The First Wave
The school was still swampy, but the rain had stopped a few days ago at least. The school grounds were a sopping mess.
And then, suddenly and without warning, a wave flickered all over the Island. Not water. Magic. A return of magic. Brief, but sharp. The barrier had been down for a precious minute. Two at most. Then it was back again. But something had happened.
In response, Professor Yen Sid who had been teaching out of an upper floor classroom while the basement was flooded, moved swiftly without running. He was heading away from the school and down the only cleared path and to the shore.
Reunited like this?
On the beach, the people of Auradon had rushed through the magical ramp that Mal had created into the small opening in the barrier. Once they had all their supplies on the beach the barrier closed. "Three hours," Mal said firmly. She looked towards the school. "Incoming," she warned them all as professor Yen Sid approached. Then she added to those who came with the royal pair. "If you're not back in three hours we're leaving without you. And it may be a while before we can get back."
That said, Mal went to talk to Yen Sid as Ben started helping everyone sort what they got onto the driest surfaces they could find on the beach.
"Looks like they got some weather here already..." the king mused.
Those that remain
Once the Auradon contingent was gone, those that remained once again had supplies to bring into the school and distribute. And Yen Sid seemed concerned about something that the royal pair had told him. Deeply concerned.
