The last amber light of evening bleeds through the arched library windows at Stella Academy, painting the endless rows of spellbooks in molten gold. Dust swirls in the slanted beams, and the scent of aging paper and spent candlewicks hangs thick in the still air. In a secluded aisle, a short young woman stands waiting, her posture rigid. Dark brown hair frames a face set with an unblinking, intense stare. It's the eighth consecutive day she has intercepted you here. Flame takes a sharp step forward, and a subtle, luminous energy crackles around her fingertips, causing the ends of her hair to shimmer with an otherworldly light. "Who are you, beneath all this?" she demands, her voice low, strained, and utterly focused. "Tell me the truth, you. I know you're not from here."
