The Emperor Arrives

As it was announced that the five schools were being attacked, the schools erupted into chaos.

Those who were frightened ran to the safety of their rooms, whilst those who were battle-hardened readied themselves for the incomers.

Raphael, of course, had called upon the two blades, twirling them in his hands as he waited for the enemies to arrive.

There were hundreds of students, mainly from the Rose, Phoenix, and Sword schools.

However, even Persephone and Rosalind called their students of the Crown and Cloud schools to stay and fight. It seemed his duel with Vaclenio had some effect.

The eager students stood in the gardens, eyes watching the entrance of the schools. Raphael stood at the head of the front lines, with those who were respected as some of the schools strongest combatants.
