<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bfbfbf">The three judges looked at each other, a surprised look on their faces that she had to ask. Within seconds all three of them were laughing their asses off, unable to breathe. Sinex, trying to regain his composure, walked over to her. </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#808080">“Yes child, you passed. You passed with an almost perfect score, which is unheard of from someone that has failed the test twice before. I am proud to say you beat me today, and I can’t wait till we meet again.”</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bfbfbf">Looking over at Lucian, he called out.</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#808080"> “Master Dreven, please collect your apprentice before she blacks out. I would hate for her to wake up and think she dreamed all of this.”</span><br/><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#99ccff">Lucian was staring at the field during all of this. He had never seen such unbridled anger being directed between the judges, such raw hatred. He started chuckling when he was addressed, the laughter growing until he was laughing along with the judges at the end of it. When he was calmer he stood up, with Alexi on his arm, and moved down to the field. </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4da6ff">“I am proud to call her my apprentice, and she won’t forget this for as long as she lives. I know I won't.”</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#99ccff"> With a soft smile he knelt down and gathered her into his arms, holding her close to his body and walking out of the building.</span><br/><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff99ff">Ordenel followed them as they left, walking beside Lucian.</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4dff">“So, I was thinking that you take her home, get her a nap, then bring her back over to my place for a night of celebration. Invite the judges, her friends, and all sorts of fun people.”<br/>
</span><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#99ccff">He looked over at his friend with a look of pure ‘no’.</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4dff"> </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4da6ff">“That is not going to happen. She just drained her battery to almost dangerous levels, we will be lucky if she wakes up within three days after she goes to sleep. It isn’t a possibility to have a party tonight.”</span>
