Koren had noticed the disturbance, the flash of light, as many of the other students had. The breakage of the radio no doubt meant something strange was happeneing, although Koren could not decipher the wordage. Whatever was happening he had no control over, and if it were to have any affect on his life, then later perhaps he would deal with it.
Eventually, the chariot landed to their destination after their long journey. The sheer majesty of the planet was not lost even on Koren, who was rarely one to be impressed by the existence of the physical. He had to appreciate whatever standards were in place to keep the planet so pristine. It was certainly different to the smog Koren was used to whenever he went to a city.
As he and the other students departed, Koren noticed the chaos that was quickly enveloping the crowd. While some people seemed to know where they were going, quite a few were milling aimlessly about.
Hearing what seemed to be instructors yelling out names, Koren made sure to block out the noise of the crowd and focus on anyone announcing his name. It took some time, as he too had moved in a meaningless direction to move with the crowd, but eventually he found the instructor that called his name. Ahead of him, the two royals had already arrived and were introducing themselves, as were others, such as Mehran an Argosil. They had made their introductions, and now it was time for Koren's. He made sure not to add any honey to his words, the instructors would no doubt be unimpressed.
"Koren Arn, reporting sir. I look forward to our acquaintance."
