"Where was the creepy tall kid in English today? He -never- misses that class."

"You didn't hear? He's packing to leave."

"Really? When is he coming back?"

Simon sighed, and turned to the two boys. "He isn't. He's going back home."

"It has been very good to see you again, mon pere." Etienne sat with his father and the Jesuit in the rectory, taking tea like they used to do every evening back home. An uncomfortable silence fell over the two adults until Michel finally spoke. "Mon fils, it is time to go home." Etienne sat stunned...

The Jesuit picked up Etienne after his detention for leaving Mr. Druce's field session wthout permission. Etienne accepted the punishment easily, after all, everything has a price. The Jesuit seemed actually proud of Etienne for being punished at all. "It's good to hear you are finally sticking up f...

Simon watched the look or terror flash over Etienne's face before he controlled himself again. He gave Etienne a compassionate look, then raised his hand. "Mr. Druce, I know that some of us can't always count on our powers for exercises like the last one. How should we handle this exercise? I mean, ...

He encountered other heroes who used forms of possession, and while that didn't really ma...

Etienne paled. If Mr. Druce required him to mule for the Loa for a simple field test, well, so many things could go wrong. First, the Loa didn't always come when he called to them for his own convenience. If his intentions were correct, they would come to him, sure, but mostly he muled for the Loa w...

Etienne nodded. "Seem like de same as when de houghan call us all out to rites. She call out, and we call back, let de Loa know we coming 'round."

Simon raised his hand again. "What about those of us who don't really have any super-powers? I mean, like I'm just really good at stuff, and I learn fast." Several of his classmates nodded, some because they shared the same problem, but most because Simon was a known curve wrecker, and always seemed...

Simon looked over at his roommate in the back of the class. As always, this was the only class he didn't speak up in, or even seem to be paying attention. Well, Etienne was good people, as far as Simon was concerned, and that meant he could cover for him. He raised his hand. "Isn't it also good to k...
