Ruby Fairleigh decided it was time to get away from the crush of students in the castle. She'd grown up in the Southern Alps, in the manor her parents had built to isolate themselves from the rest of the world, and she'd never had friends her own age. In fact, she'd only ever known adults, apart from her cousin. She'd had to learn to live in a world of solitude, with only her hawk, Felicia, for company. And now that she has here at a school that teemed with people, Ruby was feeling claustrophobic.
She'd enjoyed the silence and loneliness of the mountains. On a clear day she could see for miles, she could hear birds everywhere. She had no interruptions to her paintings or her thoughts. She could just be. But here was a different story. Here was chatter all the time, a constant buzz that filled her ears. She needed to escape. So she'd headed for the biggest piece of space she could find. The lake.
It stretched out to the horizon, glittering in the morning light. Winter was basically over and the spring sun, though white and sharp, soothed her as it warmed her face. Ruby sat down and closed her eyes to enjoy the peace around her.
