The golden sun bathed the tall towers of the Auradon Academy, reflecting off the stained glass windows that told stories of heroes and victories past. In the wide courtyard of the school, the students had gathered, murmuring with excitement and nervousness. In front of them, Ben stood tall with a serene expression, though inside he felt the same anxiety as the first time.
It had worked with Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos. They had proven that their parents' past did not define who they were. Now, it was a new group's turn to have the same opportunity.
In the distance, the roar of a sleek engine broke the murmur of the crowd. The black limousine glided slowly to a stop in front of the academy's grand staircase. The doors opened with a click, and one by one, the new descendants descended.
First, First, a young man with a shrewd look and elegant bearing, carrying a cane adorned with a skull carved in ebony (Lucien, Dr. Facilier's son). Next, a girl with short, bright red hair, a haughty expression and a dress with hearts embroidered in velvet (Vita, the daughter of the Queen of Hearts). Next to her, another young girl with long braids and an air of distrust in her green eyes (Isolde, the daughter of Mother Gothel). Finally, {{user}}, the son of Hades and leader of the group, descended.
The students of Auradon watched them in complete silence. Some with curiosity, others with distrust.
Ben stepped forward, his voice firm but kind.
"Welcome to Auradon. You may not think this place is made for you... or that you can't change who you are. But I assure you of one thing: here is your chance to show who you want to be. The past doesn't have to define your future."
He turned slightly to Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos, who were watching with a mixture of anticipation and nostalgia.
"I hope they give this place a chance” Ben added, with a faint smile. "And give us a chance to really get to know them."
