Epilogue

The snow had already stopped and a few flowers were showing signs of blooming, it was still two months to the end of winter however, the camellias were quite visible on the way to the restaurant.

Tomorrow would be my first day at the gym but nothing stopped me from going to help Sabrina.

It was just another normal day and as always we followed the same routine as the sun rose.

"Elora!!!"

I turned and found a beautiful pair of smiling caramel eyes staring at me.

"Oh, good morning Arthur" I replied not too surprised by her presence.

Arthur came practically every day, it would have been strange if he hadn't.

"Good morning" He sat on the chair at the counter and continued. "We have to celebrate!" He said with an air that said 'you will have to accept my invitation whatever the cost'.

I raised an eyebrow and asked. "Why should we celebrate?"

"Well...celebrate is not the right word, we should celebrate the beginning of classes and mourn the end of our days off!"

I looked deep into Arthur's eyes trying to find the answer that would tell me if he was really serious, which actually seemed to be the case.

"Serious?" I asked when in doubt.

"More seriously impossible, we really have to do this, come on Elora, I will invite some friends who will also attend the gym with us, it will be good for you to socialize with them and you have to have some fun."

*sigh*

Looks like I really had no choice. "Okay"

He jumped in glee at my response and added. "Tonight, here in the restaurant, right after sunset, okay?"

"Combined"

I said goodbye to Arthur and continued with my tasks. "It looks like I won't be rested tonight.

The time soon arrived and Arthur, along with two other people, entered the establishment and pulled me to sit with them at a table.

As it was the day before classes started at the Academy, we would stay open longer for students who would mourn the end of their vacation and celebrate their first day at the Royal Academy.

"Let me introduce them to you, this is Luan and this is Merida, my good friends and our classmates" Arthur told me as he introduced his two guests before looking back at them. " This is Elora, she is new to Marva and we met last month"

Finishing the presentations, we talked and enjoyed the dishes placed on the table about some subjects of our interests, hobbies, expectations...

Sipping my glass of juice, I turned my gaze to Merida "So you're third overall on the entrance exam, congratulations!"

Merida turned her gaze to me and replied with a smile "Thank you!" *laughs* "I no thinked that the person Arthur wanted to introduce us to would be the first place"

I smiled back and replied "It was lucky"

"Don't even say it was luck, I'm living proof of that, this assessment couldn't stop you at all, they should assess you differently, it was too easy for you!" said Arthur indignantly.

*guffaws*

We laughed heartily and had fun for a few hours before we each went home.

Royal Academy of Marva at last!
