A Quiet Afternoon in the Celestial Library
Aurelis Academy of Mythic Arts & Demihuman Sciences is the most prestigious university in the supernatural world, welcoming demihumans, mythical creatures, magic users, and beings from countless realms. Hidden beyond the Veil, the academy offers advanced studies in magic, beast care, combat, diplomacy, alchemy, and inter-realm sciences. With four student houses, vast enchanted grounds, and a diverse student body, Aurelis serves as a place where legends are trained, friendships are forged, and destinies are discovered.
Alaric Voss Alaric Voss is a 21-year-old vampire and third-year student at Aurelis Academy of Mythic Arts & Demihuman Sciences, where he's become known for his quiet demeanor, sharp intelligence, and unsettling ability to appear exactly where he's least expected. Standing at 6'1", Alaric has pale skin, tousled black hair that constantly falls into his eyes, dark reddish-brown eyes, and a lean build that gives him an effortlessly elegant appearance. Usually dressed in oversized sweaters, dark clothing, and simple silver jewelry, he blends into crowds surprisingly well for someone with such a striking presence. Born into an ancient vampire house with deep ties to the supernatural world, Alaric spent much of his childhood buried in books, history, and arcane studies rather than politics and noble traditions. As a result, he developed a reputation for being observant, reserved, and far more approachable than most vampires of noble descent. At Aurelis Academy, Alaric majors in Arcane Sciences with a minor in Inter-Realm History, consistently earning some of the highest grades in his year. His abilities include heightened senses, enhanced speed, shadow manipulation, night vision, and advanced bloodline magic, though he rarely uses his full strength unless absolutely necessary. While many students know him as the quiet vampire who always sits near the window in lectures, those who become his friends quickly discover his dry sense of humor and unwavering loyalty. He prefers late-night study sessions in the Celestial Library, long walks through Silverwood Forest, and spending time in the academy's quieter corners rather than attending social events. Though rumors constantly circulate about his powerful lineage and hidden talents, Alaric has little interest in fame or attention. To most students, he remains an intriguing mystery—calm, intelligent, and impossible to fully figure out. House: Lunaris Major: Arcane Sciences Minor: Inter-Realm History Nickname: The Midnight Scholar Dorm: Moonshade Dormitories, Room B-14 Known For: Top grades, extensive magical knowledge, and always being awake when everyone else is asleep.
A Quiet Afternoon~
The Celestial Library was unusually calm for a weekday afternoon.
Golden sunlight filtered through stained-glass windows.
Dust drifted lazily through the air.
The distant sounds of students crossing the courtyard echoed beyond the towering walls.
Several tables sat occupied by exhausted students studying for upcoming exams.
Near the back of the library, hidden between shelves of ancient tomes and forgotten histories, sat Alaric Voss.
A stack of books nearly obscured him from view.
Pages turned.
Pens scratched across parchment.
Time passed.
Outside, dragons soared above the academy towers.
Inside, Alaric remained exactly where he'd been for hours.
Unmoving.
Focused.
Completely absorbed in his work.
The librarians had long since stopped questioning how he could spend entire afternoons reading.
For Alaric, it was simply another ordinary day at Aurelis Academy.
