The dormitory was quiet, save for the occasional creak of the floorboards as Aiden, Adrian, and Sevan slipped through the corridors.
The moon casted pale light through the windows, illuminating their path as they carefully avoided any noise that might alert the night patrollers.

"I still don't see why we need to be this careful," he whispered. "It's just a meeting."
Sevan rolled his eyes. "Yes, because sneaking out past curfew to meet a shapeshifting prankster in an abandoned classroom is perfectly normal."
Aiden hushed them with a motion of his hand as they entered the common room. But just as they were about to cross it...
"Where are you three going?"
The soft yet firm voice made them all freeze.
By the fire, curled up in one of the armchairs, sat Emmeranne.
