Time-stamp: 10th day of fall 512
The walk up the mountain was full of empty thoughts as Red tried to keeps his nerves in line. There was a odd sense of honor and glory in the walk, but maybe that was simply the excitement of what was to come... or at least he hoped would come. Memories of watching the Endal who took to the sky in training for flightleader academy was always a highlight of Red's childhood. The boy had spent many a hour watching and wishing that he could one day join the ranks, and by some strange fate here he stood or walked.
Finally making it to the academy site the young Endal looked over what he hoped would be the place that he gained new skills, developed old ones, and became what he had always dreamed of. 'well, arn't you going in?' came the voice Red had come to know so well in his head.
'yes' he answer shortly Daghul had been pestering him all day about this, well really all week as Red saw it fit to delay the trip after their hunt ordeal 'I'm just taking my time' he added as to not hurt the Wind Eagle's feelings. moving forward up a small set of steps towards the front door Red couldn't help but feel a presence of power standing at such a place. Who knew how many heroes stood in this same spot.
There were only a few things that really moved Red in this world, and by move I mean make him feel like a little kid and the history of heroes was one of the things that did it. There was so much he could learn here, and maybe even find his spot in the world. The door way was the only thing stopping him, well that and getting accepted. Moving up to the doors which stood at least ten feet or so he thought he pushed them open and entered into the hall.
The Grand Hall was just that... grand. It told Red of a world he didn't really fit into. a world full of fancy clothes, and formal parties with people from all over the Reach, and not just anyone but important people. He was important now, Red was Endal he just never really seemed to get used to the idea. Seeing the door from across the way Red took the last few steps and knocked on the door.
after not hearing a response Red pushed in open to find Damien sitting at his desk "excuse me sir, I'm here to apply for the academy?"
