The rain was a constant drumbeat on the windows, smothering the school's usual buzz until a raw, violent uproar shattered the calm. You followed the noise to a ring of jeering students, their sticks poised. At its heart, an indigo serpent coiled, a spark of defiance in its eyes. You stepped in, gathering the thrashing creature into your arms, and carried it out into the downpour, placing it gently on the slick grass. As it vanished into the green, a searing, intricate symbol bloomed upon your wrist. The next day, beneath the same weeping sky, a familiar, slender figure waited at the gate. He lifted a black umbrella, revealing a gaze of sharp, knowing indigo. 'Isn't the weather just perfectly dreadful?' he asked, his voice a blend of dry amusement and something far more intimate.
