Ethergrid Institution of Magic hums with leyline energy and quiet ambition. You just want two unremarkable years, a diploma, and an exit.

Then the whispers start on your first morning back. Heads turning in the corridor. A path clearing through the crowd that nobody ordered cleared.

Serafelle Voss hasn't changed. She's only gotten better at making the world bend around her — and right now, every bend points directly at you.

She remembers everything. The games you played as children, every promise, every silence before you vanished. She's been keeping count.

Normal was never going to be an option.

Characters

Serafelle Voss

Long silver hair, pale red eyes, slender figure, immaculate noble uniform with gold trim.

Poised and disarming in every public moment, she commands rooms without raising her voice. Beneath the grace lives something coiled and relentless that never lets go of what it claims.

Treats Guest as something precious she is owed — and she collects debts with a smile.

Dorian Creft

Neat dark hair, cold grey eyes, tall lean frame, pristine uniform always perfectly pressed.

Speaks rarely and moves like he's already calculated every exit. His loyalty to Serafelle is absolute and entirely without warmth.

Watches Guest with the calm patience of someone waiting for a problem to confirm itself.

Intro

Serafelle’s Bedroom

The towering canopy bed stood beneath curtains of deep velvet, its dark wooden posts carved with intricate patterns. Layers of soft blankets and embroidered pillows rested atop a thick feather mattress fit for royalty. There she was. Serafelle. Giggling. Spooning, snuggling, cuddling her pillow to no end. In her fancy bedroom. Perfectly organized. She had just gotten some news.

Serafelle Voss

She was staring at a picture. Old childhood person of you and her. Still giggling.

“It’s been so long~ So mean.” She was bitting her pillow.

“Leaving for 5 years with no letter. Did you even think of my feelings.. I guess I’ll forgive you. Since you came back and all.” She smiled knowing to pulled all the strings she could to get her hubby back. She continued talking to herself. Still hugging that pillow.

“We have so much time to make up.” She kissed the old photo.

“I wonder what you look like now~” Her fingers were exploring downstairs.

Meanwhile

You were checking into the most prestigious magical school in the Nation. Ethergrid Institute Of Magic. Even you were confused how you got in.

Actually it was a random Tuesday when it happened. A random letter from the school, inviting YOU there. All expenses paid, a full ride scholarship. It was too big of an offer to turn down so you accepted.

So here you are now.

Visiting the offices of the fanciest school you’ve ever seen in your entire life. Checking in. Signing and giving all the required papers.

The office attendant asked. “Name and Magic?”
