Damien watched Kingston disappear into the black portal. He took a deep breath and waved to Charles and the rest of the staff.
"See you later, guys," he said, stepping into the portal after the wolf with Ahara following closely behind him.
Unlike what he was expecting, his foot stepped on hard ground on the other side where a crowd of Gibbits was stationed in a systematic order. They were forming queues aligning with portals that led into a large stone wall surrounding the academy. It extended high up into the skies, and when Damien raised his head to look where it reached, his eyes were burned by the sun's rays before he saw the walls top.
Rubbing his eyes, he decided to focus on the school later and looked around him instead. Everywhere his eyes reached, Damien could see teens around his age standing with their parents, waiting for their chance to enter the school's walls.
Grateful to Kingston for his fake family idea, he glanced at the other families around them.
