Only those who figured it out could pass.
Freya's thoughts snapped back to the present, her soda now flat. Ellis had once mentioned disguise, and her

stirred something deep.

He had seen other evaluations, watched others face the strials, but Freya's fire set her apart. It stayed with
him, a pull he could not shake.
“If you likedthen,” Freya said, her tone half-curious, half-playful, “why were you so hard onin training?
