Oh, yes. It was a blood ritual. Apparently, Horseriver had a score to settle and my blood was the only stuff that'd do. I was better within a week, and he graduated and left shortly after. I made sure it wouldn't happen again, though: my coat's got anti-magic wards on it, and I've made it so my blood can't be used for anything like that ever again.
That kind of thing happens around here, Stan. Sometimes, you just get killed! It's a little bit like taking a punch. It hurts, and you're sore for a while, but you can't punch back without ticking off all their friends. And, if you're a warden, getting demoted. Usually, revenge just isn't worth it.
...besides, some people are popular enough that they can kill a bunch of people in horrible ways and then nobody blinks when they start offering to give other people therapy.
