BATTLE THE BEAST

Chapter Three

The crowd cheered as our horse drawn carriage carried us down a long red carpet.

Students and faculty members stood in ovation for as far as the eye could see.

"Can you believe all of this?" asked Eliot, tipping back a small silver flask.

Margo bumped him with her shoulder. "I can't believe they let you out of Fillory."

Eliot grinned. "A celebration for their King? Not only did they let me out, they came to see me get honored."

"To see us get honored," said Julia with a smile.

"Listen here, newbie, Brakebills has a hierarchy and ask the newest student, you're on the bottom of that order," joked Penny.

Julia laughed, her smile finally returning.

Margo grinned and wiggled her fingers, producing a bottle of champagne. With the flick of her pointer finger, the top flew into the air. "Who's ready to celebrate?"

As we passed around the champagne bottle, I leaned back in the red velvet seat and smiled. "We did it. We banished The Beast."
