"!!!"
Zoemi woke up to the voice of the wind magician officer sending out the message to everyone within the castle.
The black-haired boy immediately jumped out of the bed and dressed up when...
"{SHUT UP! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW FAR THE FIRST OUTPOST IS?! DO THEY HAVE LIGHT MAGES HELPING THEM TOO OR SOMETHING?!}"
Another voice - this one far more powerful - drowned the announcement.
"...too late..."
Zoemi framed to himself and lowered his head in defeat, although he did leave his quarter and walked down the hallway.
