"Sir, there are four people outside who claim to be professors from the Emberfall Universities. Should I…"

The butler replied, "She is still in her room. Should I call her down?"
Mr. Sinclair shook his head. "You go get some water for the professors. I'll go get Chloe."
With that, he quickly walked out the door.

Chloe Sinclair was at her desk, pen in hand, hunched over and furiously scribbling as her mind raced.
At that moment, the system let out a BEEP.
