Blackout 1

It's well past midnight when I tell Cyryl and Arlene goodbye as we leave with our entourage.

It takes us a while to get home from the vehicles to the plane and the vehicles again that escort us to back to the palace.

It's really quiet as we step in and it makes me remember sneaking in when I was younger after a night out with Cyryl. He always encouraged fun outside these huge palace walls. Funny how some people will kill to get in while we've been trapped behind these walls our entire lives.

''Training starts by 8 tomorrow, bright and early,'' Erlan tells me and I can't help but grumble inwardly. Yavanna is at peace, there are no threats, father has made sure of that. So I see no reason why I should be up at the crack of dawn training. On weekends like this I just want to sleep in.
