Darkness in Nordem

Scarlet had no idea how she got to bed or at what time but when she opened her eyes the next day, it was way past lunch. She was alone in bed and Esong's side was cold. He had probably gone to work so early in the morning.

She sat up and stretched her arms, dispensing of all the stress in her body.

"Alex, open the curtains."

She wanted to take a look at the outside view to see what the weather was like which would determine her dress code.

It was dull outside, the skies were gray and heavy rain was falling down on the rain shields.

"Heavy winter coat it is," she thought.

She wondered then where her son was on this very rainy and very cold day. "Alex, where is Justin?"

"He is currently at school mistress." The AI answered.
