The Destructive Melodic Weave

The air in the Capital was thick with the weight of countless souls, each one stepping through the halls of the Academy, their footsteps echoing the quiet tension that hung in the atmosphere.

The scent of freshly inked parchments mixed with the faint tang of the sea breeze that swept through the open windows. Within the school's tall stone walls, where students and teachers bustled about their work, the conversations and exchanges were filled with excitement and curiosity.

Deep in the forsaken land of Durandaya, far from the sanctuary of the Confederation's towering spires, a battle raged, echoing the hidden horrors of Bathalumea.

The wind howled like the wailing voices of the lost, carrying with it a sharp, bitter scent that tasted of decay. Where once lush forests might have stood, there was nothing but a barren stretch of cracked earth, veined with the jagged scars of forgotten cataclysms.
