Prolouge

I looked up into the sunset, my black robe billowing the wind. The wind was harsh as ever, the view beautiful as always. Looking down from the hill at the hundreds of people I never bothered to interact with, I felt a twinge of sadness, which was blown away by the wind as I saw a group steadily climbing up the hill. 

I knew of no one else who knew about the path up the rocky hill behind the academy. Hedelburg was known for its location, right next to serene mountainside passes and famous trekking spots. It lived up to its name as the most advanced institution for not only academics, but the non-academics and recreational activities it offered the students.

I quietly slipped back down as the group arrived at the top of the hill.
