10 To Enter the Academy 2 (1/2)
Bidding his goodbyes to his younger siblings was not easy. They were whining for him to not leave the residence, which was obviously just an act for Eddra to ask what things do they want to receive once he got back home. These beasts were growing much clever than Eddra thought.
”Be safe on the road, dearest brother!” The three children shouted in unison of which he replied with a nod as Eddra walked inside the carriage prepared by his mother.
'A dagger... A bow and arrows... A ragged doll...,' Eddra recited the three things they wished for. Noticing that Everette did not ask for anything, Eddra suddenly felt the urge to went back outside and question him.
However, seeing the young man waving his hand and smiling widely, Eddra thought that maybe Everette purposely did so. Despite this, it felt unfair to Eddra if he would leave behind his second brother. Guess he just needed to think of an item Everette would love to receive.

Ding!
[Location: Small City of Aurora]
The dimness slowly crept in the sky, and soon, the sun of which was providing light was replaced by the moon; beckoned by the stars shining in infinite patterns through the dark tranquility of the sky.
And to the opposite of the sky, on land, the streetlights were alined from the busy streets they were passing through, dwindling and flickering as they became the source of illumination to the people.
The warmth that was held by the sunlight was nowhere to be felt, and the cool breeze took place as it swept through, granting the relief from the hot day that passed.

Eddra stared at the time duration of the plate. He left when he had finished his meal for an hour, and another hour for completing his preparation. Calculating the time he was riding the carriage, 10 hours had passed when he left the residence.
Putting his elbow on the armrest, he leaned his chin on his palm. He insisted to not make any long stops nor rest to reach their destination much faster, however, Eddra felt his eyelids were starting to get heavy and his body was longing for something soft to lay down on. It would soon be midnight, and certainly, the coachman must have been craving for a rest, too...
Unable to held it longer, he ordered the man driving the carriage to halt. ”Let's take a rest in that inn,” Eddra commanded to the coachman, who then smoothly steered the vehicle through the resting place.
Losing his patience to wait for the coachman to escort him out, Eddra pushed the door of the carriage and simply stormed inside the inn. Soon as he entered, Eddra was greeted with warmth coming from the fireplace of the lobby. Walking straight, Eddra went to the keeper and asking for two separate rooms for him and his coachman.
Both of them were escorted shortly after paying for a day of stay. With a soft push to the room provided to him and locking the door behind him, Eddra settled down the drowsy feeling in him.
...
Stumbling on the floor from the side of his bed, Eddra woke up from the sudden loud crowing before his ears. With a hand on his ear, Eddra scanned the room he rented where he saw the rooster circling and crowing.
”Is this a way to wake the customers?” Eddra questioned the innocent rooster that stopped running around and titled his head on Eddra's direction.
Ignoring it, he noticed that he had overslept when Eddra took a glanced on the duration that continuously decreasing in the plate.

'... I slept for too long.' Eddra thought that perhaps the reason why he was so tired to the point he slept for 11 hours was the routine he had done yesterday before they leave the residence.
”Oh,” was his straight reaction when he saw that the time duration left was currently half an hour.
Eddra crawled back to his bed, not minding the plate and rested his exhausted body along with the noisy rooster. Although surprisingly he felt no pain, Eddra knew that his energy was drained from the extreme stamina exercise.
As soon as he felt the soft bed, the door made a loud bam and it was pushed wide open, revealing a little girl. ”Pony! What heaven's sake are you doing there?” She stormed in.
When she fully noticed Eddra who was laying on the bed, she screamed on top of her lungs, ”Ahh! A dead body?!” Her shouts echoed through the entire room. Eddra simply hoped that nobody heard her loudmouth.
