Chapter 88: The ritual (2)
Calen ran around the gymnasium at top speed for over two hours - at first Isara was watching him, but she quickly got bored and started reading her book.
"I think that’s it." He stopped, slightly out of breath. "I could probably do more, but I want to do a couple more things before the ritual."
"Right." Isara closed the heavy tome, which disappeared at the snap of her fingers, and stood up. "I don’t know about you, but I’m slightly hungry - would you mind going back to eat breakfast?"
"Not at all." He shook his head. "In fact I was about to suggest that - lead on."

Cassian and Elira had already woken up and were enjoying breakfast when they reached the common room.
"Where did you go?" The alchemist asked.
"Cal wanted to check the results of the herbs he ate." Isara answered.
"Ooooh, you should have told me." Elira’s eyes lit up. "I would have loved to see what was their effect."
"Eh, it wasn’t that interesting." Calen shrugged and opened the door to his bedroom. "I’m gonna join you in a bit, but I need to change first."
Isara joined the meal as the door close behind him.
"The endurance test was kinda boring, but I liked the strength one - even though he made me create the targets." She commented.
