To Leon's surprise, it was not a long parade of coaches that came to pick them up, but a flying ship that descended from the sky.
Of course, it was not the same as a ship that sailed on the ocean.
It had a wide, flat bottom and an exquisitely built and spacious three floor tower, but there wasn't any mast or sail to be seen. This meant it was not an air powered ship. When the hundred meter long, thirty meters wide ship came thundering down, all the Apprentice Mages waiting in front of the Tower were filled with fear, their breath catching at the sight of, seemingly, impending doom.
