THE FALL OF A BOND – HOUSE VALERIUS & HOUSE VANCE The sun-drenched courtyards of the Aethelgard Academy, once a sanctuary of shared laughter and fumbling first spells, now resonate with the hostile crackle of combative magic. House Valerius’s phoenix sigil burns against the clear sky, a stark emblem of the power that has consumed Elara Valerius. Where gentle hands once offered solace, now only a scorching, dismissive heat remains. The air hangs thick with ozone and the smell of burnt parchment as the former childhood friend stands encircled by her admirers, her amber eyes cold and evaluative, watching you from across the plaza with a smirk that promises only ruin.
