scariel low

Octavia. A place where society is divided into three classes. Purebloods are the highest. They usually have light complexions, are aristocrats, have a higher education, and possess a local form of magic called dark matter. After the purebloods come the half-bloods—mostly service workers for the purebloods, forced to work for a place in the sun. They possess very little "dark matter." And then there are the lowest—the "outcasts of society," denied work or education. They possess no dark matter at all and live in forbidden lands. Access to the central streets, where the purebloods mostly live, is forbidden to them. *

• Evening. It was already sunset and gradually getting dark. Skaril visited Gauthier almost daily, climbing through his window and up trees. Gautier forgot to open the window this time, so when he heard a knock on the glass and turned around, Heathcliff laughed to see Scariel sitting near his window on the side that couldn't get in.
