Her dorm was a cozy space, its walls are adorned with runic tapestries and glowing orbs that cast a soft light over her bunk, where she kept her journals and rune sketches.
Over a meal of spiced bread and herb-roasted meat, her roommates teased her about her relentless study habits, but their warmth grounded her.
Lyra savored the moment when her thoughts drifted to her bond with Salaris. Her self-driven mission was to master a multi-layered shadow rune, a complex sigil to enhance Salaris’s stealth and agility, a challenge that will stretch her creativity and deepen her bond.
She scribbled ideas in her journal, her ambition was a quiet fire burning brighter with each stroke.
Kelvin and Darius ate in the male dormitory’s common room, a rowdy space where tamers traded stories and tossed soulstones in friendly wagers.
Their shared room was cramped with training gear, runic sketches, and the faint scent of scorched leather, was a haven of chaos and camaraderie. Kelvin meditated with Xerion, sitting on the floor, feeling their bond pulse like a heartbeat, Xerion’s fire was a warm anchor.
Darius sparred with Rhoam in the corner, their playful tussle was Rhoam’s plates clashing against Darius’s soulstone which charged punches and sharpened their synchronization.
While in the dormitory Kelvin’s thoughts returned to Riven’s fragile smile which sparked up a plan to mentor struggling tamers, a mission to grow through service.
After lunch, they reunited for Master Torren’s combat seminar in the Obsidian Yard. Torren drilled them on adaptive Convergences, emphasizing flexibility in battle.
