Question A Pocket Full of Tansy

Essence Engine... Real? Or Fake? ... Any connection to Five-Fold Court Essence Engines, I wonder... Further queries along the "Any relation to the FFC" going in a separate thread! ... And of course, Red Herring? Or Chekhov's Gun?

So, there's 10 Junior High kids. "No, as always it the three little pests who were more trouble than the other seven combined."

“No!” she shouted, her mind still addled by his first blow. “The mage! The mage that gave Hekate that spell she used on Cavalier and Sky...” It was exactly the wrong thing to say.

Two ribs snapped from the impact and her breath was expelled from her body as she landed in an unceremonious heap at the base of the tree.
