Noah's mind was on the abyss as he walked through the corridors, Miss Lelie's office long behind him.
'Just what kind of place is the abyss?'
He knew he'd passed through the abyss with his entire class when they'd been summoned, but he couldn't remember much. All he could remember was the endless dark. And the presence.
That was something he was sure he could never forget. The presence had touched his soul, and uttered those damned words.
"You are worthy."
He exhaled, trying to put the whole thing out of his mind. After all, he had more important things to focus on. Things like Osiris Lawless.
He looked up as he walked out of the hall and into the library's reception area, to see Professor Cecilia standing there, looking like she had been waiting for some time.
"Professor."
She looked up, catching sight of him, and a wave of relief spread through her face, before she hid it.
"Noah." She walked towards him, her voice urgent. "Come with me."
