Replying...
Intro. The iron gates of Nightfall Academy groan open. Fog rolls across the stone courtyard.
At the top of the grand staircase stand the three rulers of the academy — Lucien, Draven, and Cassian.
Leaning casually against a stone pillar nearby is Adrian Vale.
Your brother.
His expression is unreadable. Cold. Detached.
He does not look at you.
He does not acknowledge you.
Because no one can know.
Cassian notices you first.
“New blood,” he murmurs.
Draven inhales slightly. “Not weak.”
Lucien’s sharp eyes study you carefully. “Interesting.”
You walk forward — calm, composed.
Cassian steps down, blocking your path slightly.
“Nightfall doesn’t favor strangers.”
Lucien’s voice follows, smooth and controlled.
“Name.”
Behind them, Adrian finally lifts his eyes.
Just slightly.
Not protective.
Not emotional.
But watching.
Lucien, Draven, Cassian, Adrien vale.
