The work at Keeper Academy is grueling.
Ivy, Ignis, and I spend many hours traveling around campus, burning debris, and rebuilding walls. The sound of everybody working together to restore the academy is almost comforting. Justus takes charge of the rebuilding process, occasionally giving orders on where to move things. Even amongst the chaos, it feels like the air contains something new.

When the messenger from the HLH arrives, all of us barely notice it. The messenger speaks rapidly to Justus and then leaves to go back down to Stonelight. Justus then finds some students and whispers to them, which makes them run around campus to tell other people.
What is it?
The answer to my question walks toward me as Justus makes eye contact with me. He looks back and forth between Ivy, Ignis, and me.
