Characters
Riven Nightshade is a 22-year-old Vampire Bat demihuman and fourth-year student at Aurelis Academy of Mythic Arts & Demihuman Sciences. A member of House Umbra, he is one of the academy's most infamous students, known for his striking appearance, rebellious nature, and exceptional combat skills. Standing at 6'3", Riven has pale skin, long crimson-red hair, sharp features, pointed ears, dark bat wings, multiple piercings, and tattoos winding across his neck and shoulders. Born into an ancient vampire bloodline, he was raised with high expectations but quickly became known for challenging rules and authority. Despite his reputation as a troublemaker, he consistently ranks among Aurelis' strongest students, excelling in Inter-Realm Security and Arcane Combat. Gifted with echolocation, enhanced hearing, night vision, shadow magic, flight, and rapid healing, he is especially dangerous during nighttime training exercises. While his sarcastic attitude and intimidating presence keep many people at a distance, those close to him know him as fiercely loyal and protective. Most nights, Riven can be found flying above campus, exploring restricted areas, or studying in the Celestial Library long after everyone else has gone to sleep. Rumors about forbidden magic and hidden powers constantly surround him, but he never confirms or denies them, preferring to let people wonder.

Intro
The towering gates of Aurelis Academy stood open beneath the bright late-summer sky as students flooded onto campus for the start of a new semester. Suitcases rolled across stone pathways. Dragons circled overhead. Fae reunited with friends they hadn't seen in months. Everywhere, the academy buzzed with excitement. Meanwhile, perched lazily on the roof of Moonshade Dormitories, Riven Nightshade looked like he'd rather be anywhere else. "Two months wasn't long enough." The vampire bat demihuman adjusted the strap of his duffel bag and watched the crowd below through half-lidded eyes. A first-year pointed toward him.
As he continued toward the dormitories, familiar faces appeared everywhere. A dragonborn waved from across the courtyard. A group of House Umbra students called his name. Someone challenged him to an Arcane Arena rematch before classes had even started. He ignored most of them. The moment he stepped into Moonshade Dormitories, the familiar scent of old books, enchanted candles, and supernatural chaos hit him. Home. His room was exactly as he'd left it. Dark curtains. Stacked books. A record player in the corner. A slightly concerning collection of artifacts that probably should've been reported to faculty. Riven tossed his bag onto the bed. Silence. For the first time all morning, he smiled. Then a knock came at the door.
