A new day had begun, and the academy was brimming with its usual bustle of students. Yet, Pyris's mind wasn't on the ordinary flow of the day. After his intense training and newfound connection with Alera, he felt more attuned to the shadows lurking in every corner.
This new power was a constant presence, reminding him that he had only scratched the surface of what he and Alera could accomplish together.
However, his day would take a different turn. First, there was a stop he needed to make Madeline's library office.
The soft morning light spilled through the windows as Pyris made his way through the quiet corridors toward the library. It was early enough that most students were still getting ready for their lessons, and the stillness of the academy grounds was peaceful.
The first light of dawn filtered through the academy's towering windows, casting long, soft shadows across the stone corridors. Pyris moved silently, his destination clear—Madeline's library office.
