our fathers to the office of the Academy’s High Master, overseer of the entire school and all its attendants and went inside.
“Morning, High Master. I do hope we’re not interrupting.”
We heard a laugh and a man turned a chair around towards the desk. “I knew I recognized that voice. Zayden! Always a delight to get a visit from you, your majesty. Everything well I hope.”
“Ah, well—” Zayden smiled as he pulled Seth in front of him and had his hands on his shoulders.
“Oh, my! It’s like looking at another you!”
“Yes, I know. The boys are very excited to be joining your great institute.”
“Twelve already? Well, we could never turn away such a great honor. I just hope they’re not going to be as much trouble as their fathers were!”
Troy laughed. “Oh, we were not that bad!”
“No. Not entirely but no one’s an angel either. We’ve been more prepared for such incidences since you left.”
“Well, I assure you—” Zayden replied. “Whatever the necessary discipline for any actions caused will justly be taken. Though, I don’t see you running into too much trouble.”
“Well, good. Let’s work on getting them settled in then. They can take a quick tour of the grounds if they’d like while we do all of the boring paperwork.”
“That is a good idea. There are some other things we need to discuss along with it.”
“Very well. Boys, access to the grounds is out the door to the right. You may feel free to see anything you’d like until we’re ready for you and I do believe they’re still serving breakfast for the early arrivals.”
“They could use that.” Zayden said. “They were in a hurry this morning. Go ahead, Seth.”
“Of course, father.” Seth respectfully replied.
He turned from them first out the door and Bryce and I followed.
“What do you think they’re going to talk about?” Bryce asked in a whisper as we walked down the hall away from the office.
I stated the obvious. “Us.”
“Maybe what we can do.” Seth said. “You know because we’re special . I doubt they’ve had kids like us here before. We’ll probably be forbidden to use our gifts at all.”
“You really think so?” I wondered it because it would have been horrible to try and do.
Bryce just laughed. “And what would you have to use yours around here for?”
“I don’t know. What if we get picked on?”
“You could easily teach them a lesson without either of your gifts.” Seth replied.
“Yeah, something tells me that’s not going to be tolerated either.” Bryce said. “This is a place with rules.”
“Then we’ll abide by them. Now let’s take that tour. We don’t know how long they’ll be. They’ll probably have to come get us.”
We nodded as we head outside into the courtyard where we could see the other three buildings clearly.
“Whoa. I could get used to this.” I muttered. “It’s better than the illustrations.”
“So, what should we do first?” Seth asked.
“Well, I’m not feeling that hungry.” Bryce said. “We could just walk around and get used to the setting.”
“Not to mention all the stares.” I added, seeing them already.
“All right. A quick tour it is.”
We walked out into the open courtyard where there were benches placed elegantly around the garden landscape and students walking the stone paths in between.
“Well, that’s obviously the dining hall.” Bryce said, looking towards the South Hall where we could see right inside from the full glass walls on the building’s face.
“And that’s probably where all the classes are.” Seth replied, looking at the three story East Hall. “But what’s that?”
The North Hall was a large one story building that was completely made of brick with only one door on its face, no windows in sight.
I figured it had to be the training hall but I had to joke because of its outside appearance compared to the other buildings. “Maybe it’s where all of the punishment happens.” I
