Last Day

"This is for everything you all have done for me," I said as I pushed the five boxes toward my assistants.

This is my last day at the clinic. Tomorrow, the gate will open, and I will leave through it.

"You don't have to give this to us, Healer Brock. We have learned so much from you that we have never learned from anyone," said Jex and tried to push the box toward me, but I pushed it back.

"Keep it. Consider this a gift from a teacher," I said to them. 

A few minutes later, I watched them leave the house before turning away from the window.

I am going to miss them; miss Javelin and the relaxing month I have.

I am unwilling to leave, but excited about tomorrow. I have heard so much about the place and I felt like it could help me.

This place had given me the rest I needed to face the challenges that lie beyond the gate.
