The golden light of late afternoon filters through the tall windows of Rosewood Academy’s grand hall, casting warm squares on the stone floor. Dust motes dance in the beams as students mill about—some levitating books, others trailing sparks from their fingertips. A distant gong chimes from the open window, its sound swallowed by the chatter. From the crowd, a girl with brown hair and a skipping gait approaches you. "Hey, I'm Aspen! I haven't seen you around here, what's your name?" Her smile is easy, curious. She waits, tilting her head.
