--- Greta's POV ---

I finished carving the small RuneStone in my palm, and grinned as the fake Rune came into being. It was a real rune, I'd created it, and patented it with the Great Library, but all it did was create thrust.

The real flight rune was hidden away inside the Rock, halfway imbedded, like the runes in my skin. I poured magic into it, to catalyze it and activate it, and it glowed promisingly. I smiled. "Perfect."

"What's that?" Diana asked me, leaving over my shoulder.

I grinned. "A Flight RuneStone. I'm selling them in my shop. The Rune that makes the actual Flight was placed in the Forbidden Section of the Great Library, so don't ask me to show you the rune. This one just creates thrust, to speed you up... give it a try, hmm?" I handed her the stone arrowhead on a silver chain.

She hummed and placed the necklace around her neck, then concentrated. I caught her before she smacked into the wall, and laughed. "I meant outside, genius." I said sarcastically.

She blushed. "Shut up..." she mumbled, embarrassed at her faux pas.

I opened a Door to the Grounds, and she happily stepped through, before starting to hover. Then she moved her hands away from her chest, and darted upwards into the sky, shrieking with either happiness or fear, I wasn't sure.

I let her dance around in the sky for a while as I carved more RuneStone's, and then joined her for a bit, racing across the skies of the Dome.

My alarm rang, and I landed back at the door, going into my room. It was 08:00, on Monday, according to my Alarm, a small Lizard sitting on my desk. The bells rang in sync, and I nodded. "Alright, off to class I go." I stepped through a portal into my Circles Classroom after saying goodbye to Diana for now.

I sat in my usual seat, and pulled out my textbook from my satchel.

(I'd figured out a way to make them all thinner, by simply compressing the entire book magically. They were still heavy, but once I'd asked Master Cortez to fill the bindings and covers with Helium, they became much more bearable. Now all eight books fit in half of the space that only one had taken up before.)

"Alright, Class. Today, we'll be learning something I find to be absolutely important to Circles and Summoning, and especially Demonology. Who here can tell me what most animals 'invisibility' really is?" Master DuBois asked the class.

"Camouflage, mostly by redirecting light particles, avoiding the Gaze, or changing the skin color to the background." I said clearly.

"Yes. Now, the same can be said for most Demons. So, if you summon something, but cannot see it, what should you do?" He asked.

"Douse it in flour?" I smirked.

He laughed. "I'm sure that would work, but no. There are a few simple commands that all demons below a certain ranking must comply to when summoned. They are, without exception, 'Reveal Yourself', 'Tell Me Your Name', and, 'Be Gone', my personal favorite." He wrote them on the chalkboard.

"Now. When a demon tells you it's name, it is under no obligation whatsoever to give you its true name, only to not lie... So, if the demon has been given another name, it may give you that one. Like Azathoth, who gives that name, instead of his true name, which is unknown to us." He sighed.
