Jeona ran to the divination classroom after she left the stairs. Usually she could stay calm but this was too much. After a thousand shakes, juggles and jostles of the jar in her hands, the answers were coming out the same. The very same!!! Every time. This was wrong and she had no answers for it.
As of late, Jeona was beginning to realize she'd been divining all her life but she never knew it. The weird visions and passing thoughts could aways be seen as daydreams. She just thought her imagination was clearer than anyone else's and when these things came to pass, she never saw it as weird. Just luck or intuition.
But to put a real, solid name to it like divining, that scared her. She had been making fun of divination up until last year. No one in her family could do it or believed it. People laughed at diviners. It was hard to prove what they were doing was real. They all just looked loony.
And she was trying not to look like an absolute nutter. This was an either or thing. Either you made sense of your prophesies and saved people or you shut up about it and coped with knowing the truth privately. There was no middle ground here.
She ran into Prof. Adair's classroom and called out her name. She even shook the jar again causing the die, coin, bone and key inside to clink around. She had to show the professor that for the first time in her life, she could actually make a sign for something manifest. Maybe Prof Adair could help her understand what it meant or, at the very least, confirm this was an honest to goodness divination result and not something Jeona herself was making happen with magic.
