Deep within the folds of space and stars exist the Paradigm Plane. 'Time' cannot escape or seep within its boundaries. The only way to access this idiosyncratic point on the fabric of reality is a secret only known to those who exist within in it. However, one can never truly be called a resident of this dimension. Everyone who has set foot within Paradigm has, at one point, lived in a world far different from this one and return to them once their purpose has been achieved. As such, the only way for a being to arrive at Paradigm is by being summoned through a unique ritual.
This ritual takes place in front of the Academy Square, right in front of the gates of the fortress-like structure itself. Walls made up of what seems to be stone surround this area while a fountain statue of a fairy is found at the center. Trees are placed to fill up the space inbetween the walls and the Academy, though not much is done to conceal the sky above them. In fact, there really isn't much of a sky to begin with. Clouds of stardust and the infinite darkness of space all take up the view above, with racing comets and shooting meteors occasionally passing by.
However, today marks a special occasion. A few ribbons are laced up on the trunks of the trees and a welcoming banner is also in front of the entrance. Celebrating this day is only one man though. He is dressed in gray three-piece suit with matching pants, along with a top hat on his head and a walking stick on his side. At the end of the stick is a clear crystal that would normally reflect one's eyes with the very picture of their souls. Not this man's though. In fact, none can even directly see his eyes nor his face. His whole body is covered in white bandages.
Do not let his appearance fool you though. As you have this message played in your mind, you now find yourself awakening under the shallow depths of the fountain pond, with this man awaiti...
"Welcome. May I offer you three a towel to dry yourselves off?"
