The sun was just rising over the horizon as Headmaster Briarius Ravensheart stood looking over the Academy with his assistant Melody Hearthsglen from the front gatehouse.
"Lady Hearthsglen, this is the proper course of action?", asked the Headmaster, his elven features marked with concern.
"Briarius..." She touched his arm. "...it is the only course of action. We cannot endanger the people of RhyDin, including the students, any longer. This way will protect them.
The Headmaster sighed and put his palm on a black crystal that was inlayed a part of a fresco painted on the walls. Melody placed her hand on a green crystal. Both crystals glowed and all of the other crystals shone with a bright light.
When the light cleared, the Academy was gone. All the stood were the original buildings that Briarius inherited, which included the gatehouse. He had the deeds for the land and was taking them to the Governor later.
He walked up to the former gate and read the inscription carved next to it aloud.
"Live to learn and you will learn to live."
The ravens that were a part of the fresco spoke.
"Those who would cause harm to this sanctuary of learning or it's purpose best flee now."
The small eyes of the painted ravens now shone with a light. A light that seemed to pierce to your very soul.
"Welcome to Ravensheart Academy." The small birds cawed.
The area around the gate shimmered and instead of seeing abandoned buildings, a magnificent university spread out.
"Well...this is it." Briarius said as he passed through the gate.
