At the end of the ninth day, Roan and Kristan returned to the Divine Military Academy. At first, no one there noticed anything out of the norm. After all, there were thousands of groups going in and out of the Divine Descent Platforms where the teleport formations were located every day.
However, it was Roan we were talking about, one of the four Celestial Ascendant Radiances who joined recently. His arrival there slowly caught several eyes as he walked away.
Yet, the spectators' eyes didn't stay on Roan for much longer. That's because right behind him, there was a ghost following. It was bald, with ragged clothes and an expression of something that had gone to hell and came back a few times in a roll. Some even used their Divine Sense to check if it was really alive or not.
Who else could that ghost be if not Kristan? After those seven days of 'dedicated' apprenticeship, his mind was blank, as he couldn't think of anything other than the terrors he went through.
