"The principal called you," fianna said, her voice steady but laced with concern.
"Alright, let's not keep her waiting," Kael replied with a faint smile.
As they navigated through the grand halls, their conversation drifted.
Reaching the ornate wooden door of the principal's office, Kael took a deep breath.
Fianna gave him a small nod of encouragement before stepping back.
The doors creaked open as Kael entered, the warm glow of sunlight filtering through the large windows behind Principal Elowen.
The regal woman stood from her desk, her commanding presence radiating through the room.
"Sit down, Kael," she said, gesturing to the chair opposite her.
Her gaze was sharp yet caring, as though she were examining every crack in his armor.
Kael nodded, taking the seat as the door closed behind him.
"Are you alright?" she asked, her tone a perfect blend of authority and concern.
