Assailants

As soon as they left the first year building, Atticus and Kael met with Ember in the beautiful expansive garden.

They had each made this meeting a routine.

Immediately after lectures, the trio would meet in the garden for a short period of about 30 minutes before each of them would feel the itch of not training for so long and would separate right after.

And during these meetings, most times Kael had always left early, leaving both Atticus and Ember behind.

Atticus had always been the one doing the talking during these meetings, as both Ember and Kael were incredibly silent. Each of them spoke only when they wanted to and when it was needed.

Atticus had gotten used to handling just one of them, but with both of them, it was weird.

And just as expected, today Kael had left first, just like the other times. And after a few minutes of speaking to Ember, she also expressed her desire to leave and go train.
