Evaline:
By the time the weekend faded into Monday morning, I was ready to slip back into my routine as a student of Silver Moon Academy.
Monday passed without incident - smooth lectures, a quick lunch, and quiet evenings filled with finishing touches on the Runes project. Tuesday mirrored it with the same unbothered rhythm.
I got so absorbed that I almost forgot that just a days ago, I had been pinned to a hotel bed by a drunken Rogue Alpha King with the strength of a boulder and the grace of a toddler.
By Wednesday morning, the bump on my forehead completely disappeared as the balm worked its quiet magic over time. I examined myself in the mirror, tilting my head left and right to make sure the evidence was truly gone. Satisfied, I pulled my hair into a neat braid and headed out.
