Present Day: (age 16)

My heels echoed through the marble halls of Eldora Academy, a place where prestige permeated every inch of the ivy-covered walls. In the sanctuary of academia, where privilege and intellect danced hand in hand, I found myself navigating the labyrinth of grandeur. The morning sunlight streamed through stained glass windows, casting a kaleidoscope of colors on the polished floors. The halls, echoing through generations of legacy and tradition.


Eldora Academy, a bastion of the elite, held its secrets close, guarded by the statuesque busts of esteemed figures lining the corridors. The hallowed library, with its ancient tomes and leather-bound wisdom, seemed to breathe with the weight of accumulated knowledge.

The students, clad in impeccable uniforms, In the hallowed halls of Eldora Academy, the attire worn by students was a testament to the school's commitment to tradition and excellence.
