Under Luna’s Curse
There were maybe ten of us; boys, girls, all around my age, each carrying something small that glowed faintly which I think were heirlooms.
No one smiled. Everyone looked nervous.
“Today,” Mistress Kyenna said as we approached a large gate carved into the stone wall, “you’ll step into the heart of the Arcane Lyceum. The Awakening Temple. From there, your journey begins.”
The gate creaked open slowly, revealing a blinding white light..As we stepped in, I gasped.
The temple was massive, pillars of marble reached the sky, covered in golden runes. At the center was a glowing pool, and around it stood statues of people holding relics; watches, daggers, pendants, even books.
