Dune was leaving the academy territory. It was a few hours before he had his first trial, so he wanted to say goodbye to Ezra, Liam, and Ned.
Atlas was with him, and they both walked together to the academy gates where the others were waiting.
"Finally, the heroes arrive," Ezra called out, giving a small smile. "Took you long enough."
"Yeah, we thought you got lost, like always," Liam added, smirking.
Dune shrugged, these two only got one line. "Just making sure we didn't forget anything."
"Good luck out there," Ned said quietly. "Both of you."
Atlas nodded. " We'll make it through, somehow."
"Just remember, you've got us rooting for you," Ezra said. "Don't do anything crazy Dune."
"Yeah," Liam added. "We'll be rejoining the academy soon and taking the test again. This time, we'll not fail."
"Just to fail again," Dune chuckled .
