[Mini Event] Solace from the Dark

NOAH

I can't wait for this no more,
My eyes have come undone

Longnight would be upon them in mere hours. After speaking with the rest of the council, they had decided to open the Arcane Academy for the entirety of Halo to seek shelter from the penetrating cold. There were some people who's homes were damaged beyond repair for the season. Even then, there were homes that people would try to take shelter in that weren't as well-equipped as the academy and the freezing temperatures and lack of sun would surely claim lives.

Noah had been working throughout the day to prepare for the mass of citizens that would rest within these walls. He set up cots in hallways, and extra beds within the already established dorms. He moved firewood to each hearth to make sure it was enough to keep stoked. While the attendees of the academy may not need the fires to keep warm, he was glad there were still fireplaces within the building for use. He made sure the kitchen and storage rooms were ready to receive extra loads of meats and dried goods that the people would bring with them.

When exhaustion set in his bones from his labor, Noah finally made his way back to the entrance of the academy. It was a great entryway, with beautifully carved doorways. He readied the few people he had rounded up and set them up with paper and writing utensils, and tasked them with taking detailed count of who would be staying. They would need to take an attendance of sort every night, to make sure that everyone stayed safe.

If my star will ever rise,
Let it be the only one
