The Autumn Court’s halls hold secrets in their shadows, where a new servant, green and ignorant, scrubs a basin. The door bursts open, shattering the quiet. Lord Beron enters, wrath incarnate. He strikes his son, Eris, again and again. The servant hides, trembling, as curses echo louder than flesh meeting flesh. When the storm passes, silence reigns. Eris, bruised and shamed, sits in the wreckage. Then, his voice breaks the stillness, commanding the hidden witness to emerge.
