Gerald was happy for the help over the next several days that Hermina and many of the other vampires brought. He now had a bureaucracy that could write, and that was very beneficial. The school was also progressing very well. Several people were beginning to get that letters had sounds that they made, and were beginning to teach it to the others who were in attendance. Lydia had reported and was working to get some Druids who were willing to come and stick around for the winter, and he was about to hear something that made his heart drop.
