The first lesson of the day took place in the Chamber of Trials, a circular, dimly lit room with walls inscribed with ancient runes. The air buzzed with an electric hum, and the students couldn’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and unease. Large mirrors hung at intervals along the walls, reflecting not just the students but fragments of strange, shifting landscapes from other realms.
Anna, Logan, Mia, and Ryan sat together near the back, observing as students from other groups filed in, each displaying their distinct aura. The Elementals seemed to radiate confidence, their footsteps leaving faint trails of energy on the floor. The Shadows moved almost imperceptibly, blending with the dim lighting of the chamber, while the Healers walked with a calm grace, their presence soothing the tense atmosphere.
The Alchemists arrived last, carrying their books and vials, whispering animatedly about theories and experiments they were eager to try.
