Third wish: Volume One

episode 1: decision

The Lion's Den stands tall and proud in the heart of the Staw district, a towering edifice made of concrete, steel, and glass. Its white and rusted orange facade catches the eye from miles away, with large windows that let in plenty of natural light. Leon Lyon, a close comrade of Romeo, calls The Lion's Den his home, a cozy apartment on the 23rd floor. Despite the hustle and bustle of urban life, The Lion's Den offers a peaceful retreat from the chaos, a sanctuary for those who seek comfort, luxury, and a bit of adventure.

Romeo stood in front of Leon's apartment door, the red letter clutched tightly in his hand. It was the acceptance letter from Sunstone Academy, one of the most prestigious schools in the entire planet, and it meant that his life was about to change forever. He took a deep breath, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety bubbling inside of him. He had always dreamed of attending Sunstone Academy, with its cutting-edge technology, renowned faculty, and endless opportunities for academic and personal growth. But now that the dream had become a reality, he wasn't sure if he was ready for it. He wasn't sure if he wanted it.

Romeo Martin a 19-year-old black boy with a striking appearance. He has a beautiful dark skin complexion that seems to glow in the sunlight, and his maroon-colored eyes are a unique feature that sets him apart from others. Unlike his best friend Leon, Romeo has a skinnier build, which gives him a lean and agile appearance.

One of Romeo's most distinctive features is the unique-shaped orange lens-colored glasses that he wears. The glasses add a touch of quirkiness to his overall appearance and make him stand out from the crowd. They were a gift from his dad's.

Romeo is often seen wearing a short-sleeved, sleeveless red sweater vest with a white shirt underneath. He pairs this with blue jeans and red shoes, creating a stylish and fashionable look. His hairstyle is a short fade, which Leon often teases him about, calling it basic. However, Romeo is confident in his appearance and wears his hair with pride.

In terms of height, Romeo is of average height, standing around 5'9". Despite his lean build, he has a graceful and confident presence that draws others to him.

He hesitated for a moment, then rang the doorbell. The sound echoed through the hallway, and he heard footsteps approaching from inside. The door swung open, revealing Leon, his high school best friend and the person he trusted the most in the world. Leon looked surprised and happy to see him, but also a bit puzzled by the red letter in his hand.

Leon a 19-year-old black boy with an athletic muscular build, standing at around 6 feet tall. He has dark skin complexion that seems to glisten in the sunlight, with a sharp and angular jawline that gives him a rugged look. His eyes are a striking shade of orange, which contrasts with his dark skin tone and gives him an intense and focused gaze.

Leon's most distinctive feature is the scar that runs across his nose, which adds to his rugged appearance and gives him an air of mystery. He doesn't talk about how he got it, which makes it even more intriguing to those around him.

His hair is styled in shoulder-length dreadlocks, which he often keeps hanging low near his jawline, The dreadlocks are thick and well-kept, with a natural shine that complements his overall appearance.

Leon is often seen wearing an orange jersey with the number two on it, which shows his support for his favorite skyball team. The jersey is well-fitted to his muscular build, emphasizing his athletic physique. Overall, Leon is a striking and memorable figure, with a confident and imposing presence that draws attention wherever he goes.

"Hey, Romeo! What's up? You look like you've seen Amber without makeup" Leon said, smiling warmly.

Romeo swallowed hard, then handed him the letter. "I got accepted into Sunstone Academy," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
