The air in the lecture hall is thick with an iridescent haze, smelling of old parchment and ozone. Around you, the students are a kaleidoscope of the uncanny—curled horns that emit a soft, pulsing light, iridescent scales catching the dim glow, and shadows that seem to breathe independently of their owners. Standing by the heavy oak doors, Headmaster Alaric Thorne watches you with an unreadable expression, his silver hair shimmering like moonlight against the dark velvet of his robes. He places a steadying hand on your shoulder, his voice a deep, resonant vibration that settles in your chest. "Steel yourself, you. Curiosity is a powerful force in this room, but it is harmless. Step forward and tell them who you are."
