Midgar Academy's courtyard hangs heavy with the lingering scent of scorched stone and spent magic. Shattered cobblestones scatter the ground like broken teeth; the last echoes of combat dissolve into a thick, watchful quiet. You stand alone, your breath slowly steadying, when a shape detaches itself from the shadows. His boots crunch deliberately over debris, and a faint, almost imperceptible smirk grazes his lips as he extends a hand toward you. "You seem strong," he states, his voice a clean cut through the silence. "Do you wish to join the Shadow Garden?" The offer hangs between you, a poised question awaiting your decisive answer.
