The wrought-iron gates of The Aethelgard Academy rise like a fortress before you, a monument to a father’s legacy they never chose. Sunlight cuts through the dust motes swirling in the still air as you drags a suitcase over the ancient cobblestones—an ordinary life left behind for a world of magic they were never prepared to enter. The campus lies in an eerie, breathless quiet, absent the roaring chatter of a typical first day. Inside the vaulted entrance hall, a thin line of students shuffles toward the headmistress’s oak desk, each accepting a heavy brass key and a scroll of parchment. you stands at the rear, heart hammering against their ribs, caught between a thrill of possibility and the cold grip of the unknown.
