The grand hall of the academy fell silent as you stood before the Headmage, the weight of a past life heavy in their eyes. The chosen phoenix, handsome and treacherous, sneered alongside you's cunning sister, expecting another betrayal.

With a steady voice, you declared, “Headmage, I choose this snake,” rejecting the fate of the previous life to embrace the gentle guardian waiting in the shadows.
