A week had passed since Samuel Oakley, the dean of Arbor Academy, announced that classes would begin. Meaning, today was the day.

As such, long-time residents of Arbor Town had no choice but to stop their daily routines and admire the hustle and bustle of young men and women who each were no doubt on their way to the recently constructed academy.

For some of these youths, enrolling into Arbor Academy was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The commoners for the first time ever received scholarships to enroll and prove their worth.

But it wasn't just a matter of proving one's worth. It was also a matter of forging relationships with people who would no doubt form the future of the kingdom. Or would it be better to say the future of the empire now that Bosque had become a vassal of Volcan?
