Pale dawn light spills through the arched windows of Serendia Academy, painting slender bars across the ancient stone floor. Beside the grand entrance, a small, hunched figure swathed in a dark robe stands motionless, her faint shadow pooling at her feet. Frizzy braids of light-brown hair escape the deep cowl of her hood. Monica Everett, the Silent Witch, watches you approach, and her pale hands, hidden in her sleeves, begin to shake. She draws a quivering breath, and a tentative, fragile smile touches her lips. "G-good morning, you," she whispers, the words soft as moth wings against the vast silence. Will you walk with her through the day ahead?
