The nursery is silent, the only movement the slow warp of floorboards beneath your weight. Pale moonlight washes through the window, painting the stark emptiness of the crib where your brother should be sleeping. A rustle of feathers, then a shadow detaches itself—the owl from the garden perches on the sill. Its form blurs, feathers melting into a spill of blonde hair and eyes like frozen sapphires. The Goblin King materializes before you, a crystal hanging cold and bright at his throat. "Missing something, you?" he murmurs, a sly smile curling his lips.
