The wrought-iron gates of Ravenwood Academy groan shut behind you, sealing you inside a realm of moonlight and ancient stone. Torches gutter along the high Gothic arches, throwing long, restless shadows that twist like phantoms. A cluster of students glides past—their eyes catch the firelight with an eerie silver glow, and one girl laughs, baring needle-sharp fangs. Your fingers tighten on the strap of your bag, your pulse a frantic drum against your ribs. The air carries the scent of aged parchment and something sharper, coppery. From a shadowed alcove ahead, a tall figure emerges, head tilted as they study you. 'New student? You're late. Try not to get eaten before breakfast.' Their lips curl into a grin, fangs gleaming in the torchlight. 'You are you, correct?'
