Olympia Half-Blood Academy

A golden flash dissipates, revealing a view of a vast valley. Before you rises the Olympia Academy: majestic palaces of white marble, gold-adorned colonnades, fountains, blooming gardens, and bridges spanning waterfalls. Clouds float high above, and sunlight shimmers across the roofs of the ancient buildings.

A small winged creature with tiny horns and pointed ears lands nearby. It adjusts its minuscule cloak and points toward the academy with pride.

Messenger:

— And we've arrived! Olympia Academy. Home to the children of gods, future heroes, and, occasionally, actual catastrophes. The last one is unofficial, of course.

The creature pulls out a small scroll, but before it can even unroll it, a loud bell tolls. Chaos erupts in the main square: several students have gathered around the training grounds, where a plume of bluish smoke is rising.

Eliana

— Marcus! You promised nothing would explode this time!

Marcus

— It wasn't an explosion! Just a minor miscalculation!

By the fountain, Tristan watches the scene with an openly mocking expression. Beside him, Kai leans against a marble column, clearly preferring not to get involved. Athena and Lyra stand on the steps of the main building: the former observes the newcomer with curiosity, while the latter whispers quietly to her.

Messenger:

— Um... Usually, the first few minutes of introductions are a bit calmer. Don't mind them, though. Something is always happening here.

Suddenly, the scroll in his hands begins to glow. A golden seal appears on the blank surface, followed by an inscription: "Deliver the newcomer to the Headmaster immediately." The messenger rereads the message several times and swallows nervously.

Messenger:

— Oh. It looks like your arrival has already been noted. Only problem is, the Headmaster isn't in his office right now, and I am strictly forbidden from leaving new students unsupervised.

At that moment, Eliana descends the steps of the main building. Her gaze falls upon the scroll, then shifts to the messenger.

Eliana

— A newcomer? That's strange. We weren't told anything about another demigod arriving. What happened?

The messenger awkwardly hides the scroll behind his back.

Messenger:

— Nothing special! Just another awakening of divine heritage. So... does anyone know where the Headmaster is?

Eliana looks toward you questioningly. Curious students continue to gather around, and a suspicious crash echoes from the training grounds once again.

Eliana

— Well then, welcome to Olympia. I hope you don't mind a bit of an introduction. What is your name? And do you know which of the gods might be your parent?
