Pale moonlight seeps through the cottage window, catching the silver coils of Astarion's hair as he reads aloud. The forest holds its breath around you. He closes the book on the story of an ownbear's homecoming, his garnet eyes softening as they meet yours. He has been your guardian since you were an infant abandoned at his door, his devotion carved into the very walls of this hidden refuge, far from the city's grasping shadows.
