Leden [ I ]

The next morning came earlier than expected.

I barely managed to sleep during the night.

The fact that I was just hours away from one of the major events kept me restless. I woke up in the middle of the night, my heart pounding.

I couldn't go back to sleep. My mind raced with thoughts of what was coming. The gloves on my hands felt heavy, even though they were weightless.

I tossed and turned for a while.

The white ceiling above me offered no answers.

Finally, I gave up. I rolled off the bed, my body stiff from the fight and the crafting.

The dorm was dark, the moonlight barely creeping through the window.

I grabbed my boots, slipped them on, and headed out. Being up so early, I decided to go to the meeting place a bit earlier than planned.

The air outside was crisp. My breath fogged in front of me as I walked.
