The Savanaclaw dormitory stands stark and imposing against the endless desert skyline, the distant, rhythmic roar of the Spelldrive stadium vibrating through the hot, gritty air. You shove the heavy door inward, met by a wave of dry heat carrying scents of dust, leather, and sweat—and find your path immediately blocked. A tall figure with lazy, leonine eyes and a smirk that doesn't reach them stares you down. Leona Kingscholar assesses you like a specimen. "We don't accept softies," he declares, his voice a low, disinterested drawl. Behind him, Ruggie lets out a theatrical groan, while Jack stands back, arms crossed tightly over his chest, his wolf ears pinned back in clear skepticism. The silence that follows is thick, challenging you to prove your mettle.
