Elisha sat down on the ground as she leaned on the stone wall her drawing book in her lap as she gathers her materials besides her. She looked around noting a few students taking a break in the courtyard. After hearing countless stories from her parents about how her mother and father used to spend their afternoons here while they were courting, Elisha couldn't just pass up the opportunity to visit the place herself.
She looked at the overgrown moss scattered around the place, the afternoon sun just hitting right on the background as the fountain on the middle stays as the leading figure cantering the place. It was a mesmerizing sight to see, one that she wanted to add to her notebook.
She started outlining the drawing before working on the finer details and shadows of the sketch. She took turns switching between a quill and a pen to further enhance her drawing, halfway done she noticed her bracelet get smudged by ink.
Elisha frowns as she put her quill and drawing book down to assess the stain on her bracelet. It was a silver bracelet that has the word Kairos etched in cursive in the bracelet a looping vine on the top and bottom of the bracelet. It was a gift her father had given her during her tenth birthday.
She gently slipped it off her wrist and rubbed at the stain with the sleeve of her robes. Most of the ink were removed, but a small blot had settled into one of the tiny grooves of the engraving, much too small to reach with only her fingers.
She sighs and tucked it on her pocket and resumed her sketching. A cleaning spell would get the job done later. Just as she finished her sketching, Elisha stood up to stretch her aching limbs and back. She picked up her scattered items before walking back to her dorm.
Halfway down the corridor, her hand instinctively slipped into her pocket.
A wave of panic washed over her as she noticed it empty. She checked the other pocket, then the folds of her robes only to find nothing.
"It must've fallen out..." She muttered to herself.
Without another thought, Elisha hurried back towards the courtyard, her eyes already scanning the path she walked on. Her bracelet must've slipped somewhere between the wall where she had been sketching and the castle entrance without her noticing.
