I jolted awake, my neck stiff from having fallen asleep on the floor beside the couch. The sunlight filtered lazily through the penthouse windows, casting golden lines across the room.
I looked around groggily Liris was gone. Guess she left for the academy early.
I rubbed my eyes and stumbled into the bathroom. Splashing some cold water on my face helped a bit, but as I reached for a towel, I caught sight of the glowing interface on my watch.
A message from Cedric.
[Cedric]: Emergency. It's about Harry—the one you told me to keep tabs on. He's now part of two Consortiums: The Consortium of the Star and the Travel Consortium.
My brows furrowed. Consortium of the Star? That name meant absolutely nothing to me. It didn't show up in the original novel as far as I could remember, or at least not in any detail.
Still drying my face, I messaged Cedric back immediately.
[Me]: What's the Consortium of the Star? Why is it important? Never heard of it.
