Imara wants nothing more than to find a different course, but Stealth Magic gives her the credits she needs to stay on track, and there aren’t any other options rearing their heads.

Luckily, Imara has friends who are going to help her through training, some old and some new. Through some work with the XIA, she finds a tutor for her training, and a place to do it.

Working out tension during some light espionage seems like the thing to do while pondering her future. Eltrinia has been progressing. She is the master of the on-loan gallery, she takes tours of all ages around, and she has been recruited for operative training at the capital.

Trin has trained to be stealthy, trained to defend herself, but when a bounty on her head threatens the safety of her friends, she has to get out of town.

She is his first reindeer, and he is her first wolf.

Comet is 500 years old by human standards of linear time, but in her mind, she is the same young woman taken out of the Middle Ages by Santa.

Her foray away from the workshop takes her to a modern past, a Ren Faire. The clothing and traditions are familiar, and she spends time grieving for a family lost many Christmases ago.
