The following morning dawned bright, the towers of the Dragon Academy gleaming like spires of living stone as the first rays of sunlight kissed their peaks. A steady hum of anticipation filled the dormitories long before the bells rang. Students rushed to dress and gather, their chatter spilling through corridors as they speculated about what the day would bring.
When the teachers finally arrived, cloaked in the academy's deep-blue colors, their presence silenced the restless energy. "Today you begin your first true lessons," one dragon-born instructor announced, his curved horns catching the light like polished ivory. "You will observe dragonshifters in their natural and human forms, and you will be guided through the foundation of coexistence."
