A huge airship floated through the sky. The evening sky was glowing with an orange shade, making it more beautiful than usual. But no one inside the airship was enjoying this scenery. There was no way they could enjoy it.
Just hours ago, they had left Lunaris Haven full of excitement. Laughing, chatting.
The students who were full of happiness while leaving Lunaris Haven today… now they were all silent.
No one looked out the windows.
No one admired the sunset.
Students sat quietly, some wrapped in bandages, some leaning weakly against the walls.
Even the professors looked exhausted, their expressions grim. The airship hummed softly, but the silence inside swallowed everything else.
There on one side,
Marcus sat beside Aisha, unusually quiet, her fluffy ears drooped. Across from them, Seraphina and Elena sat, both covered in dirt and dried blood. No one talked for a while.
Probably because the one who always spoke first. The one who always lightened the mood was missing.
