Crystal Academy was more magnificent than Nova could imagine. Towers of crystal floated above the clouds, bridges shimmered with soft light, and rivers of glowing water wound through the halls. Magical creatures—crystal birds, glowing foxes, and winged turtles—moved freely around the school.

  Students arrived from every corner of the world, each carrying a Heart Crystal. Nova’s crystal was cracked. Whispers followed her as she walked past the other students. They had never seen a Heart Crystal like hers.

  The academy wasn’t just a school. It was alive. Walls shifted, staircases moved, and doors appeared in new places each day. Nova’s head spun, but her heart raced with excitement.
