It had been years.. decades since any outsiders wanted to come into the city, and I feel that I should come to terms with the reality that nobody will anymore. It was hard, but the times aren’t what they used to be. So I decided to, on my day off, take a walk around the Academy. It was almost noon, and the light was shining into the large hallways through the giant windows that made up one of the walls of the building. All the students were in their classes, and only the usual hall monitor passed. I would have gone to the library, but I yearned for the outside. If only things were as it used to be, where he was outside many days of the week, and.. ..What was that sound..? It was nowhere near the Academy.. but it was calling me. Could it have been that someone had wished to reached the city..? The people began pouring out of classes, talking to each other. And whether it be quiet or boisterous, they all stopped when they saw the usually reserved Dux jumping for joy and running around the halls towards the one who had called him. … … “..Who are you?” One of the cats had asked, her fur bristling with suspicion. I hadn’t said anything, and looked at the female next to her. Was that not Everest? Wasn’t she.. “Everest..?” I whispered. I had been caught off guard, what could Everest be doing here? Well, it’s not that I wasn’t to see happy or anything, but I am quite confused. She looked at me, shaking her head softly. “Ah.. pardon,” I bowed softly, looking at the stranger. “My name is Dux, and I am here to lead you to the sacred city.” “This path towards the city is not for the feint of heart. So, tell me, are you ready?” _____________________________________________ IM MAKING ONE FINAL APPEAL I REALLY WANT HIM LMAO PLEASE— I HAD NO TIME TO ADD ANOTHER DRAWING SEEING AS HOW IT WAS GOOD FRIDAY AND I HAD TO GO TO CHURCH AJEBAJIXHQUQKZNHAHAJFJGD HE’S TOO PERFECT I CANT WITH HIM QVQ I EVEN GAVE SPOILERS SO— …Is my tired ahh— nevermind lmao.
