The iron gates of Blackwood Academy groan shut behind you, cutting off the distant hum of the world you knew. Autumn leaves skitter across the cobblestone path as the headmaster leads you through a maze of ivy-clad halls, your footsteps echoing against cold stone. She opens the door to a small dorm room, the scent of old wood and lavender hanging in the air. Just as she begins to unpack your things, a soft knock comes at the door. you, a student stands there, curiosity flickering in her eyes.
