Aetherion Academia #1: Shadows of Rebirth
The next day,
[Rina P.O.V]
The war room had become a cathedral of maps.
Aurel had covered every wall with vellum, pinning them with crystal nails that glowed with their own inner light. The Academy's layout - every corridor, every well, every fountain, every forgotten drain - was rendered in his precise, architectural hand. Overlaid on the architecture were lines of colored thread: crimson for the murder sites, gold for the holy magic residue, black for the corruption points, and silver for the shadow-paths Zephina had mapped.
