Aurora and Ygriv walked back to their dormitory in silence, both lost in their own thoughts. Aurora couldn't help but feel like something was off about the fight in the courtyard. It seemed too orchestrated, too perfect. As they reached their room, she decided to do some investigating of her own. She pulled out her notebook and started jotting down notes about the fight, trying to piece together what had happened. Ygriv watched her for a moment, then decided to join in, pulling out his own notebook and starting to brainstorm with her. They worked for hours, trying to make sense of the chaos that had unfolded earlier that day.

As they worked, they noticed that some of the details didn't add up. The fight had broken out between Kateer and Tunda, but there were students from other houses involved as well. And the timing seemed too perfect, like someone had planned it all out in advance. Aurora and Ygriv decided to investigate further, and started asking around to see if anyone knew anything. They spoke to students from both houses, but no one seemed to have any answers. It was like everyone was keeping something hidden. But Aurora and Ygriv weren't going to give up that easily. They were determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, no matter what it took.

The next morning, after a somewhat good night of sleep. Aurora woke up determined to continue their investigation. They decided to check out the courtyard where the fight had taken place, hoping to find some clues that could lead them to the truth. As they walked through the courtyard, they noticed that there were still signs of the fight from the day before. Broken pieces of furniture and scorch marks on the ground. They started to investigate the area, looking for anything that could give them a clue as to what had happened. After a while of searching, they found a small metal object that looked like it had fallen off of a piece of clothing. They picked it up and examined it closely, hoping that it would give them some answers. But all it had on it was a small engraving of a winged serpent, a symbol that neither of them recognized. They decided to keep it and continue their investigation, hoping that it would lead them closer to the truth.

As they walked back to their room, they were interrupted by an announcement over the intercom. "Attention all students, please report to the Grand Hall immediately. There is an urgent announcement from the Headmistress." Aurora and Ygriv quickly made their way to the Grand Hall, where they found the other students already gathered. The Headmistress was standing on the stage, looking grave.

"Students," she began. "I regret to inform you that there has been a security breach at the Academy. Someone has broken into the library and stolen a valuable artifact. We are still investigating the matter, but I urge you all to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to your guides or professors immediately."

Aurora and Ygriv exchanged worried glances. They knew that this could be connected to the mysterious object they had found in the courtyard. They decided to keep it a secret for now, and to continue their investigation on their own. They knew that they couldn't trust anyone, not even their fellow students.

As they made their way back to their room, Aurora and Ygriv were both lost in thought. They knew that they were in over their heads, but they couldn't give up now. They had to find out what was going on, no matter what it took.

They spent the rest of the day investigating, but they didn't find any new leads. They knew that they needed to come up with a new plan, and fast. They decided to reach out to some of the other students, hoping that they could help them uncover the truth. They knew that they couldn't do this alone, and that they needed all the help they could get.

As they sat in their room, brainstorming about their next move, they heard a knock on their door. They looked at each other, wondering who it could be. Ygriv got up to answer the door, and when he opened it, he found Ilja standing on the other side.

"Hey guys," Ilja said, smiling at them. "I heard about what happened in the courtyard. Are you okay?"

Aurora and Ygriv exchanged a look, wondering if they could trust him. They decided to take a chance, and invited him in to talk.

They spent the next few hours discussing the situation, and trying to come up with a plan. Ilja seemed genuinely concerned, and he offered to help in any way he could. Aurora and Ygriv were grateful for his help, and they decided to work together to find out what was going on.

As they worked, Aurora couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She knew that they were getting closer to the truth, but she didn't know if she was ready for what they might uncover. She tried to push her fears aside, and focused on the task at hand. They had a mystery to solve, and she wasn't going to back down now.

Days passed and Aurora, Ygriv, and Ilja continued their investigation. They talked to other students, searched for clues, and pieced together information. They discovered that the stolen artifact was a powerful magical object that could be used to control the weather, and that it had been taken by a group of students from different houses who were working together.

Aurora, Ygriv, and Ilja knew that they had to act fast before the stolen artifact was used for nefarious purposes. They decided to confront the group of students who had taken it and try to convince them to return it.

They arranged to meet the group of students at the old abandoned tower on the outskirts of the Academy grounds. It was a risky move, but they knew that it was their only chance to get the artifact back.

As they made their way to the tower, Aurora couldn't help but feel nervous. She didn't know what to expect, and she knew that things could turn ugly very quickly. But she also knew that they had to try.

When they arrived at the tower, they found the group of students waiting for them. They were tense and on edge, but Aurora, Ygriv, and Ilja remained calm and composed.

"We know that you have the stolen artifact," Aurora said, addressing the group. "We're here to ask you to return it. It's dangerous, and it shouldn't be in the hands of anyone who would use it for harm."

The group of students looked at each other, unsure of what to do. But then, one of them stepped forward.

"We didn't mean for things to get out of hand," he said. "We just wanted to see what the artifact could do. But then, things got out of control and we didn't know what to do with it."

Aurora, Ygriv, and Ilja listened as the student explained what had happened. They could see that he was sincere, and that he regretted what he had done.

After some discussion, the group of students agreed to return the artifact to the Academy. They handed it over to Aurora, who promised to keep it safe and make sure that it was never used for harm.

As they left the tower, Aurora couldn't help but feel relieved. They had solved the mystery and recovered the stolen artifact, and no one had been hurt. She knew that they had taken a risk, but she also knew that it had been worth it.

The next day, Aurora, Ygriv, and Ilja were called to the Headmistress's office. They were nervous, but also proud of what they had accomplished.

"Students," the Headmistress said, looking at them sternly. "I have been informed of your involvement in the recovery of the stolen artifact. While I am pleased that it has been returned, I must also remind you that your actions were reckless and dangerous. You could have been hurt, or worse."

Aurora, Ygriv, and Ilja nodded, knowing that she was right.

"However," the Headmistress continued. "I also recognize that you acted with bravery and determination. You showed a willingness to take risks and to stand up for what is right. For that, I commend you."

Aurora, Ygriv, and Ilja exchanged a smile, feeling proud of what they had accomplished. They knew that they had made a difference, and that they had proven themselves as true majka users.

As they left the Headmistress's office, Aurora felt something different. She knew that there would be more challenges in the future, but she also knew that she was ready for them. With Ygriv and Ilja by her side, she felt like she could take on anything that came her way. At least for now.
