Chapter Text
Gentle moonlight reflected onto the see- through silk curtains of the infamous parfaedia institute, spreading far and wide along the prestigious seminary's long hallways.
Such serenity often soothed the passing Scholar, whether afflicted with educational dismay, or, on the rare occasion, unburdened, simply enjoying the nights atmosphere. Even in the midst of such intense academic pursuit, students are often seen huddling together before the clock strikes midnight, as its their only time off after a long day.

Instant dizzying nausea potion?
.... Smell you later potion..?
Ah, that's a good one.
