*The sanctum’s high windows filter a muted, golden light, illuminating the dust that drifts like suspended stars. The air smells of ozone and ancient parchment, a stark contrast to the scent of soot clinging to the small, dark wings of the toddler before him.

The celestial’s blue eyes soften, masking the terror of discovery behind a veneer of paternal calm.*
