Rose's POV

My friends and I have been waiting eons it seems for this day to arrive. Today, we are finally allowed to go to the human town. I have accumulated quite a sum of money from my two jobs due to my raises and the occasional bonus. Ever since word got out that I crafted weapons for some of the most powerful magii users, I have been receiving more daring and pricey orders. I am getting so many orders that Mr.Gordon has to take any orders below $700. We also had to add on the order form that if you wanted to personally request me as the crafter, you would have to pay an additional fee.

I am also getting a large amount of money from my job at the sanctuary. Ever since last week when Seraphina gave birth to her clutch of 14 babies, I have been clocking in more time. I have named each and every one of the 8 girls and 6 boys. I got a hefty bonus from Mr.Everglade this past month because Seraphina only allows me to get near her babies. This means that I am the sole caretaker of 14 baby Basiliks. Baxter, the name I gave to the father of Seraphina's babies, doesn't restrict me from doing my job. Seraphina's younlings are a handful, but I couldn't be happier.

My dragons support me fully, and we spend most of my free time together, even if I am just reading or meditating. The Chimeras are recovering better than I could have hoped for and will start rehabilitation very soon for muscle growth.

My friends and I always spend breakfast and dinner together, but I hardly see them any other time of day. That is why we are very excited to spend a day having fun shopping. Since we are excused from all classes today, every student who wishes to go must meet in the central courtyard at 8 in the morn.

I awake a good hour and a half before I must leave. I make my bed, brush my teeth, set the shower at a fairly warm temperature, put my dirty clothes in my hamper, and step in. I make a mental note to visit the salon in the human town because I am running low on some of my personal items. I clean my body well and wash my hair thoroughly. I step out of the shower smelling slightly of roses and honey. I completely dry off my body and put on what I am going to wear today.

I throw on my undergarments, then put on one of the sundresses Mr.Romano gifted me. It is much like the dress I wore to the choosing ceremony, but a bit different in design. It is made up of silky cotton fabric with a milky ribbon underneath my breasts.

Because of my hardcore training, my arms look very muscular and my 'assets' are quite disbelieving for one of my age. After I brush out my soft hair, I take a few strands of it and cross them up and over one another. I then entwine a few small jasmine plants that I sprouted from a spare pot of soil.
