Two days later, just as the first light of dawn crept over the horizon, Albedo stood before the rune-etched door of Professor Luna Evervale's office.
The Academy was still mostly silent at this hour, as most students hadn't arrived as of yet. The Beastarium Spire only had the distant hum of magical incubators and the occasional mewl of various beasts that lingered around.
As for Albedo, he had transformed the Ethereal Silk Armor into a flexible skin tight combat outfit. It would allow him to move flawlessly while providing all the necessary protection.
~KNOCK~KNOCK!~
He knocked twice on the door, and its rune immediately lit up, the panel hissing open and revealing the silver glow of Luna's office.
Luna was already waiting, standing behind her desk, faint lines of fatigue beneath her eyes showing signs she hadn't slept much as of recent.
