Graduation

Arthur's point of view:

Just as time was ethereal, fate, if it exists, followed its course without waiting for anyone.

Soon, the end of our second year arrived and finally everyone who entered the academy that year was graduating.

Young men and women were now about to enter adulthood and their responsibilities only increased.

Waiting for the event to begin in the Academy's main square, I waited alongside Merida and the others.

In that year we made a kind of pact between us and we decided to continue together, waiting for that person to come back.

We would all be involved in this storm that was approaching sooner or later and it didn't hurt to build our network of allies right now.

"Attention everyone!" At that moment, Professor Breno's voice was heard reverberating throughout the square. "Two years have passed and I have had the opportunity to personally see the growth and development of all of you, today we may be much smaller in numbers but I am sure of the ability that each of you have and I know that you will be great figures in our Kingdom in the future, now, let's officially start the graduation of all of you"

Listening to Professor Breno's words, I couldn't help but nod slightly in agreement, we really have grown a lot since we passed through those gates and although we are few, about 40 students currently, it was possible to see a bright future for the new generation.

The graduation ceremony lasted all day.

Seeing the sky reddened, I turned my gaze to the other three and thought for a moment before asking. "How about we go to that place for celebrate?"

The three of them simultaneously turned their gazes to me and didn't hesitate much to respond.

"Excellent"

"Sure"

"We will"

We took the carriage back to the shopping district and walked to that familiar place.

Seeing the beautiful sign with the words 'Lily of the Valley Restaurant' exuding magnificence, we did not hesitate to enter the establishment and place our order.

The owner of the restaurant was no longer the same, but he was always our meeting point.

We drank and ate for the rest of the night, reminiscing about the fun and happy times we'd had since we first met.

Today, we had all come of age and to celebrate, we spent a sleepless night, officially saying goodbye to our adolescence.
