The first week Karla, Warren, and Raven had been back, they had been granted a leave on lessons. After all, Warren and Raven had just graduated from high school and that was an accomplishment of some note. Even Lucivar had announced his morning exercises for the week were voluntary only, making the three of them (okay, Raven and Warren) immediately ( Read more... )

Karla had a feeling this talk was not going to go well...

( What we risked... )

[Immediately follows this.]Karla took a few seconds to compose herself, wiping her tears away with impatient hands.
