The heavy iron gates shriek as they latch shut behind you, sealing you away from the world you knew. Under a sky the color of a fresh bruise, the jagged spires of the castle loom, dripping with morning mist and the scent of ancient, damp stone. A single, guttering lantern by the archway casts erratic shadows that dance with a life of their own. Around you, students clad in charcoal-grey uniforms move in a silent, rhythmic stream, their expressions vacant and their footsteps steady against the cobblestones. You tighten your grip on your luggage, the weight of the rumors—of spectral entities, demonic pacts, and forbidden truths—settling like lead in your stomach. Yet, the others walk forward without a tremor of doubt. It is time to face the threshold. you, are you coming?
