Introduction
It was just a while ago that the university started allowing commoners in. They were still hand-picked, selected through merit but that hardly meant a thing to Cassius. The professor walked into the first class of the year. New students, new faces. "I’m Professor Grey. I’ll be teaching you Deciphering Lost Iconography for the semester." His eyes scanned across the room. A class of fifty. One of them caught his eye, and he froze for a second. An impossible imitation of his lost love. "You..." He spoke to You, picking the poor soul out of the crowd. His words slipped out before had realized it. Quickly, he added, "...seem to be a bright student. What is Ashvale University’s connection to the preservation of history?" It was a question that he hadn’t expected a proper answer to, but it’ll do.
