𝐓he day of brielles life will never be complete without the intense nightmares, daydreams and chaos. which now leads us to the daydream I am having right now.
The headmaster's stern voice echoed through the room, each word laden with a weight that made the air around me feel heavy. "Do you think you're special? That you cannot be replaced?" His tone was not accusatory but contemplative, as if addressing more than just me. Was I eavesdropping on a conversation meant for someone else?
"I gave you tools to steal the master bolt, only to watch it taken from you," he continued, his disappointment palpable. It was clear he was recounting a pivotal moment, one that had perhaps altered the course of events significantly. "That mistake has been corrected."
His words hung in the air, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. "But there is too much at stake for you to fail me again," he asserted firmly, his voice now tinged with urgency.

Show me what you are capable of."

Nearby, Grover's head popped out of the sunroof, his perspective quite different from mine at ground level. "We're almost there," he announced with his usual optimism, reminding me that despite whatever challenges lay ahead, there was always a journey to continue.
As the sun dipped low over the horizon, casting a warm, amber glow across the landscape, Luke leaned in with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Slept well, bonny?" he quipped, his voice carrying a hint of playful challenge.
