Just as before, Selena wakes the party with a silver bell. Drinking wine straight from the bottle as they exit their rooms, she says, "Excellent, you're awake. Come now. Breakfast must be quick. I plan to leave by nine O'clock." It appears to be fifteen minutes after eight.
[OOC: Daos can prepare new spells]

Daos isn't terribly hungry anyway, so he heads to the breakfast table, grabs a few quick things to eat, and then consumes them hastily.

(OOC: I'll keep Daos' spells the same for now.)

Caelynn grabs a quick breakfast after she wakes up and gets dressed before meeting Daos and the others. She covers her mouth as she yawns.

Daos and Caelynn finish their breakfast and join with Meine and Valerie in the Teleportation Chamber--a large, heavily guarded room with a teleportation circle on the ground. Selena is waiting there, and pulls out some chalks and inks from a pouch when they arrive.
"Excellent. Now, remember the plan," she says, beginning to draw a separate circle on an empty part of the floor. "Find Trite, figure out why the Night's Breath wants her dead, and return here."

"And through what means are we to return when we have completed the mission?" Daos asks.

"I'll come to the Academy with you and wait in the teleportation chamber," Miss Serpentine explains. "When you've gathered the information we need, I'll cast the spell again, and we'll return here."

"Will you be safe there, outside the country and the protection of the king's men?" Daos wonders.

"To even cast the spell I'm using now, I'd have to be nearly twice as powerful as most mages become in their lifetime," Serpentine says, an obvious tinge of annoyance in her tone. "I think I'll be fine."

Daos frowns as he recalls how she very nearly died at the hands of that fey-touched assassin, but doesn't argue.

"You'll get use to her confidence," Caelynn says in amusement. "But if danger heads her way, she'll take care of herself."

"I appreciate your confidence, Caelynn," Selena says, putting the finishing touches on the circle. It glows with a purple light, and Selena gestures for the party to enter. "Quickly--it only lasts a few seconds."

Steadying himself--he had never traveled in this manner before and wasn't sure what to expect--Daos steps into the circle.

The circle's teleportation is a bit disorienting. There's no flash of light, or journey through a portal to indicate that you're traveling a great distance in a few moments. You step onto the circle, blink, and find yourself in a completely different place. The Grand Academy's teleportation chamber is decorated with images of gold and silver dragons painted onto the walls, and its circle is glowing with the same purple light that Selena's did. It's also filled with a loud, shrill noise that leaves everyone clutching their ears.
"Flippin' Elsh, what is that?!" Meine shouts above the noise.
"An Alarm spell, most likely!" Miss Serpentine answers, as three armed guards rush into the room. They wear gold-colored armor, purple scarves, and carry greatswords.
"Who are you? What's your business here?" one of them says, pointing her sword towards the party.

"WE'RE HERE ON BEHALF OF THE KING OF FOCCU!" Daos shouts over the din, covering his ears.

The guard mutters a Draconic curse as the noise fades. Returning to the Elvish tongue, she says, "Well, what does the King want with the Academy that he couldn't send a letter ahead? And can it wait a day or two? We're in the middle of a crisis."
