After storing the books in his storage ring, Alden exited the library.
He slowly made his way towards the dorms.
The day had been very eventful for him.
First, the transformation of the spirit pearl shocked him.
Then the whole accident with Nyx.
And now, Amyra was asking for a spar so suddenly.
Rather than overthinking about things, Alden just decided to dismiss it.
He wasn't going to get anything by overthinking anyways.
He would rather focus on the present.
Step by step, he finally arrived in front of his dorms.
As usual, nobody was there.
He entered the elevator to his floor.
The elevator soon stopped as he entered his room.
The door closed shut behind him with a soft click.
Silence.
The room was as he had left it.
He set the books down on the desk, exhaling.
He took out the spirit pearl before placing it on a pillow on his table.
Alden's fingers brushed over its surface.
It was warm—alive in a way that no ordinary object should be.
It was changing.
Awakening.
