The Academy came into view soon, and I felt a strange tug inside me. It was a longing so deep it startled me. My chest grew warm, my heart squeezed softly as if I had been deprived of something I hadn't realized I missed until this very moment.
Silver Moon.
It had only been a month and a half into the second term, and two months since I last walked through the buildings and corridors of this place . And yet, seeing the tall towers stretch proudly into the sky again, my throat tightened.
Winter had almost completely left the land, leaving behind only stubborn caps of snow clinging to the mountain tops. The Academy grounds had shifted into something more alive, more magical, than ever. Vines that had slept in brittle brown slumber were now returning to life, faint shades of green was curling back onto the stone walls of the great towers.
