Chapter 14: Morgana Senpai
As Lyra stepped out of Principal Thorne's office, she was greeted by a striking young woman with long, raven-black hair and piercing green eyes. The girl was dressed in the same Ashborne Academy uniform as Lyra, but she carried herself with an air of confidence and sophistication that set her apart from the other students.
"Lady Lyra, I presume?" the girl said, her voice smooth and melodic. "I'm Morgana, an upperclassman here at Ashborne Academy. I've been assigned to help you navigate your schedule and get acquainted with the campus."
Lyra smiled, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Morgana. Thank you for taking the time to help me."
Morgana returned the smile, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Think nothing of it. It's my duty and pleasure to assist new students, especially those with such an intriguing background."
As they set off towards the dormitory, Morgana led Lyra through the awe-inspiring campus, pointing out the various buildings and landmarks along the way. Lyra couldn't help but marvel at the grandeur of it all, from the soaring gothic arches to the meticulously landscaped gardens.
"Is everyone here a Sanguine Essence user?" Lyra asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.
Morgana laughed, a musical sound that echoed through the courtyard. "Yes, Ashborne Academy is known for its high concentration of 'vampires,' as some might call us. But we're nothing like the ghouls you might have encountered in the boonies where you're from. We're civilized, cultured, and in complete control of our abilities."
Lyra nodded, absorbing this new information. She had always been fascinated by the stories of Sanguine Essence users, but had never encountered any in her small village. The thought of being surrounded by so many powerful and sophisticated individuals was both thrilling and intimidating.
As they approached the dormitory, a grand, ivy-covered building with ornate windows and a sprawling front lawn, Morgana turned to Lyra with a mischievous grin. "I think you'll find that life at Ashborne Academy is full of surprises, Lyra. Stick with me, and I'll make sure you never have a dull moment."
