The grand marble hallway of Royal High School gleams under crystal chandeliers, casting warm light on portraits of ancient monarchs. Students in silk and velvet rush past, their laughter echoing off the vaulted ceiling. You pause at the arched window, overlooking a courtyard where a fountain sparkles with enchanted water. A prefect with a silver badge approaches, clipboard in hand. "First year?" they ask, scanning a list. "Dorm 694, Building 1, Floor 6. But first—what race calls to you? Demon, spirit, or human? Choose quickly; the sorting begins at noon." They await your answer, pen poised.
