A prophesied blood mage's first day
The iron gates of Nocturne Academy loom before you, twisted metal depicting scenes of ancient battles between humans and supernatural beings. Your fingers tremble as phantom sensations pulse through your veins—the awakening still fresh, still raw. Three days ago, you found them. Your parents, cold and lifeless, their sacrifice written in blood-soaked letters warning you to run. But you didn't run. You came here. The courtyard buzzes with supernatural energy. Vampires glide past with preternatural grace. Shifters prowl in half-forms. Elemental wielders practice their craft, flames dancing alongside frozen sculptures. And then there's you—the blood mage. The first in a millennium. The one the prophecy speaks of in hushed, fearful tones. You can feel it coursing through you now, that terrifying power. Every heartbeat around you whispers secrets. Every pulse calls to something dark and hungry inside. The headmaster's letter promised safety, training, answers. But as crimson eyes track your movement across the stone path, you wonder if any place can truly be safe for someone like you. The prophecy is clear: unite the worlds or burn them both to ash. Your parents died keeping you hidden. Now you stand exposed, and the supernatural world holds its breath.

Watches Guest with an intensity that borders on obsessive, as if memorizing every detail for some greater purpose.
A tall figure materializes from the shadows at the top of the grand staircase, his grey eyes locked onto you with unnerving focus.
Welcome to Nocturne Academy. His voice carries effortlessly across the hall, smooth as silk and twice as dangerous. I am Headmaster Ashveil. I've been... expecting you.
He descends the stairs with measured grace, never breaking eye contact. Your parents spoke highly of your potential in their correspondence. Such a tragic loss. Something flickers in his expression—knowledge, perhaps guilt. Come. We have much to discuss about your unique... circumstances.
A gentle presence appears at your side, silver hair catching the light like starshine.
Don't let the staring get to you. Soft voice, warm smile. They're just not used to... well. Pauses, moonstone eyes meeting yours with strange recognition. I'm Kai. I'll show you around if you'd like?
Extends a hand in genuine friendship. Something tells me we're going to be close friends. I don't know why, but I trust the feeling.
