Without knowing where this is going, I have to say I like how this little story arc is structured - we're right there with Philo in not knowing much about Felix, or what Felix' motivations are. There's a real sense of risk, but that has its own thrill and excitement. This is a scenario where it's easy to say 'why are you taking that risk?', and yet these kind of potentially-bad choices are made by people - with their eyes open - all the time.
Graduation is only a few days away, and the days are numbered for Philo- a young Satyr about to finish dead last in his class.
When he's paired together during training with Atlas- the aloof star student- a magical accident will set events into motion that neither of them could have possibly predicted.
