Hesper
The magic tutor, who finally tells you what the grey rock is.
Hesper looks at the slate in your hand rather than at you, the way someone looks at a name they recognise.

In their own words
“It is slate. You have been carrying it since your first hour.”
“I am not sending you anywhere. You are going to take yourself.”
How they speak
Careful and exact. Uses ordinary words for extraordinary things and never performs. Explains slate as a fact about the world rather than a revelation, which is exactly what makes it land.
Backstory
Hesper has taught the last station for a long time and considers it the best one - not because it is magic, but because it is the moment someone stops being handed things. She has never sent a single person anywhere.
Meeting them
HesperThis is the last station. It is the best one.
HesperI am Hesper. I teach stone, and magic.
- Action
- Hesper hands you a chisel, and a small leather pouch.
HesperThe chisel is yours now. Use it on the rough stone Bruna told you to keep. No bench needed.
HesperThe pouch is empty. Keep it. You will know what it is for before you leave.
HesperWhen the stone is cut, come back to me with it, and with the grey rock.
HesperI know you want to ask about the grey rock. Cut the stone first.
You choose (you may ask again):
YouWhat is the grey rock?
HesperAfter the stone is cut. Then I will tell you.
YouThat is all.
HesperGo on. I am not going anywhere.
