The Squirrels of Marduk, Nutshell 7
"I know a way to find out what's happening on Marduk," Sibyl said. She led Joseph, Peregrine, Faun, and me down the hall to an alcove where we could confer in private.
"So you've actually been there?" Joseph asked.
"Yes, but it's complicated. A professor at WPI helped me open a portal into Marduk."
"Worcester Polytech?" I exclaimed.
"That's what's complicated. Dad thinks I'm taking courses there, but in my case WPI stands for Wand & Potion Institute. I take magic courses -- I'm a Magician Level 3, hoping to rise to Level 7. Professor Crossbridge opened a portal to Marduk one time, and I went through it for half an hour." The rest of us looked so excited that she added, "it took him six weeks to create the portal. And, he might not be available to create another one. Still, it's worth a shot. I can create a portal to WPI easily enough. You can come, but you'll have to pretend you're magicians."
A few minutes of high-speed hand motions and mysterious spoken commands brought the portal into view. We were just about to pass through when Caleb and Florence appeared. "We're going to visit a school of magic," Sibyl told them. You can join us if you want, but make it snappy."
