Kai and Liliana stood just outside the towering gates of Azurean Academy.
Before them loomed the grand facade of the most prestigious academy in the region.
A marvel of elegant design and raw presence.
Tall iron-wrought gates stood open, flanked by statues of mythical beasts carved in pristine stone—one a wyvern with wings unfurled, the other a lion with a crystal embedded in its chest.
The gates led into a broad courtyard paved with smooth granite, the edges lined with trimmed hedges and crystal-light posts that flickered faintly even in daylight.
Beyond the courtyard, the Academy itself rose like a fortress carved from white stone and infused with mana.
Spires rose into the sky, connected by arching bridges and suspended walkways.
The central building had a clocktower with silver hands and glowing runes just beneath its face.
"Wow…" Liliana whispered.
