Sneaking Out

Ever since Arix and Drexel caused a disturbance at IRMA and gave Kares a solid beating, Krylak had kept them on lockdown to prevent any Dragon clan retaliation.

For twenty long days, they stayed within their clan's territory, dutifully attending online classes.

Too much idle time, however, makes people restless.

"Arix, aren't you bored?" Drexel asked, sprawled out on the desk.

"What do you think? It's been almost 20 days, and we haven't been out for fun," Arix replied, looking like a deflated little tiger on the verge of a tantrum.

"When will these days end?" Drexel pouted, balancing a pen on his lips.

"Uncle Krylak said he'd let us out before the Blessing Ceremony. But it's only five days away, and we're still stuck here," Arix complained, feeling like Krylak was breaking his promise.

"Adults never keep their promises," Drexel sighed, letting the pen drop from his lips in frustration.
