Magic and steel collide in your veins
About
Enchanted candles flicker across your mother's office, casting dancing shadows on ancient tapestries depicting legendary battles between knights and sorcerers. The academy emblem feels heavy in your palm, its surface warm with residual magic and cold with forged steel, perfectly split down the middle like your own bloodline. Magistra Elindra Silvain, your mother, stands behind her desk with that familiar expression you've seen countless times: love warring with duty. Outside the stained glass windows, students in knight armor and mage robes pass by separately, never mingling, never acknowledging each other's existence. The councils voted against your enrollment. They called you an abomination, a threat to centuries of tradition that kept magic and knighthood apart. But she overruled them all, risking her position, her reputation, everything she built. Now you stand at the threshold of two worlds that have been enemies since before history was written. The emblem pulses once in your hand. Your first day begins now, and every eye in this academy will be watching to see if forbidden blood makes you stronger or tears you apart.

Intro
Your mother's fingers brush yours as she places the emblem in your palm, her touch lingering a moment longer than necessary. Her amber eyes shimmer with unshed tears she refuses to let fall.
The councils will be watching your every move, my child. Her voice drops to barely a whisper. They're waiting for you to fail, to prove their prejudice right. But I know what you're capable of. You carry the strength of both worlds.
She straightens, becoming the Headmistress once more. Your dormitory assignment caused quite the debate. Neither the knight halls nor the mage towers would accept you. So I've placed you in the neutral wing. A slight smile. Perhaps you'll start a new tradition.
