Reborn as a Snake! (2.) [COMPLETED]

{Intermission}(6). - Secrets.

         After Faofas exploits at the academy finished up and Arabor together with Odale and Vien teleported away, carrying Faofa away from the academy for him to rest for a while for his exploits, the Holy Night Order was called in, with several Knights led by Harcone arriving shortly.

The Knights helped to 'evacuate' the students of the academy, getting them all back to Yiinao, where their families awaited, before announcing the closure of the Yiinao Magic Academy for the foreseeable future, as to protect all possible evidence there may be of what had happened here.

The students who witnessed the event unfold were also instructed to keep silent about what happened at the academy, as to not raise panic and give the Holy Night Order time to investigate and figure out what actually had happened at the Academy and whether there was a reason to worry.

Harcone now approaches the Headmasters Assistant Lavia, in hopes of getting some answers...

     The sun shined down upon the ruined academy, as it walls slowly continued to crumble down. The awakening and escape of Rentrituar had truly shooken the entire place, striking fear into those that witnessed his return as well as seeding doubt among the students, on whether they wanted to continue learning at this academy.

Inside the academy, in the center where the small 'courtyard' stood, the shattered seal led down into a deep, deep hole, whose end was not visible. A shadowed figure approached the opening from the inside of the academy, before stepping out into the sunlight — being none other than Yinyun, the Jester.

Walking up to the hole, she kneeled down before looking down into the hole, sharpening her gaze down at the contents below.

<Dinyu>;
' 'Yinyun, have you retrieved the item we need from the sealed cave?' '

Dinyu asked through psychic communication. Yinyun exhaled, before stepping up and placing her right arm against her forehead.

<Yinyun>;
' 'Not yet. I am about to retrieve it. As soon as I do, I will be on my way back.' '

<Dinyu>;
' 'Good. Then I shall await your return.' '

Dinyu finished off, severing the psychic connection between them. Yinyun exhaled before looking around, checking for anyone around, before leaping into the hole, falling down into its deep, dark abyss.

Meanwhile, Harcone moved together with a small group of Holy Guards, helping the last of the academies teachers leave the academy territory, before spotting two figures off to the main entrance of the academy in the corner of his eye.

<Harcone>;
"You all lead the teachers back to Yiinao. I will have another look around to see if we've missed anyone."

<Holy Guards>;
"Understood!"

The Holy Guards replied all at once, before all of them took the remaining teachers and led them towards the Teleportation circle to get them back to Yiinao. In the meanwhile, Harcone looked towards the two individuals he had seen in the corner of his eye, before moving towards them, his armour lightly clanging against itself.

Walking up closer to the two individuals, Harcone finally could make out who they were — the Yiinao Magic Academys Headmasters Assistant Lavia Klier and.... The Headmaster himself, who was laying against a boulder infront of the academys main entrance, not a single sign of life coming from his body. Seeing this, before Harcone even said anything, he took in a deep breath, before taking a straight stance and hitting his right arm against the middle of his chestplate, lowering his head slightly afterwards.

This was a move that was known among the Holy Night Order ranks as a way to show respect to the dead and the deceased, as well as is believed to allow the ones who pass on to pass on without regrets, as it sort of is a gesture of 'clearance' — basically meaning that the individual doing this gesture to someone deceased, sort of 'clears' that dead individual from their regrets.
