There is now one space open, that person must be a follower of Nox.
EDIT: Now there are two spaces open! Both people must follow Nox...
This is set in an Oceanic world called Mare Maris.
The planet doesn’t spin, so half of the world faces the Sun while the other doesn’t.
Seven Eighths of the world is Ocean, called Pelagus.
The other One Eighth is an island, the size of Asia.
This Island is called Insula.
Only one strip of this island is inhabitable however, because one half is scorchingly hot, while the other is freezing cold and dark.
That strip of land is called Incolumis.
The scorching hot land is called Dies Diei.
The freezing cold, dark land is called Nox Noctis.
Within the middle of that strip is a lake.
That lake is unnamed, and it reaches from the hot land to the cold land.
To the North and South there are two cities.
Each city holds exactly 1,000,000 people each.
If a child is born, a person will die.
So the number of people never exceeds 1,000,000.
After living peacefully for millions of years, both cities were disturbed when two great beings emerged roaring from the middle of the lake.
One being had the head of an eagle, the mane of a lion, the wings and body of an eagle, the front paws of a lion and the tail of a seal. It was surrounded by fire.
The other being had the head of a wolf, the horns of a ram, the body of a wolf, the hooves of a ram and the tail of a fish. It was surrounded by a pale unearthly glow.
The northern city believed that the southern city called the spirit Nox from the dark realm Nox Noctis.
And the southern city believed that the northern city called the spirit Dies from the light realm Dies Diei.
The northern city began worshipping Dies, in hopes to protect themselves from Nox.
And the southern city did the opposite.
Both cities near the lake fled.
The northern city fled to North Ora, the northern coast, and built a great temple for Dies. They also built a small village around the temple.
The southern city fled to South Ora, the southern coast, and built a great temple for Nox. Then, they also built a small village around the temple.
In all the haste, of fleeing the city and building the temples, etc. Neither city realised that 5 children were born on each side, but 5 people did not die. So now the total population is 2,000,010. But neither city realises it.

16 years later….
A mysterious stranger enters each village, the stranger visits the performing arts school there and selects 10 students each to visit a privileged Performing Arts Academy.
10 students are taken by the two strangers, from the North and the South, to the lake in the middle of Insula. Then, the students travel out into the middle of the lake, where they reach a large castle. This academy is called Diluculo.
The students are now in the entrance hall, having woken up from their journey, and have just realised that they are in an academy with both North and South, ie. Dies and Nox followers.
* * * *
Two strangers emerge from the entrances, one is wearing a white cloak, the other a black cloak.
The one in the white cloak pulls her hood down to reveal that she is a young lady. She has fiery orange hair, midnight blue eyes and dark skin. “I am Iaran, follower of Dies. I teach dancing at this academy.”
The one in the black cloak now also pulls her hood down. Revealing dark brown hair, honey eyes and pale skin. “I am Baalinda, follower of Nox. I teach gymnastics at this academy.”
They both step forward and speak in unison, “We are the two headmistresses of this academy, Diluculo. You will learn singing, dancing, gymnastics and small amounts of herbal healing, weather magic and astronomy. There are other teachers, and you must all treat them with respect. Most do not follow either Dies, or Nox. Most follow the goddess of dawn, Diluculo, herself.”
