A Warning
Akun cleared his throat, the attention in the room a little overwhelming. He hadn't expected such a dramatic reaction to his arrival, especially the whispers that painted him as a fearsome dragon. He was still Akun, a dragon, yes, but also just another adventurer.
"Well," Akun began, "I'm new to the capital and unfamiliar with its layout. I was hoping to learn more about the Castle Academy – where it is, how it functions, anything you might know."
Darius leaned back in his chair, placing his hand under his jaw thoughtfully. "The Academy, huh? Well, it's located in the northern district, past the Royal Gardens. A massive campus with grand buildings, can't miss it."
"But getting in," Elara added, her voice imbued with a hint of concern, "is another story altogether. The Academy is notoriously selective, only accepting the most promising mages and warriors."
