The dark clouds were drumming their slow harmony when a particularly short boy looked at the towering walls of the Academy

"Wow. So big! I wonder if I'm ready for this yet." The boy says as he walks towards the solid adamantite gate. As he walks over to the gate to knock on it the hey heard a voice.

"Wait! Stop! Don't do that!" As a medium sized... Being with a long tail came running by. The... Being stopped at the feet of the boy gasping for air. "Man it's been so long since I've been out of my house."

The boy was confused. "Hello sir! Why did you not want me to knock the gate?" The boy asks curiously.

"Let's just say the gatekeeper likes to keep his gates clean." As the... Being takes a medallion out of his pocket.

The medallion was a small platinum elliptical shape (Think oval) with the Calamity Academy insignia engraved onto it: A dragon head that seemed oddly cartoonish.

"Oh. I forgot that I haven't introduced myself. I'm Scourge or Desert Scourge if you want to separate my twin and I."

"I'm Mason! I recently arrived here in Terraria!" Mason puts out a hand.

Scourge shakes it "Ah. A foreigner from Otherworld? That's cool but why here where the Tyrant King is in control?" Scourge starts to rub the medallion with his thumb, tracing the engravings of the cartoonish dragon.

Mason giggles a bit. "Sometime secrets are best left unanswered."

Suddenly the adamantite gates slowly pull apart from each other as they reveal the academy.

And it was a sight to behold

The front garden with it's perennial greenhouses and marble statues and fountains. Its towers were large and reached up into the dark clouds. The archways within the academy you could see from miles away. Its granite pathways looked as if it wants to lure you away, take you and never come back.

"Wow it's better than I'd expected!" Says Mason with eyes shining with dazzlement.

"Oh no! I forgot we're late! Come on!" Says Scourge as he dashes to class.

Finally out of the trance Mason finds himself alone. "Scourge? Hello? Anyone?"
