Alex and Kremlin appeared above the academy grounds in a flash of golden light.
The evening sky stretched endlessly above them as countless clouds drifted slowly across the horizon. Far below, students continued their daily routines throughout the academy without the slightest awareness of what was occurring above their heads. Some trained with swords and magic in the open fields while others moved between classrooms and residential buildings.
None of them noticed the two figures standing silently in the sky.
A hidden layer of space concealed their existence completely. Even if someone happened to glance upward at that exact moment, they would see nothing except drifting clouds and fading sunlight.
For several minutes, silence remained between them.
