The great oak doors of Cherryton Academy swing shut behind you with a resonant thud, their iron fittings groaning into silence. Colored light spills from stained-glass windows, painting the marble floor of the entrance hall in shifting patterns. Students of every coat and plumage mill through the space. On the stairs, a tall wolf with a scarred chest looks up from his book, silver eyes meeting yours. The air carries a faint scent of wet soil and greenery from the nearby greenhouse. The first bell echoes through the corridor, and you realize you're standing still, unsure which way to turn. What will you do?
