The sun began its descent behind the towering walls of the academy, casting a mixture of golden-orange light over the courtyard.
Shadows stretched, both long and shallow, where the light of the sun couldn't reach, as if the building exhaled after a long day of work.
There was only a day left until the entrance exam began.
Most of the recommended students had arrived and had been assigned to their dormitories. Groups of first-years were cluttered along campus, navigating the halls.
Some of the later arrivals, dragged heavy suitcases — those who were of nobility who couldn't live without the lavish lifestyle they had.
Elena wasn't at the dormitory, she stood alone waiting at the reception. Her eyes constantly scanned the gate, waiting for his arrival.
Why?
Because tomorrow was when the exams would begin and there was still no sign of him.
