Rite of passage (1)
Esdras woke up on the day of the Rite of Passage feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. He got dressed and headed to the dining hall for breakfast. Most of the other apprentices are too nervous to eat, but Esdras and his friends, David, Celine, Vivi, and Dylen, manage to eat and rest properly.
As they stood in line, Esdras couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and wonder. He had never seen anything like this before. The anticipation grew as he waited for his number to be called. It was a very fun atmosphere this time.
After breakfast, they are escorted to a great courtyard where they are given number badges and told to stand in line. They are only allowed to respond after their number is called. Those who are called are taken to the stables where a true mage waits with a Pegasus. All the apprentices are separated from one another and given only a bag of rations containing some jerky, cheese, and water.
