Epilogue
*
Teren looked at the two children, sitting with their Companions in the field. It had been a great shock to the Heralds to return triumphant from their bandit hunt to find a new trainee, with a new gift, in the colegium.
"An ice creator." He said quietly to himself. "And a child to boot. Why is this job never dull?"
"You wouldn't enjoy it if it was." Herald Dirk was sitting behind him. "Did you know that he named his Companion Frost?"
"Appropriate. Did you know they're requesting a special gifts teacher?"
"Already? Bright Lady, they will be the youngest Heralds in history, even if they did take four years to graduate." Dirk was amused.
Teren sighed. "Especially since they're joining the rest of the Colegium next year."

Kella and Tran sat in the field with Sterran and Frost.
"Do you think we should tell them we want to Graduate early?" Kella asked, grinning.
Tran smiled back. The bruises had faded completely, and his thin face had filled out in the month he had spent in the colegium. "Nah. Let's leave them their illusions."

The End

Note:
(I think) this is a prequel to a story about Kella and Tran as adults. I don't have a title yet, or a plot, (suggestions welcome) but I still think another story will be written.
