After reading the letter, he went and see his parents, to tell them about his decision of training under the mountain hermit.
Just like Daeron, they were understandably upset and rejected the idea without batting an eye.
Well, who can blame them? They don't even know who this 'hermit' is. Let alone sent one of their sons to the seven step mountains. It felt ludicrous.
But with some more coercion and sentiments, he indeed got the permission.
The hard part wasn't over, there was Danielle and some other things he needs to obtain before setting out for the journey.
He met Danielle in the garden and poured out his heart.
It went well, except for the part where she insist on coming to the mountains for his protection, but with some skilled way of words, he calmed her down and made her promise to him about going back to the academy the day after tomorrow.
Now was the hard part. Or rather, the exciting part.
