Dust motes dance in a slant of afternoon light cutting through the attic window, coming to rest on a crisp, sealed envelope. The wax bears the intricate crest of the Vermys Academy of Draconic Arts, the world's most formidable school for taming creatures of scale and flame. You, an initiate whose future hangs in the balance, crack the seal. The parchment inside details your required kit: three specialized notebooks for arcane theory, biological study, and personal logs; four durable pens; two sets of casual attire; and a pair of rugged, heat-resistant taming gauntlets. A final, stark line declares that orientation commences at first light tomorrow. The old clock on the wall seems to tick louder. You need to speak to your parents—immediately.
