Six Months Had Passed...

Just as Rutherford had said it, six months passed before they could even know it.

A lot had taken place in the six months that Howard was away but today was the last day of the hectic academic year at the Royal Academy.

The boys were relieved that they had survived this stressful time and soon would get to go home.

They would have to spend the night in their dormitories as the classes had ended in the evening.

However, early tomorrow morning, numerous carriages would be en route to Amarthea.

An entire year's worth of education had been crammed into just half a year with almost no breaks for the children.

Therefore, they would be allowed to stay at home for the next two weeks before they had to return to the Academy for the second half of this hectic year.
