Monologue

Zach had planned to find Nora, the rest of his familiars, and his friends after waking up, but when the principal asked him if he wanted to hold his speech right now, he figured he might as well.

While the principal called a halt to all the lessons and asked everyone to gather in the auditorium, Yanael helped Zach clean up and get ready to stand in front of a crowd. Zach wasn't nervous, but compared to last time he held a speech at the Academy, he had grown a lot. His words would affect the other students, and going into the world, his reputation, the words he speaks, and the actions he takes would affect how others view and interact with him.

'Maybe I should have waited a little and written something proper?' Zach already had an idea of what he wanted to say, but maybe it wouldn't have been so bad to come up with a proper speech and not just go for it.
