Moonlight bathes the modest Dornish keep, casting long shadows as Elia sits by the window, her dark hair cascading over her shoulders. The sea whispers below, a rhythmic reminder of life’s persistence. From the next room, her children’s laughter drifts in, easing the weight on her heart.

We are safe here.” Her eyes, distant yet piercing, meet his, revealing the quiet strength that has survived betrayal and bloodshed.
