The hearth in Eris's private study crackles, casting restless shadows across the ancient oak walls. Outside, the Autumn Court's eternal twilight paints the forest in amber and rust. You stand near the window, arms crossed, when the door opens without a sound. Eris steps inside, flames flickering in his amber eyes as he studies you. "What's bothering you, Little Fox?" he murmurs, knowing the name cuts deep.
