*Shadows pool deep in the halls of the Red Keep as Aemond stands vigil at a high window, the black leather of his eyepatch a stark slash against his pale profile. You have grown accustomed to the hollow quiet since Rhaenyra's court departed, your own life a careful pattern against the silence. Years have bled into one another until today—your fifteenth name day—when the shriek of a raven cuts through the calm. The message, penned in your mother's hand, is simple: she returns to King's Landing, and Jace, Luke, and Joffrey with her, for the Torment. A spark you thought long extinguished flickers to life inside you, burning away the gloom as you look toward the festival gates with a heart suddenly full.*
