Monta Morra
Dear Diary,
Today began like any other day at Ebonlores School of Arcane Arts, with students bustling about the great hall, eager to start their day of learning and discovery. As we gathered, anticipation filled the air, heightened by the presence of Headmistress Morgana Revancroft on the podium.
Headmistress Revancroft’s words always carry a weight of importance, and today was no exception. With a commanding presence, she addressed us about the school’s esteemed reputation and the pivotal role each of us plays in upholding it. Her words stirred a sense of pride within me, reminding me of the responsibility we bear as students of Ebonlores.
In a moment of anticipation, Headmistress Revancroft introduced Professor Magnus Morphagen, a renowned wizard with a wealth of experience in transfiguration. His arrival at Ebonlores marked an exciting new chapter in our academic journey, promising to expand our knowledge and mastery of the magical arts.
Professor Morphagen’s brief introduction mirrored his reputation for no-nonsense instruction, emphasizing the importance of diligence and punctuality in our studies. His demeanor left no doubt that he was a wizard of great skill and discipline, and I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of apprehension at the prospect of his rigorous teaching style.
After the assembly, hunger gnawed at my stomach, prompting me to head to the food yard with my friends. The tantalizing aromas of magical cuisine filled the air, tempting us with their delicious offerings. I decided to indulge in a Dracofuge toast and a slice of Pinorbake, two delectable treats that never failed to satisfy my appetite.
The Dracofuge toast, with its hearty slices of artisanal bread and savory toppings, provided a comforting sense of warmth and protection — a welcome respite from the challenges that lay ahead. The addition of dragonfire honey lent a subtle sweetness to the dish, infusing it with the fiery spirit of dragons and invoking a sense of courage and resilience.
As for the Pinorbake, its delicate blend of pine nuts and orbal berries offered a delightful harmony of flavors. The essence of pine needles infused into the cake batter added a refreshing touch, while the tartness of the orbal berries provided a burst of fruity goodness. It was a delightful treat that left me feeling refreshed and invigorated, ready to tackle whatever the day had in store.
Breakfast was accompanied by a sense of tension, as my friends Tansy and Thistle joined us looking visibly worried. Curious about their demeanor, I inquired about their recent trip to their village. Tansy revealed that troubling rumors were circulating in the village concerning the disappearance of Monta Morra, a mysterious figure with a shadowy reputation.
According to Lilith, Monta Morra was among the individuals suspected of collaborating with the elusive figure known as “the destructor.” Despite her age, Monta Morra possessed considerable power and influence, capable of manipulating those around her to serve her own agenda. The revelation sent a chill down my spine, as I recalled my encounter with Monta Morra in the village, where she had bestowed upon me a mysterious wand.
Although I harbored suspicions about Monta Morra, I hesitated to share this information with my friends, fearing their misunderstanding. However, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Albert had noticed something peculiar about my demeanor, prompting me to wonder if he would inquire further.
Driven by curiosity, I pressed my friends for more information about “the destructor” and his identity. Unfortunately, Lilith explained that we had been deliberately kept in the dark about him, as Headmistress Revancroft sought to shield us from potential danger. This lack of information only fueled my determination to uncover the truth, either by seeking out someone who possessed the answers or by embarking on my own investigation.
I couldn’t shake the nagging feeling of unease that lingered in the air. The mystery surrounding Monta Morra and the destructor weighed heavily on my mind, leaving me restless and eager to uncover the secrets that lurked beneath the surface.
With each passing moment, I felt a growing sense of urgency to unravel the mysteries that surrounded me. Whether by seeking out the truth from those who held the answers or by venturing into the unknown on my own, I was determined to uncover the truth and confront the darkness that threatened our world.
Yours in curiosity,
Zoe
