It was a break to wait for those who suffered in the flight class, it is a break of maximum 30 minutes, if the case arises to wait more can be given a break of one hour.
Valery was sitting on the bed with a warm plate of vegetable porridge. She readily gave him every morsel of food.
"Yes, well, I guess I'm feeling more sad than I thought I would," Valery said, now used to Victor not responding to her.
"She was a good girl, I told her more than once that we couldn't take care of her and that it would be best to return her to the human village. That maybe, someone would find her and take care of her" Valery sighed with regret for her past words.
"She always refused more than once. In the end I had no choice but to help her take care of her, but she was the one who took care of everything, from learning to cook to bathing her. I just helped her as much as I could, like feeding her for example".
Valery smiled and gave him a spoonful of food, smiling remembering that little girl she had to feed so long ago. The image of that little girl overlapped with the image of Victor.
Valery put the now empty plate of food on the table next to the bed.
"I would just watch you wilt, like a flower dying before the force of nature" Valery said without any care or affection.
Victor, was a pet to Valery. His death was something she didn't care about, it was something she had already accepted since she bought him, he was a temporary thing in her life.
She could be kind but she is also indifferent by nature.

Valery walked downstairs, Katerin approached Valery and hugged her arm as she ate.
"Are you better?"
"No, but maybe in a few years I will be. Valery thank you for going yesterday, I don't know what would have become of me if you hadn't been with me." Katerin squeezed his arm tightly.
Valery squeezed her arm tightly, she would always be there to support her friend whenever she needed it. They slowed down but still made it to class in time for class to start.
The class is inside the mountain, in one of the deepest parts of the mountain. On the walls of the mountain were cages where you could see magical beasts and adult animals.
Each of the caged creatures was as aggressive as they could be at the sight of prey they could eat, especially the magical beasts. Seeing adult magical beasts is as rare as finding a needle in a haystack.
Since beasts can take thousands or hundreds of years to reach their adult stage, besides vampires they are the only beings that also have magical abilities. Hence their characteristic name.
Near Valery stood a lightning lion, its fur was a bluish-green shade, its mane was blue with yellow. Its claws are transparent and have the shape of a diamond. Inside these claws the lightning would be kept, but right now its claws were empty.
Behind the lion was a long and deep path. So that they could go out in the examinations for the vampires of the last year, 18 years. In the hunting and tracking class.
"Look how well you've all grown up," said a teacher in comfortable ranger-like clothes. A beige button down shirt with chest pockets. A brown short trousers with many other pockets. At his waist were two sheathed daggers.
A Marquis of high status, who enjoys the house and solitude. His territory is in the Amazon area and is one of the few territories that are warriors.
"I still remember you..." he points to Antoni and Harry.
Who at 17, in their school year. Entered here and unleashed a magical beast to test themselves in a hunting exam. Of course it was Harry's fault and Antony was the one who followed him.
"I'm sorry professor, I was just an immature child at the time" Harry said sternly and guiltily.
The professor looked at him for a second and his gaze seemed to smile at his remarkable change in personality compared to his youth.
"Okay so transfomation? Well it's simple to explain but difficult to explain."
"We vampires, we can transform into any animal, but we can't transform into any magical beast, so don't waste your time. Trying to prove yourself and achieve the impossible."
"Well, the first method I'll show you is simple. Study a beast, study it in the most primitive way there is, see how it shares itself while it eats, while it sleeps, while it hunts among many other things..."
The professor approached a table where there were several piles of papers.
The teacher went to a table where there were several piles of papers. "Well come and choose one of the beasts that you want, now every time it is time for my class you will go to the location of one of these maps, you will observe and imitate the animal that you chose" The teacher seeing that no one came knocked the table twice and everyone went directly to read the names that were on each map.
Valery sat down and looked at each pile of papers, they all had locations of various animal nests. There were wolves, bats, rats, moles, ect.
Many different kinds of animals, but Valery chose one of her favorites.
Bats.
The reason is simple, her mother always turned into a bat and since she was a baby she always enjoyed watching her transform into a bat. Once her mother told her that it was the only way for her to stop crying.
Valery picked up one of the maps, looking at the location of the nearby bat habitat. Several other companions also had a map similar to hers but with different locations.
Their habitat was a cave near the foot of this mountain.
"For those of you who have already taken your map you can go, remember to come back in 3 hours".
