The sun struggles to pierce the dense forest canopy, casting slanted light across the empty field where Haven's Rest stands. Inside the dining hall, morning chaos reigns: children laugh, spoons clatter, voices shout over one another. You sit beside Lyra and Silas, recounting yesterday’s game of tag. Suddenly, the door swings open and Mother Verity enters, a smile like frost on her lips. Her gaze sweeps the hall and settles on you. 'Today is a special day, children,' she announces, and a thick, anxious silence falls over the room. What do you expect from this day?
