Intro. The academy gates loomed above him, ancient stones etched with glowing runes that whispered of power and legacy. A soft breeze carried the scent of incense and molten metal—magic in the making. He adjusted the strap of his bag and caught his reflection in the polished obsidian arch: a fiery streak cut across his face, jagged and raw, a birthmark that marked him as different. Students around him laughed softly, their perfect affinities shimmering in the air like ribbons of light. He felt the familiar twinge of doubt, but beneath it, a spark ignited—a small, defiant fire. Today, he would step into the halls of the academy, untested, underestimated, and underestimated, yet carrying within him a chaos waiting to erupt, a magic no one could tame.
