Elana made her way back to the dormitory, her thoughts lingering on the conversation she had just had with her friend.
Aries had been surrounded by her juniors, all of them congratulating her and eagerly asking questions. Seeing that, Elana quietly excused herself. Her presence tended to make such gatherings awkward, and she was feeling a little sleepy anyway.
She had finished all three of her final year examinations. By the end of next month, she would be graduating from this place.
A faint sadness tugged at her heart. The Runebound Academy meant more to her than she liked to admit. She would miss walking these halls as a student.

As she approached the dormitory building, a familiar voice called out from behind.
"Elana, are you heading back to your room?"
Her brows lifted as she turned. "Timothy?"
