Today was the last day at the academy, and all the students of Black Mall had gathered.
But they weren't alone. For the first time since the Red Sphinx District was split, students from all its parts were coming together. qq
The Red Sphinx District was divided into four parts— the Obsidian Maw, the Curved Spine, the Furred Tail, and the Red Crown.
Today marked their final day before heading off to a war that most of them still didn't know about.
The students were all sitting down in the grassy expanse, either chatting or just resting.
Zephyr was one of the quiet ones— resting, at least on the outside. Inside, his thoughts were in turmoil.
His mind kept circling back to Serena.
She had been there when the sun had become bearable to his eyes. She had been there when he had spent half his life in the pit, always bringing him food, never asking for anything in return.
She had always been there, but now she was gone.
Dead.
