Xochi stared at her transcript. It seemed surreal, but it was true. All the classes were in order, passed with flying colors. Her electives were selective and eased her into her chosen major. Beside the transcript was a crisp, unwrinkled page of information. Name. Age. Race. Intended Major. Written there were two parts - Medicine and Biology.She felt flushed with happiness and excitement and a little trepidation. After all, this was a big step in a life filled with many stumbling blocks. But this was the beginning of the rest of her life. Becoming a doctor, using plants and medicine together, and helping nightmares grow strong and old. She might even be able to learn more about the above, and help them with their endeavors to be in the below, or visa versa. There was so much Xochi could do, that it left her a little boggled. Still... She had a place to start and that was good enough for the demon.
Carefully folding the application and transcripts together, she inserted them into the manila envelope and left her dorm. Outside, the evening air tickled her skin and made her feel flush with happiness. Leviathan was a bit away from here, wasn't it? She'd need to check a map again (geography was never her strongest subject). What would the temperature and feeling outside be? Would it be nice like here or worse? Oh, there was just so much unknown!
She approached her school and went found the mailbox. Slipping in her package she couldn't help but do a small dance (thankfully no one else was around to notice the silly display). Yes, life was changing for certain. It was going to become much, much better.
