Using my cloak's skill, I was able to navigate the Academy silently and unseen until I arrived at the base of the Castle-like School.
Entering the building, I snuck around, avoiding any staff moseying around the halls until I located a hidden door near the Arena. After going through the elaborate procedures to enter my Man Cave, involving many locks, twists, codes, and protocols, I finally arrived at what would be home for the foreseeable future.
Since the three of us had left home and "Joined the Academy," there was no need to keep living under the same roof we had for our childhood. While I could have used my Talent on Paola and Abuela to convince them we could come home all the time, I didn't feel it was necessary to mess with their minds.
So, while Brenden moved into the dorms, like any other student, Xilia and I would be living here…together…
