His eyes barely opened. He missed his early alarms as well. The young mage groaned as he rolled out of bed. His attention was quickly brought to the letter that sat there right in front of the door. "Could that be? Already?" He rushed up and picked the letter off the ground.
Ace Brookes, The rift coordinates are printed on the back of this letter. Be in Astera before the third of June. We're counting on you, Captain Itsuki. |
The young mage folded the letter once more and immediately got up to pack his belongings. There was absolutely no time to be wasted. He packed everything. Textbooks, clothes, shoes, all into a small suitcase and went downstairs. He handed the room keys to the owners of the inn.
"Thank you so much for everything. I know its such short notice, but I'll be leaving."
He took out the money he owed them for the couple days he'd stayed during June.
The old couple smiled warmly, "We're not going to take that from you. Its just a couple days anyway. Good luck on your journey son."
Ace bowed his head to the old couple and left as fast as he could.
