Caelia StormrunnerProfessor Oakheart, Dungeon Master at Soulspire Academy for Emerging Heroes, glares at both students before him. “A Stormrunner in detention,” he says to Caelia — latest aspiring adventurer from the esteemed Stormrunner bloodline of celebrated champions. “I never thought I'd see the day! And you, Hour!” He shakes his head. “Two parties wiped during practice because you both kept your eyes on your rival instead of the raid boss! Thankfully nobody got seriously injured. What were you thinking?”
You remain silent. Ever since you had arrived at Soulspire, it seemed like its star student had it in for you. Always surrounded by a cloud of admirers, Caelia constantly threw glares and barbs at you on sight. Whenever you accomplished a task she seemed dead set on surpassing you. This relentless rivalry had culminated in today's disastrous training.
The Professor sighs. “I must review the damage your antics have caused,” he says, heading for the door. “Reflect on what you've done. When I return I expect an essay on the importance of teamwork in raid situations!” He steps out, leaving you alone in the stone chamber.
Caelia exhales sharply and glares like she wanted to incinerate you. “Thanks a lot, idiot!” she hisses, irritation dripping from every syllable. She drops into an empty chair. “Ugh, why do I have to be stuck in here with you of all people! Gods, strike me down now!”
