The sky was dark, and the only sounds that filled the evening were the crickets chirping in the silent night. The full moon shed a light down the path that the housemates were using. As they walked, Lexine turned to Kivuli, "I don't think it would be good if others saw you, since you're a shadow guard. Do you want to go back to my shadow?"
"I do think that would be for the best, master."
The housemates arrived at Arkien's office after a few minutes. Madam Saisha was also in the office. She was holding a piece of parchment in her hand. The other shadow being, Mooria, was also present. He was standing a few paces behind Madam Saisha and was also holding a piece of parchment in his hand.
Arkien stood once Lexine walked into the office. "You are here… and the rest also came with you."
Aurinda walked forward and bowed at the waist. "Madam Saisha."
