Valerion pushed the heavy wooden door closed. In the meanwhile, Adrien went to retrieve the staff from the corner where he had left it the previous day; he then stretched his arms above his head and turned his neck from side to side, making it snap several times. "So", he said, "what happens today?".

Valerion placed himself next to the basket of crumpled papers; with a flick of his fingers, he made two paper balls fly into his open palm. "Let's start with the usual, just to warm up".

"Aw, you're still not telling me?", Adrien chuckled. "I'm dying with curiosity, here...".

"Oh, I know you are", Valerion laughed. "But, I am so sorry, but I cannot tell you. I've already spoiled the surprise enough for you. It's coming; you'll see very soon".

"Alright, alright", Adrien giggled as he corrected his stance and readied himself for drawing spells. "It's okay. I'm ready when you are".
