[Next day]
"Uh... what are you doing here?" I asked, staring in front of me. Stormborne was behind his desk, looking at me with his usual stern expression.
"Ruu... we are here to take you back!" my mother said, standing beside my father.
I was happy—more than happy—to see them, but why were they here?
Just a little while ago, I had settled back into my room after the long journey from Eshmera to Solstice. Today, I woke to the warden banging on my door, telling me that someone was in the headmaster's office waiting for me. And here they were, both of my parents had traveled all the way from Sephra to Solstice right after the Phantom Chamber's challenge ended. During their travel, they got news about the demon invasion, so they used the fastest way here—transportation gates. It must've cost them a lot of money.
