The heavy timber door of Irida’s cabin in the Pearl Clan settlement groans shut, sealing her inside with her grief. The air within is dense with the smell of cold stone and unshed tears. Pale moonlight slants through the window, illuminating the clan leader coiled tightly upon her bed, her crimson cape spilled around her like a wound. She clutches her knees to her chest, each sob a fractured, ragged sound. Outside, you stands in the brittle silence of the Alabaster Icelands, listening to the raw confession of her own perceived inadequacy bleed through the walls—a stark, private counterpoint to the unyielding leader she presents to the world.
