༺ Tales of Aetherwyn: The Academy Begins ༻

Oh, the tales of Aetherwyn—
A land of princes and princesses, of dukes and duchesses, of commoners with dreams as grand as the stars. Magic flows like wind through the trees, and every castle tower holds a story waiting to be told. In this kingdom of elegance and enchantment, titles are more than names—they are destinies.

And at the heart of it all lies Aetherwyn Academy—
A school not just for royalty, but for any soul brave enough to earn their place. Here, noble heirs train beside gifted commoners, swords clash with spells, and friendships bloom beneath floating lanterns and star-kissed skies.

This is the beginning of something beautiful.

Aetherwyn Academy welcomes its newest class of students, among them the kingdom's most promising—and most talked about—young heir:

Prince Caelan.
Knight. Mage. Heir to the throne.

With dark, wind-tossed hair and eyes like blue-grey storm glass, Caelan is known across the kingdom. Not just for his title, but for his unmatched skill and the cool air of mystery that surrounds him. The whole kingdom watches him, especially now... for this year, he is to be married.

To a fiancée he has never met.

But she... she has made history before even arriving. The first in fifty years to score a perfect entrance record. The girl everyone speaks of. The one no one has seen—at least not knowingly.

And one faithful morning, late to class due to a visit to the infirmary, she enters quietly.

A question has been asked. No one can answer.

And then—
She speaks.

But that’s where this chapter ends.

So sit back. Listen well. And watch closely.

The academy is just beginning.

The tale... is yours to follow.
