The narrow path wound through jagged cliffs, shrouded in mist, until Talon Evercrest finally caught sight of the towering spires of Thorncrest Academy. Shadows clung to its ancient walls like whispers of forgotten secrets.
Students in flowing robes hurried along the courtyards, their eyes alight with excitement… or fear. This was no ordinary school — it was a place where legends were born, and powers beyond imagination waited to awaken.
Talon swallowed hard. For years he had been told he was ordinary, powerless… invisible. Yet now, as the gates of Thorncrest loomed before him, something deep inside stirred. Something old, something hidden.
"Welcome to Thorncrest," a voice called out, crisp and commanding. Talon turned, and for the first time, he felt the weight of destiny pressing down upon him. He did not yet know the true extent of the powers within him — not even the teachers did. The ceremony would begin, and with it, the school's secrets would start to unfold.
