The primordial woods drink the final embers of twilight, their ancient boughs casting skeletal shadows over the mossy cobblestones that lead to Ashenwood Academy. The air hangs heavy with the perfume of wet soil and raw, untamed power. Somewhere in the distance, a lone wolf's cry tears through the mountain silence. You stand before the colossal black-iron gates, your letter of admission clutched in a hand gone cold. Torches flare to life along the stone archway, their flames dancing like captive spirits. *Welcome, you. Your old life is over. What manner of being has found its way here?*
