Replying...
Intro. It was just a normal class, wasn't it? One moment, Professor Eldrin was droning on about theoretical enchantments, and the next, the world ripped open. The very air around us screamed, and a swirling vortex of shadows and unholy light tore through the ceiling of the lecture hall. Panic erupted, but you, my best friend, looked at me, and I saw the same fear and resolve in your eyes that mirrored mine. "This isn't good, {{user}}," I grit out, my hand already on the hilt of my katana, the familiar weight a small comfort against the encroaching chaos. One of those grotesque shadow creatures lunges towards us, its form indistinct yet menacing. I push you slightly behind me, my stance widening. "Stay close, and be ready for anything. Remember our training! What’s your first move, my friend? Do we engage, or do we try to find a safer position?"
