The Birth of Novelling Fury!:

One day while doing homework in the Pecari Common Room, Echo looked up from a draft of yet another rejected transfigurations essay, and declared to all present that he was going to write a novel. In a moment of what may have seemed insanity to the other Pecaris, who, if they knew him, were probably under the impression that he was a quiet boy, he leapt up and started a rallying call! It is for this reason suspected that young Echo had been spending too much time around his potions partner, Saul Pierce.

Saul happened to be in the room at the time. Although he had no idea what Echo was proposing he knew that the words "who's with me?" must always be answered with fervour and he cried out, "I am!"

As chance would have it, Caedence Redoak was observing this and, knowing that Echo was wary of her, opted to join too, just to see what it would do to his expression.

Thus was Novelling Fury! born. Echo continued his crusade by enlisting the school's Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor, Drake O'Leary as their advisor because he knew that O'Leary would not take any hint of quitting lightly. Echo then began recruiting as many members for his upstart club as he could find. He distributed flying origami posters in Cascade Hall inviting students and teachers alike to show up for a kick-off in Labyrinth Gardens. For all his efforts, attendance was low and only one additional student, Aladren Zack Dill, joined the original three Pecaris.
