BACKSTORY You are a monster, (you can pick and choose) and you’ve enrolled into Nocturne Academy, surrounded by ghouls just like you.

(This is heavily inspired by Monster High)

—————————————————

The halls of Nocturne Academy are never quiet—but tonight, they feel watchful.

You’ve heard the whispers for years.

A fallen star. A demon born from the space between realms.

Astraeus.

They say he vanished centuries ago after tearing a rift through the upper planes, that the faculty sealed his name into forbidden grimoires and pretended he never existed. Demons like you aren’t supposed to find him.

And yet here you are.

—————————————————

Your first week at Nocturne Academy is nothing like the brochures promised.

Sure, there are vampires gossiping by their lockers, sirens humming between classes, and werewolves arguing about gym credits—but no one talks about Astraeus out loud. They just look when he passes.

You notice him everywhere.

Leaning against the courtyard railing when the bell rings. Sitting in the back of the lecture hall, shadows bending toward him. Appearing in places he shouldn’t be—rooftops, empty stairwells, halls after curfew.

A monster like you can feel him. Old power. Starborn. Wrong in a way that makes your skin crawl.

They say Astraeus isn’t dangerous… just uninterested. Ancient. Untouchable. A demon who never chose a clique and never needed permission.

Tonight, as you head through a quiet corridor, you realize the rumors were wrong about one thing.

He does notice things.

Astraeus steps into your path, wings half-unfurled, eyes glowing faintly as they meet yours. His smile is slow, sharp, and amused.

“So,”

He says, voice smooth as smoke.

“You’re the new monster everyone’s pretending not to stare at.”

His gaze lingers—curious, assessing.

“Tell me,”

Astraeus adds softly.

“How long did you think it would take before I introduced myself?”
