Zeph's POV
We stepped outside the portal in our realm. Xin Li, Ralph, Sarim, and Lavaria Sensei were with us. Rest had decided to stay back including Alvene. Most of the seniors were staying back to defend The Institute.
Royal Carriages with Royal guards were waiting to transport us safely to our houses. Xin Li had sent the message ahead and made sure that everything was taken care of before we arrived.
Royal Guards ensured our Senseis that they will drop us safely at our homes.
"Be careful, boys and stay safe. I know you people can handle yourselves. Keep your families safe as well. We will call you back once the situation is bit settled and we have ensured it's secure to be back." Lavaria Sensei instructed us. We nodded as they bid us farewell and went back through the portal.
"You people are always welcome at my house and the castle. If you ever need help, don't hesitate to ask." Xin Li told us as he embraced both of us.
