13 :Hey, Don't touch the Hair!
~Harley's POV~
After the Professor gave out pointers on what we need to prepare for the travel we are about to go, we all spilt up and went to our original rooms.
I walked down the hallway with something on my mind. I still can't process what happened earlier. All I was doing was enjoying the rain then the next thing I knew we are already going to the Palace next thing this morning.
I still wonder why Gwen was crying in the middle of the rain and suddenly changed to be a determined lady. I'm still boggled. Is it normal for women to be like that? They cry then suddenly they become serious or happy?
"Ugh. I'll never understand them."
I went inside my room and went to take a shower first before getting to bed to avoid getting a cold. He have a really long travel to make before we can perform at the Magical Parade. I guess it'll be worth it because of the fun and the opportunity given to us to show our skills. In which I already possess.
I went out the shower to dry up and then I saw something in the mirror. It was a sight that I never expected.
"Woah, I never expected to be this handsome after a shower."
I took a good look at myself and I look good. I swear if I can show the Empire I'm made of, they'll probably hire me as the Empire's Magician or even better "The Handsome General" of the Empire. Sounds so good to me.
*yawns*
"Right I need to sleep. I need to be the earliest on all of them."
I went to bed and as I was about to close my eyes. I heard a strange thud on my window. And as a man, I ignored it its probably the wind swinging by.
*thunderclaps*

~Valir's POV~
"Oh, is it morning already?"
As I opened my eyes and peeked through my window, it is morning. I stood up and prepared my things for the travel. I grabbed a bag for all the essentials I need because we don't know what we might encounter in the way.
"I'm ready now."
I went outside the halls and locked my room. I walked towards the main entrance and I saw Eudora going out aswell. So I went to her so we can go to the meeting place the same time.
"Morning Eudora."
"Morning Valir, You ready for the journey?" Eudora asked.
"Well, I have my things here and my magic by my side so I think I'm ready."
"Good then. Shall we go?" Eudora added.
We walked outside the campus and saw the New Fruit shops open. We went there to browse some food that we can bring to share with everyone that's coming.
"I guess these should be enough." Eudora said while bringing two bags of fruit.
"Eeeeh, I guess."
We thank the shop keepers and left the stores and went to the meeting spot where the Professor told us to be at. The Enchanted Wishing Well near the river. That's the path directing to the City of Antonniere. A city of progress and technology. Magic isn't big there as its the opposite. Here magic is essential while there technology is.
As we went near the wishing well we saw Guinevere and Professor Gord talking about something. Its probably what path we will take to Antonniere.
"Sorry we are late! We just bought some fruits for the trip!" Eudora shouted while waving at them.
"Oh! Come here quickly then!" Guinvere replied.
We went to them and exhausted from bringing the bags. We took a short rest and talked about what will be our plan for the trip in Antonniere that the Professor and Guinevere talked about earlier.
Time passed and we noticed its getting hot already and someone is missing. And I knew who was missing.
"What time is it?! It was clear I said we will meet here at exactly rise of dawn?!" Professor implied.
"Where could he be?" Guinevere questioned.
*sighs*
As expected from him. Again he is late from anything. From our meetings and classes. That's him Mr.Late Harley.
A few minutes later I saw a short silhouette walking towards us. It was him. We all looked mad at him and I think I know what will happen to him. As he went near us, we saw him very differently. We thought he was late because he had to prepare his face but its the complete opposite and it was HILARIOUS.
"What happened to you?!" Guinevere asked with disgust.
"I was up all night, checking on what creature was stalking me at sleep. I couldn't sleep". Harley said.
"Look at your hair Harley its so rough" Eudora implied while stroking Harley' hair.
"Hey, don't touch the hair. Its already ugly" Harley irritably replied.
We all laughed and Harley looks so annoyed. Then the Professor replied to his aid and complaints.
"That's no excuse, Mister. We have to leave now." The Professor said.
So we all turned our backs to start walking and we gave Harley the bags of fruits to carry.
"W-what is this?!" Harley shouted.
"Something to make you awake in our journey"
"B-but I need sleep!" Harley plead.
We continued walking leaving him behind.
"Hey guys wait for me!" Harley ran as he carried the bags with his weak body.
We all up in front was just teasing him and it was again HILARIOUS. He went up to us crying like a baby so we carried it for him and Guinevere casted a spell to make him float in our journey so he can sleep.
"Drop him later Guinevere, okay"
"I know so he can have a lesson tee~hee~hee" Guinevere replied.
We continued to the path to Antonniere to Dr. Rooney's lab for Diggie. I hope we are welcomed there as the Professor expected and if not we can still hide right? Mages going to a city where magic doesn't exist. I mean what could possibly go wrong right?

~Someone's POV~
"Should we go now?"
"No, we must follow them."
"But I thought we have to observe them here only?"
"Yes, but we must know that they can be safely go to the Empire without harm."
"If that's what you wish."
