The carriage wheels creaked to a gentle halt before the grand gates of Velmoria Academy.
"Alright, this is your stop." The driver gave a lazy salute to Raven and his group. He was one of the Red Magic Tower's mages, clearly glad to be returning to his more predictable and significantly less explosive daily life.
"Please write a letter to the Tower Master, mentioning that I've fulfilled my escort duty and that I didn't die."
He had been there with them since they started their return journey to the academy, including the stop at the tavern where he almost had multiple mini-heart attacks.
Now, with Raven and his group leaving the carriage for real, he felt more relaxed than the beasts that had been pulling the carriage.
"You want that in writing?" Raven smirked, hopping down first.
"Preferably in triplicate," the man muttered before turning the carriage around and practically fleeing.
Soon, the group reached the gates of the Velmoria Academy, feeling nostalgic.
