Professor Fauna was on an expedition to Paradise, so the Xenobiology class that was supposed to take place was suspended and we were given free time to enjoy!
But my mind kept drifting to Professor Vale's summons. Despite my unease, I was determined to face whatever awaited me.
So, I gathered my things and headed for Vale's office. Each step felt heavier than the last, memories of the "devil" stories echoing in my head.
The office matched Vale's reputation. Books lined every wall, their ancient spines adding to the room's oppressive atmosphere. Vale sat behind his desk, his sharp eyes following my every move.
"Levias Drake, sit." His voice carried an undertone I couldn't quite read.
I took the chair across from him, trying not to fidget under his gaze. The silence stretched uncomfortably long before he spoke again.
