𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗬𝗔 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗘𝗗 𝗢𝗨𝗧 of the academy with the Acheron in hand, examining it to see how to solve it. She thought about using her magic to crack it open, but the thought of cheating her way through disgusted her mind.
Nick read a book on the front steps, but closed it and smiled when he saw Natalya. "Hey, there," Natalya greeted with a smile as she made her way towards him.
"Hey. So I heard you got into a fight with Prudence," Nick says. Natalya sighed, placing the Acheron under her armpit. She took a seat on the steps beside him.
"I did," Natalya replied.
"I'll talk to her."
"Oh, please don't. That will only make her hate me more. Choking her really didn't help," Natalya pleads, then puts the Acheron at her feet. She placed a spell on it so no one would steal it.
"So, did you guys date?" She asked.
"For a short period of time, yeah. Yeah, I was involved with the sisters."
"All three of them?" Natalya asked, to which Nick looked away in utter shame. "All at once?" She asked again. Nick nodded and looked back at Natalya.
"What happened?"
"Their gifts include mind control. I wasn't sure what was real and what was... suggestion."
Natalya looked away from him for a moment. Unfortunately, her powers did include mind control, which she inherited from her father and mother. Nick looked down at the configuration sitting at her feet.
"What are you doing with an Acheron Configuration?" Nick asked.
"Blackwood gave it to me. Says that as soon as I solve it, I get to take conjuring classes. Neat, innit?" Natalya replied, picking it up and showing it off. He grinned and nods, slightly chuckling at her.
"What? What's so funny, hm?" She asked, slightly crossing her arms.
"That particular configuration was your uncle's thesis. He designed and built it," Nick explained.
"He built it?" Natalya questioned. Nick took the configuration from Natalya to examine it for himself.
"Blackwood's been trying to solve this damn thing for 20 years. I tried for three," He starts to twist a few gears, then stops. "Gave up," He sighed. He looks into one of the telescopes. Natalya leans in close in attempt to look at it as well.
