Although Adrien had felt tired and drained for the whole day, by when he got up to his bedroom, he found himself restless. He picked up the viper staff and drew a circle around himself like he used to do when he was learning abstract defense magic, but nothing happened; what spell could bring order to all this chaos?

He covered his face with his hands; tears streamed down his cheeks, again. He did not want to leave. He did not want to leave Val.
