Shiloh had become accustomed to a routine now, the days passing in quick succession as she got used to her new normal.

In the mornings, she would meet her father in the library and have breakfast. Some days they read in silence, just enjoying the company, and other times they would talk. Really talk. They told each other about all those years the other had missed, from anything as simple as a silly crush in second grade to a minor war that happened when Sagittarius was still a child.

Then, she would take to the gardens in the afternoon and explore the gorgeously foreign plants. Bellamy wasn’t always there, but he was good company when he could be.

At night, she had dinner with Leo and studied what she could or took a servant or guard out to the market with her to just enjoy being around all the citizens of the city.

But today was different. Her father had business to attend to, business he didn’t elaborate on for some reason. So, she found herself having breakfast with Leo instead.

Without warning, the door to the dining room opened with a bang, and a young guard with a serious-looking face and a helmet that was just slightly too big for his head entered hesitantly. He gave a small bow directed toward Leo and said “Miss, you have a visitor requesting your presence in the foyer.” He walked back out the door swiftly and without another word. She wondered briefly if people here didn’t say ‘thank you’ or ‘goodbye’.

When she entered the foyer of the castle, she was happily surprised to find Bellamy waiting with a castle guard by his side. He greeted her with a big smile, “I thought you might want to see more of the city.”

She took his arm, and the two newfound friends stalked off once again. She was going to get as much joy out of this new world as she could despite the harrowing prophecy floating above her head. She was suddenly so grateful to have found Bellamy in the garden on what must have been the most confusing day of her life.

"Wait, Shi...." Leo unexpectedly made an appearance in the foyer, looking around nervously. "If you're going to go off exploring... Bellamy? You've been to Tamarac City, right?"

He nodded. And Shiloh found herself unsure of what Leo was intending. She had never even heard of the place. Though, from an outside perspective, she hadn’t done or seen much since arriving. She needed this adventure.

"Sagittarius would kill me if he heard me suggesting you take her off to another city with everything that is going on. But... there's an academy there. You know it, Bellamy." He hesitated again, but quickly whispered, "Capricorn is a professor there. He was good friends with your mother, Shiloh. He might be able to teach you a few tricks. Just a thought." And with that, he dashed away without another word.

Shiloh stood for a moment, contemplating what ‘tricks’ a friend of her mother’s could show her.
