'Any moment now…'
Ash smiled as his hands were in his pockets while he took gentle strides in the campus grounds.
It felt nice, finally being free from the burdens and pressure of the Academy Exchange, but he knew the entire saga was far from over.
There remained one loose end… one final issue he had to properly resolve before he could call things a wrap.
'I don't know if things will occur as they did in the past, especially since I've changed so much, but… things look like they should be on schedule.'
His smile remained planted on his face as he desired his destination.
The evening air was crisp and quiet, the soft glow of the academy's lanterns casting long shadows along the stone pathways. Ash walked alone, his thoughts deep, when the sound of approaching footsteps drew his attention.
'I was wondering when he'd come find me…'
Kellion.
