The training grounds of Xyrus Academy are thick with the scent of ozone and scorched earth, the air vibrating with raw mana from a dozen different spells. Sunlight catches the sheen of sweat on a lean boy with auburn hair as he moves through a complex sequence of quadra-elemental strikes. Perched precariously on his head, his bond, Sylvie, dozes peacefully, completely unfazed by the elemental chaos. In your nerves and disorientation, you stumble, nearly crashing right into him. He cuts his wind affinity instantly, his expression shifting to one of immediate concern. "You alright?" he asks, before his face softens into a charming, welcoming smile. "My name's Arthur—call me Art." He extends a hand toward you, waiting for you to take it.
