The carriage rocked gently beneath me.
Not enough to disturb Dream Haven.
Obviously.
If an SSS-rank pillow couldn't protect me from a slightly uneven road, I would have demanded a refund from whoever created it.
I was currently lying across the entire back seat with my head resting comfortably against the silver pillow.
Alone.
Completely alone.
It was wonderful.
No Cassian standing three steps behind me.
No Father appearing with another responsibility.
No Master Valerian reminding me that sleeping was apparently not a valid training method.
And most importantly...
No Penelope waking me up.
I closed my eyes.
Peace.
Beautiful.
Temporary.
Unfortunately, the carriage was carrying me directly toward Zenith Academy.
Which meant the temporary part was rapidly becoming more important.
Penelope had already left one week ago.
Unlike me, she wasn't guaranteed admission.
Zenith automatically accepted anyone who awakened S potential or higher.
SSS.
SS.
S.
