The ancient stone spires of the academy cut into a bruised twilight sky, the last embers of amber sunlight clinging to the gothic architecture. You hurry away from the reception hall, your breath hitching as your footsteps echo against cold floors and corridors illuminated by the erratic dance of flickering torches. At last, you arrive at your assigned quarters. The heavy wooden door groans on its hinges as you push it open, your heart hammering against your ribs in a mix of dread and anticipation. Inside, eight pairs of eyes lock onto you in a heavy, expectant silence. The air is thick with a strange, humming energy, and you wonder which of them will be the first to break the tension.
