Wizard's Potion: The Celtic Fey, #5

By Roz Marshall

An enigmatic mage. A bewitching schoolgirl. A perplexing decision
For Struan Sutherland, pitting himself against villainous trolls in the virtual reality game, Feyland, is a great distraction from making difficult decisions about his future. The easy option has been mapped out for him since before he could walk, let alone swing a sword: medical school, then following in his father's footsteps to become a surgeon.

But there are other footsteps he'd rather follow: specifically, size six, wearing Doc Martens, purple laces and pink socks. Joss Constanza must be the prettiest girl in final year, and she's headed for the army. Which suddenly seems very appealing to Struan. After all, there's nothing he enjoys better in Feyland than a good fight…

However, Struan hasn't reckoned with a mysterious wizard he meets in the game, who leads him on a series of challenging quests. It makes him see the world through new eyes, and question everything he thought he knew. Will he be a fighter, or a healer? Whichever future he chooses, he has only three days left to decide...

STRUAN SUTHERLAND HELD the sleek grey visor before him with something like reverence. It was not just any visor. Oh no. It was the Senz-a-Tron Hyper-Real Visor, the newest release from VirtuMax for their Feyland VR game. Playing with this beauty should be radical. Mate, are you sure about selling this? he asked his best friend, Andy Morris.

Aye. I need a new amp for my guitar more than I need gaming kit. Andy’s rough cut black hair flopped over his forehead as he nodded. And you need all the help you can get if you want to beat that boss troll, he added with a wink.

Struan stepped towards his sim chair, then pulled up short, glancing across at the second black leather chair, the one his sister and Andy usually used.

There had been something different about them both lately. Andy had this look in his eye, almost a thousand-yard stare, as if his body was here, but his brain was somewhere else. And Isla, well, with her elfin features and emerald green eyes, she could actually be a faerie character in the game, rather than a schoolgirl in Scotland.
