!.’

Here's a brief guide to Havetsavain!

Magical cultures united, a bold step in an inclusive direction, Havetsavain Academy of Arcane had opened its doors to begin a new day of age.

Yet, the slithering corruption of nefarious minds & magics already taint a new dawn with a malign dusk.

A Genie lamp on its side spilling ash and smoke that rises in a black background. A movie title: Havetsavain Academy of Arcane: The Other School is bolded with the description ‘In the Bermuda Triangle, Havetsavain Academy of Arcane has invited all the magical cultures to learn under one roof, together to build a brighter future. However, there are those who look at Havetsavain with disgust and concern. The phrase ‘Don’t fix what’s not broken’ is a phrase fit for those turning their heads from the cracks, willing to chip away at something else to preserve their perspective. Ava and Millie, two First-Years, explore the halls while dealing with the controversy the school has brought to the Witch Community. ‘ written below

What if a Genie granted their own wish?

Havetsavain Academy of Arcane was brought to life by the last known Jinn, Mukava Skrybeard, hoping to unite all the magical cultures of the world.

However, Witches with stubborn views from their luxurious status thrones, despise that very notion.

It showcases neurodivergent characters with true depth, that delve into the complex, often contrasting emotions that can accompany finding out who you truly are. The novel is an allegory for neurodiversity and internalised ablism, exploring the pervasiveness of prejudice and the journey to self-acceptance in an unaccepting world.
