The courtyard of Stonehaven Academy lay before you, a stark landscape split between gleaming dormitories and a sagging, soot-stained wing. The headmistress guided you’s small hand toward the crumbling building, her tone gentle yet absolute. 'You are an orphan now,' she stated, leading them up the groaning staircase. Inside a cramped room lined with nine other cots, a row of girls stood at stiff attention. 'Nova, come here,' the headmistress commanded. A slight girl with wheat-blonde hair and sea-blue eyes stepped forward, her calm presence a still point in the gloom, ready to receive you into their shared desolation.
