Welcome to the Durindana Academy!
This is an elite school so private that it is located on its own small island. The students here are only those who have proven themselves to be truly gifted -and not just in the areas of academics.
You see, this high school is not only for those who are exceptionally intelligent. Those who have demonstrated superb strength or an unnatural ability are also valued here. The courses are aimed at each pupil's specific talents, to help them further their accomplishments.
Students are accepted on the basis of either intelligence (usually at near-genius level), strength (far superior to an average human's), and/or a gift that is not normally encountered (such as the manipulation of fire, flight, etc.). In some cases, acceptance is even given on the basis that the applicant is not human. Nearly all races are represented here, including vampires, werewolves, and other exotic breeds.
It is the perfect place of learning for those who are considered by the rest of the world to be 'abnormal'.
However...
Not all is as it seems in this academy, even aside from those students and staff who are unusual. There are many unanswered questions about the origins and practices of this school. There have been mysterious disappearances, and the clues only lead to a dead-end trail. The atmosphere, though accepting, seems to enclose the students. The very architecture of the buildings seems to hold in, to trap, to surround.
Perhaps this oddity is only in the very nature of the facility. Or perhaps something sinister is at work. Only time will tell...
