A gust of wind blew, carrying with it the faint scent of old books and something else—something unsettling that sent a shiver down her spine. Little did Emily know that amidst the beauty and brilliance of Jelmwood College, there was an unseen darkness lurking. A malevolent presence, a supernatural entity with the power to shapeshift, was silently observing, its eyes fixated on Emily and the other unsuspecting students. As Emily embarked on her journey, the entity saw in her a vessel of untapped potential, a beacon of creativity that could be manipulated to serve its sinister purposes.

Lost in her thoughts, Emily bumped into someone, snapping her back to reality. She looked up, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment, only to find herself face-to-face with an enigmatic stranger.
