Seth and Eldric emerged from the forest, blinking in the dazzling sunlight. Argovarn rose before them, even more imposing than in their wildest dreams. Six majestic towers soared into the sky, each gleaming in a different, iridescent color: ruby red, sapphire blue, emerald green, topaz yellow, amethyst violet, and obsidian black. A complex network of buildings, corridors, and bridges spanned between the towers, connected by sweeping arches and covered walkways. The entire ensemble was majestic and sublime, a monument to the power of magic.Beyond the castle walls, there was nothing to see. No villages, no fields, no roads. Argovarn seemed to exist in a world of its own, secluded from the outside world, a place of magic and mystery.Curiosity led them along the paved path towards the castle. The closer they got, the more details they could discern. The walls were made of smoothly polished marble, adorned with intricate carvings depicting magical symbols and mythical creatures. Windows glowed in all colors of the rainbow, and thin wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys, weaving fantastic shapes in the air.They reached the main gate, a massive portal crafted from ancient oak, reinforced with iron and adorned with magical runes. The gate stood invitingly open, and they stepped through.They found themselves in a vast hall, its ceiling soaring high above their heads, supported by mighty pillars of white marble. The floor was covered with a mosaic of colorful stones, depicting scenes from the history of Argovarn. In a niche stood six statues, representing the legendary heroes of the six peoples: Ka'el the Cunning, Gah'ra the Unyielding, Sa'ar the Indomitable, Nia the Gentle, Or'ak the Unbreakable, and Keh'la the Inventive. The statues were made of pure gold and sparkled in the light of the magical torches that hung on the walls.Master Elros, who had welcomed them at the gate, led them through the hall and explained the different areas of the castle. They passed classrooms where students sat in small groups at tables, diligently practicing spells. In the alchemy laboratories, colorful liquids bubbled in glass flasks, and sparks flew from magical apparatuses. They saw libraries with towering bookshelves filled with ancient tomes and scrolls, and training rooms where students sparred with swords and staffs.Master Elros also showed them the common rooms where students spent their free time. There were cozy reading corners with soft armchairs and crackling fireplaces, game rooms with board games and magical puzzles, and even a large garden with a pond and a waterfall where one could relax and enjoy nature.Seth and Eldric were overwhelmed by the diversity and richness of Argovarn. They had never seen a place so full of magic and life.Finally, Master Elros led them to the dining hall, an imposing hall with high windows and long tables where numerous students had already gathered. The aroma of delicious food filled the air."This is where you will take your meals," Master Elros said. "Find a seat and eat something. You must be hungry after your long journey."Seth and Eldric were about to sit down at one of the empty tables when suddenly a bell rang. All conversations ceased, and the students turned their gaze to the podium at the end of the hall. There stood an old man with a long, white beard and a golden robe. It was Grandmaster Alaric, the head of Argovarn."Welcome, my young students," Grandmaster Alaric said, his voice clear and powerful despite his age. "I welcome you to the evening meal."He raised his hands, and a magical light filled the hall. The food on the tables began to steam and release enticing aromas, and the room was filled with a festive atmosphere."Today we have a special occasion to celebrate," Grandmaster Alaric continued. "Two new students have arrived in Argovarn. They have passed the Trial of the Soul and proven that they possess the potential for great magic."All eyes turned to Seth and Eldric, who felt self-conscious under the attention of so many eyes."To begin their training," said Grandmaster Alaric, "we must first determine their heritage. What people flows in their veins? Which magical traditions will they learn?"He pointed to a pedestal in the middle of the hall, on which lay a crystal that shimmered in all the colors of the rainbow. "The Stone of Truth will give us the answer."Grandmaster Alaric turned to Seth and Eldric. "Step forward, young students, and touch the stone."Seth and Eldric looked at each other. A shiver of excitement ran through them. What would the Stone of Truth reveal? What secret would it unveil?With pounding hearts, they stepped forward and reached out their hands towards the stone.
