[Sylvia's POV]
The relaxing waters of the beautiful, warm bath washed away my body's tension as I lowered myself into it. The bathroom was embellished with marble tiles and gleaming silver accents, and I put my back against the tub's edge, burying my entire body in the tub. Only my neck and a portion of her shoulders were exposed.
"Buzz... buzz..."The familiar buzzing of my communication device, RuneCaller, disrupted my peaceful moment, and I groped for the device, sighing.
The call came from none other than Ember Odette Melisande, Headmaster of the esteemed Darkoina Continent Academy.
"It's a pleasure to hear from you," I responded, my voice warm because she is one of my few close friends.
Years of teamwork and understanding had resulted in mutual respect between the two of us.
"Hello, Sylvia," replied Headmaster Ember. "Everything is well on your end."
