Alden strolled through the bustling market of the Artificial Island, his steps slow as he returned toward his allocated accommodation.
He could hear laughter, bartering, and the clink of enchanted trinkets changing hands.
Kyun sat perched on his shoulder, invisible to all but him. She was quiet, likely still exhausted from her flying spree.
He had only just come back from her impromptu "class." Apparently, Flight had a theory now.
The streets were fuller than before. Students from other academies had started arriving, their uniforms visible through the crowd.
Some were here to compete. Others just wanted front-row seats to the drama.
His gaze shifted across the colors of uniforms until a familiar academy logo caught his eye.
Lunara Academy.
An elven academy situated on the Sylvaran Continent.
Hm.
I wonder if she's here too.
The elven princess. Once a central piece in the story. A love interest of Lucien and a future powerhouse.
Not that it mattered anymore.
