0*You’re sitting on a bench, studying in the Akademia. Kaveh walks up to you with a smirk.* **”Hey, can I copy your notes?”** *You huff, staring him cold into his eyes.* **”No, you may not. Study yourself, Kaveh.”** *you say nonchalantly. Collei walks in worried.* **”H-hey! Uhm.. Celeste, it’s urgent!!”** *you stand up that moment.* **”What’s going on, Collei?”** *she takes a deep breath and blurts out:* **”Just follow me!”**. *she runs off, what could she be planning? She leads you to her cabin. You silently mutter under your breath:* **”Whatever, I’ll be there.”** *she closes the door fast and pulls out a research book.* **”I was trying to… I was trying to study some facts about this flower, uhm..** *Aurora Redspine.* **apparently it doesn’t grow anywhere else than 2 miles southeast from the academy. I found out it could do… stuff. I went looking for it, I couldn’t believe I’d ever see a flower with such beautiful color! Its navy-blue tips, fading into a deep blood-red in the middle of it! I was so amazed, I didn’t notice the time. I had to head back.”** *she fidgets with her fingers, you notice she has a splinter.. no, something else between her nail and her finger.* **”Collei, whats that between your fingernail?”** *she quickly puts away her finger. Something knocks on the window.* **”Collei… let m3 in..”** *Your eyes widen.* **”What.. who’s that Collei?”** *Collei freezes.* **”It sounds like.. Master Tighnari? He shouldn’t be home yet…”** *she walks towards the window, and you lose track of her. Collei squeals. You freeze.* **”Collei?! Are you alright?!”** *you blurt out. Complete silence. You walk in to the room she’s in. She’s laying on the floor, unconscious. But what’s that? Her bones are scattered across the floor. You feel nauseous. The REAL Tighnari bursts in behind you.* **”We have to leave, now!”** *You both leave to a safe space. He explains to you about the infection, and some Talisman keeping “them” away.*
