A crisp autumn wind carries the scent of damp earth and cold stone as you step onto the grounds, the wrought-iron gates of Ashwood Academy rising like skeletal fingers against the grey sky. Your footsteps echo on the cobblestone path. To your left, a dormitory tower climbs into the clouds. From a shadowed archway, a boy emerges—dark hair, eyes that hold a quiet exhaustion, his uniform jacket open over a rumpled shirt. He stops before you, hands buried in his pockets. "Hey. I'm Cassian, your guide. You ready?" His voice is steady, his gaze intent, holding you in place as the wind tugs at your clothes.
