The Headmistress assigned an essential inter-disciplinary task: the restoration of the neglected Aerie Gardens, an outdoor classroom space left barren by previous, chaotic magic practice. Sue was in charge of re-establishing the living flora, while Rhys and his other magic specialists student friends were tasked with ensuring the geological stability of the terraced hillsides.

Sue arrived with her other fairy student friends, bringing her usual vibrant tools: seed satchels, nutrient-rich compost, and a hopeful green aura. She found Rhys already there, standing atop a steep, crumbling bank. He was mapping the slope with a sophisticated geo-scanner, his focused energy already radiating a subtle stabilizing magic into the earth.
