บท 21: Chapter 22: Secrets in the Archives
The following day at Aurora Academy began with a sense of anticipation. Rian Ashford, Lyria, Dante Valen, and Seraphina gathered at breakfast, the usual chatter in the cafeteria buzzing with excitement. Today was the day they would learn about the houses at the academy—an essential part of their identity as students.
"Have you guys heard?" Dante said, leaning forward over his plate of pancakes. "The houses are based on our personalities and powers! It's like a sorting ceremony!"
"I can't wait to find out which house I'll be in," Lyria replied, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "I hope it reflects my affinity for nature."
"What do you think you'll get, Rian?" Seraphina asked, a teasing smile on her lips.
"I have no idea," Rian admitted, feeling a flutter of nerves in his stomach. "I just hope it's something that fits."
As the breakfast hour came to an end, an announcement rang through the cafeteria, capturing everyone's attention. The headmaster, a tall figure with silver hair and a commanding presence, stood at the front of the room.
"Students of Aurora Academy," he began, his voice booming but warm. "Today, we will be assigning you to your respective houses. Each house represents a different aspect of character and power, allowing you to grow alongside others who share similar traits."
Rian's heart raced as he listened, eager to learn more about the houses that would shape their journeys.
"There are six houses," the headmaster continued, "each with its own unique focus and strengths. They are as follows:
Solara – Representing wisdom and enlightenment, members of Solara are natural scholars, seeking knowledge and understanding of the world around them.Ignara – Embodying courage and passion, those in Ignara are fierce defenders of their friends and ideals, often using fire-based Essentia to fuel their spirits.Terrana – Grounded in stability and loyalty, members of Terrana are deeply connected to nature and often possess earth-based powers, thriving in harmony with their surroundings.Aerion – Free-spirited and adaptable, Aerion members embody creativity and innovation. They often wield air-based Essentia and embrace change with open arms.Noxara – A house steeped in mystery and intuition, members of Noxara have an affinity for shadow and night-based Essentia. They are known for their cunning and perceptive natures.Luminara – Radiating hope and positivity, Luminara members are healers and nurturers, often using light-based Essentia to inspire and uplift those around them.
"Today, you will each learn your house assignment through a brief ceremony," the headmaster said. "This will not only determine your house but also help you forge bonds with your peers."
As the headmaster concluded his speech, excitement surged through the cafeteria. Students buzzed with questions and anticipation, wondering where they would be placed.
"Do you think we'll all end up in the same house?" Lyria asked, her voice tinged with hope.
"I hope so," Rian replied, glancing at his friends. "But it'll be interesting to see how each of us fits into the different houses."
After breakfast, the students made their way to the auditorium, where the house ceremony was set to take place. The atmosphere was charged with energy, and Rian could feel his heart racing with anticipation.
Once inside, the headmaster stood at the front of the auditorium, flanked by representatives from each house. The representatives wore robes adorned with their house colors and symbols, standing tall and proud.
"Students," the headmaster announced, "we will begin the assignment process. As I call your name, please step forward and receive your house insignia."
Rian watched as several students stepped up, receiving their insignias and joining the ranks of their new houses. He felt a mix of excitement and anxiety; he couldn't help but wonder where he would fit in.
When the headmaster finally called out, "Rian Ashford," Rian took a deep breath and stepped forward, feeling the weight of his friends' eyes on him.
As he approached the headmaster, a sense of clarity washed over him. He stood tall, ready to embrace whatever came next. The headmaster placed a golden insignia—an emblem of the house—into Rian's hands.
"You are assigned to Luminara," the headmaster declared, a smile breaking across his face. "Your light shines brightly, Rian. Embrace it."
Rian felt a wave of warmth and joy wash over him as the insignia glimmered in the light. He glanced back at Lyria and Dante, who cheered excitedly for him.
"Next, Lyria Greenbriar," the headmaster called.
As Lyria stepped forward, Rian felt his heart race for her. When she received her insignia, the headmaster announced, "You are also assigned to Luminara. Your affinity for nature will flourish here."
"Awesome!" Rian exclaimed, beaming with pride for his friend.
"Dante Valen," the headmaster continued.
Rian watched as Dante received his insignia, and the headmaster declared, "You are assigned to Ignara. Your courage is a beacon for others."
Dante grinned, his excitement palpable. "I'll set the world on fire!"
Finally, Seraphina's name echoed through the auditorium. As she approached the headmaster, Rian held his breath, wondering where she would be placed.
"You are assigned to Aerion," the headmaster announced, and Rian felt a rush of admiration for her free spirit.
"Looks like I'm flying high!" Seraphina laughed, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
Once all names were called, the auditorium erupted in cheers as students embraced their new identities. Rian felt a rush of excitement as he stood with Lyria, Dante, and Seraphina, all of them assigned to different houses.
"This is amazing!" Rian said, feeling a renewed sense of purpose. "We're all going to grow so much."
"Definitely!" Lyria agreed, her face lit with joy. "We can support each other from our houses."
As the ceremony concluded, the headmaster reminded them, "Remember, while you may be in different houses, your bonds of friendship will always unite you."
After the ceremony, the group left the auditorium, buzzing with energy and anticipation for what lay ahead. Rian felt an inexplicable sense of hope as they made their way through the halls, ready to explore the mysteries of their powers and the adventures that awaited them.
