Chapter 470: Looking to the Future
Tala, Rane, and Terry enjoyed their trip to Marliweather overall, and it seemed like no time at all before they gathered with Tala’s family, Verla, and Master Leighis to see Fedir off to the Academy.
His older, Academy-attending siblings were set to teleport back at the same time.
There wasn’t a lot of fanfare, and the goodbyes were less tearful than they might have been because everyone knew that all those going to the Academy would be able to come back in just a little more than a year, thanks to Tala’s generosity and arrangements. Additionally, the ones not going to the Academy would be seeing Tala in the next few months.
Still, last minute well wishes, hugs, and other parting comments passed in a bit of a blur for Tala, and before she really realized it, the time had come and the five siblings moved toward the teleportation rooms.
At nearly that exact moment, Alat made a ‘eureka’ gasping sound within Tala’s head. -Tala. Tala!-

-Anna’s about to become a Mage. She will be able to take on a mageling, and Mistress Vanga will be free to take on a new one. Since Latna likely needs a new master... Eh? Do you see?-
Tala sighed. She was doing that a lot of late. Master Leighis hasn’t made his choice. Should we really assume what he’ll choose?
-...Tala… Have you seen the women in your family?-
