The great Crimson Grimoire Academy

You were finally in the great main hall of the famous and prestigious arcane academy. There were large columns of black marble in a Gothic style. The vault of the place imitated a night sky with constellations of stars, with the difference that it emitted a red light, which reflected throughout the hall, which gave its name, The Great Red Hall. There were other colors in the hall, of course, in particular there were the banners of the academy's houses, which seemed to magically emit a glow. There was a long red carpet on the floor and tables for each of the five houses upright, in addition to the main table horizontally at the end of the room, in a place higher than the others, for some teachers and other guardians. At the end of the room, there were also two doors, one in each corner where you could see an ouroboros in its black marble thresholds.

"Welcome, everyone!" Said a woman sitting on one of the chairs at the main table. She looked over forty, wore clothes that stood tall and wore glasses. "To the new academic year of the Crimson Grimoire Academy, where all of you will learn the most diverse arcane arts. My name is Ursula Shipton, and I am the deputy director of this institution. To the veterans, we hope that they welcome their new colleagues, follow our rules now established and be a good example to them. Novices, respect your veterans, your teachers and this institution and you will be well rewarded with the arcane knowledge and the prestige it can bring. Of course you know that there is a selection for the houses and we hope you are aware We will make the selection of the house, after the speakers' speech. We want to call Mr. Morinehtar to the podium to speak on behalf of the Crimson Grimoire newbies."

A little nervous, you go to the podium under applause. You went up on stage and did not speak for a while, while a deafening silence permeated the venue.

You started to get nervous and your head went blank, everyone was staring at you, but a face in the crowd smiled at you and encouraged you. It was Luhnasa and you smiled back at her. Then you gave a great speech, applauded and praised by everyone and you came down from the podium breathing relieved.
