SEQUOIA'S POV
In the days that followed, life at the Academy resumed its normal pace. We focused on our studies and training, determined to hone our gifts and abilities to protect ourselves and others. Our experiences in Luvia had deepened my understanding of the world, and I am more determined than ever to be prepared for any challenges that may come our way.
As the days passed, Warren and I grew closer through our shared classes and shared lunches at the cafeteria. We found common interests and enjoyed each other's company. Xhan, who had become a good friend of ours, joined us at the table during lunchtime, creating a friendly and lively atmosphere.
