This was it, the end. Lyra had waited many months for this: the chance to go to Russia. She would learn many new things maybe even meet new friends.
She had taken all of he exams, said goodbye to all her friends, and prepared for the long journy home.
Yet still she would miss her friends and eqlipse. The years to come would be brutal without them to help guide her.
But she would write letters and they would return them. And when she did return they would be grown, and hopefully they would remember each other.
This was not the end, but a new beginning.
When she returned she would be preparing to marry Theodore, and, with God's grace, learning her role as Lady Black.
She returned home on the train and walked into her Grandfather's room.
Lyra:Grandfather, I have a month left in England before I travel to Russia. I will be 12 soon, and I wish to start my ascetic to Heiress Black now as I will not be back for 5 years.
Argurgus: All you need is in this bag and in your brain of course. When you come back, I will have everything you need to be Lady Black waiting for you.
Lyra began to cry, as he handed her the bag.
Lyra: What if I'm no good? What if I fail?
Argurgus: Lyra Casstopia, you will fail, it is a part of learning, but the important part of failing is to fix your mistakes and try again.
Without any effort, you will fail at everything, but with hope and effort you will be exactly what you are meant to be: a star. And stars shine especially among those who are preticularly dull.
Now Lyra you will go to Russia, you will do your best, and you will make me proud.
Upon your arrival home, not only will you prepare your future as Lady Black, you will marry Thedore Nott securing your future as the head of the family.
Lyra's face showed determination and pride as she walked out of the room that day.
However the words stayed with her as far ahead as her 17th birthday which marked her return to Britan as her Grandfather's condition worsened.
But for now she would stay in Russia under the bridge of Education.
