One week later.
Ailwin, Braeden and Kaze landed in imperial city with two weeks to spare before Ailwin has to leave to meet with his father. Thinking of surprising Mika, Ailwin headed straight for the imperial academy.
"Oh man, this is going to bring back some good times..." Braeden looked at the school's gates and smiled. Remembering his school days, had Braeden wanting to be a student again.
"Don't go overboard and get into trouble. Remember we need to leave here in two weeks. I don't want to be any where near my father for an extended period of time." Ailwin sighed, wishing he was back at home.
"Come on, don't you miss your love..." Braeden nudged Ailwin, laughing at the never ending joke of Ailwin's confessing his love to Mika.
"Laugh all you want, but at least I have a girlfriend. All you got is your hand..." Ailwin patted his best friend on the back before entering the school, "...come on Kaze, we have people waiting for us."
