Term begins on the 1st of September 2021 (or 2001 in the Human world). As you're an international student, please get your plane tickets from your nearby airport no later than the 31st of July and you can come to the UK by the time the term starts to get your train tickets from London's King's Cross Station.

Yours sincerely,

Vikram Singh Barn,

Cara's dad: Hold on, don't you have a package from Freole?

Cara: I do, but I don't have time.

Cara's mum: Cara, look at me. We just want you to know that you're a Spirit. We had to wait for you to turn 16.

Floris' dad: Je bent een Geest, we hebben het je niet verteld omdat we wilden wachten tot je meerderjarig was. (You are a Spirit, we haven't told you because we wanted to wait until you come of age.)

Karl took it up to his room and opened his package. Inside is an acceptance letter and some weird contents.

“Dear Karl Jacobs,

We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Freole Academy. As you happen to be in the Human World, we have to tell you that you were a Human-born Spirit. All necessary books and equipment are in this parcel.

Karl: Thanks.

Corry: Karl, what's the matter?

Karl's mum: Sean, would you mind if you go to your room?

Sean went up to his room and Karl is now alone with his parents and his sister.

Karl: You know all this? Why didn't to tell me?

Karl's dad: Karl, we decided that we should tell you as soon as you come of age. Even Corry didn't know she was a Spirit until she turned 16.

Karl: Why do you even want to keep this from me?

Karl's mum: There's a reason Human-borns like us have to let you know you were a Spirit at 16. You need to be old enough to know.

Corry: But look, you're not the only Spirit in this family. I learned that I was a Spirit and I was as shocked as you are. Now I'm in my 3rd Year in Aelfsiden.

Karl: Really?
