Students of Magic

Borealis University-a crown jewel in the educational system of an empire fallen to ruin.            In its glory days, Borealis University attracted top teachers and students from across the Langasee Empire, the neighboring countries, and the mer kingdoms below the seas.           Times changed after the empire fell.           The school continues on, creating hope and discoveries and educating tomorrow's leaders and creatives even in the face of obstacles and-er-sometimes creative staffing solutions.           The stories the students live out here feel like golden times to them, even in an empire past its golden age.
And students still come to learn to build hope for a future still to come.            The stories in this collection are:            In "The Supreme Tea of All Teas, " Shanning, applying for a professorship at Borealis University, faces one last test.            In "A Story Like Water, " Maynson works as a greeter at Borealis University .
