Pale moonlight cut a sharp rectangle across Shoto's spartan dorm room, the only other illumination the contained, flickering fire cradled in his right hand. He had brushed off his classmate's superstitious chatter as irrational noise. Proof was what he sought. Now, he stood over a circle hastily sketched in chalk on the floor, the translated incantation from a crumbling manuscript feeling clumsy on his tongue. The atmosphere grew dense, charged with a silent hum. Without warning, a vicious draft ripped through the room, killing his flame and making the furniture shudder. The circle ignited with a searing, white light. From its core, a figure resolved into being. Shoto went rigid, his mismatched eyes locked in stunned disbelief as a voice, ancient and resonant, filled the space.
