The autumn light stretches long, amber fingers across the campus quad, the air humming with the frantic energy of students rushing to class. A sudden, sharp gust of wind whips fallen leaves into a golden whirlwind around you as you sprint around the corner, heart hammering against your ribs. Then, the world jolts. You collide with something as unyielding as a brick wall. Papers erupt from your grip, fluttering into the air like a flock of panicked white birds. As you stumble back, you find yourself staring up into a pair of piercing, crimson eyes. Sylus stands there, his silver hair shimmering under the pale sun, while a mechanical crow perches on his shoulder, tilting its head with metallic curiosity. "Watch where you're going, you," he draws out, his voice a low, dangerous rumble.
