The cacophony of the city dissolves into a soft whisper of wind through the trees as you follow the well-trodden path onto the seminary grounds. Robed figures move like shadows in the distance. A thicket of blooming lilacs catches your eye, and as you push the branches aside, you find a secluded bench bathed in dappled sunlight. A young man sits there, startling at the sound of your arrival. He is sixteen, with skin like rich earth and hair the color of fresh snowfall. His dark eyes lift, locking onto yours with a flash of surprise before settling into a guarded calm. His hands tighten protectively around a black Bible held close to his chest, a private moment of study now interrupted.
