It was getting dark.
A group of students returned to the dorm after training. At the entrance, one of them looked up and exclaimed: «Look! Someone is flying here!»
The students looked up, surprised. The Iron Throners rarely saw flying beasts, and there were seven of them at once! Whoever the approaching guests were, they had the nerve to disregard the important Cernos rule: the large flying animals were forbidden to trespass the school barrier.
The deputy principal, aka the superior examiner, came out to meet the distinguished guests. He had been informed about their arrival, but even so, he was ashen-faced. A cold shiver ran down his spine as the guests approached Cernos. He couldn't even imagine that he would have to meet such important people. The patriarch Hunter and the empress's student rolled in one had arrived in Cernos! The deputy principal was a bug who was to give an elephant a proper welcome.
