On enrollment day, my crystal orb failed to produce even a spark.
A disgrace to a distinguished mage family. A girl with no magic.
That was what everyone had always called me, and that day was no different.
"Null."
The professor's voice carried through the hall.
Laughter broke out at once.
I lowered my head.
My fingertips went cold.
The crystal orb sat before me, clear and empty, without so much as a flicker inside.
That night, I climbed to the forbidden tower, a place no one ever entered.
I needed somewhere dark enough to cry without being found. Somewhere no one would laugh at me.
But a low voice drifted from the highest room of the tower.
"So you've finally come."
I held my breath.
A man stood in the darkness: Kael, the dark mage.
Pale skin, loose silver hair, and eyes red as blood.
He was dangerously beautiful.
The moment his cold fingertips touched me, a black flame flared to life in my palm.
"You're not weak."
He gave a low laugh.
"They just never recognized you."
He leaned close, his lips almost brushing the back of my hand.
"I'll wake the disaster sleeping inside you."
In that moment, I took the forbidden dark mage's hand.
