November 15
12:00 pm
EGAES Great Hall

"Are you sure that you're over it, over her?" Lukas asked.

"Huh?" Maxwell's head shot up at the question. "Sorry I was thinking about-"

"Abigail." The two boys sighed.

"mm...Yeah." Maxwell mumbled, the tips of his ears turning faintly pink.

"It's okay, mate. But she's gone. You have to accept that. Like she was able to accept that her friends were gone those years ago." Malcolm said.

"Yeah...I guess I need to accept it." Maxwell trailed off.

The two boys sighed once again. Suddenly Lukas turned and whispered something to Malcolm.

"Hey, where's Beri?"

"I think he's in the library again. Probably looking for any way to get Abigail and Fleur back." Malcolm muttered back.

"Okay..." Lukas muttered. "Mate, you want to get to class?" He asked Maxwell.

Maxwell grunted in response.

"I'll take that as a yes." Lukas said. He got up, and dragged Malcolm and Maxwell out of the Great Hall with him.

Sometime in November
Celia

"Tep! I'm boredddd!" Abigail whined. There was no way to tell time in Celia, the sun was always up. She had an internal clock built up, so she guessed it was in November though.

"When are you not, Ail?" Imhotep replied, laughing slightly.

"We should play a game!" Abigail suggested.

"Like what? Some more Remember Remember?" Imhotep asked.

"Yeah! Me first!" Abigail perked up again.

"Okay...um...I already know why you came here. And about some of your family and friends. And your school, which by the way sounds awesome! So...what's one thing you regret leaving?" He asked.

She sobered instantly. "Um...my best friend, Maxwell. I sorta liked him too, but the last time I saw him, he said he hated me..." She mumbled.

Imhotep was startled. "Oh...Ail, I'm so sorry." He said softly. He wrapped his arms around her thin frame in a bear hug. She sank into the embrace.

"What about you, Tep?" She asked softly. He sighed.

"I left my family...They're probably okay now. I mean, my sacrifice meant they would be well off until death. They're well provided for. But my mother, and sisters...I miss them terribly." He murmured. They broke apart.
