The winter dawn is a blade of unforgiving light, slicing through the dark and biting into your skin. Your father, Silas Graven, stands apart from the rest, his silver-blond hair catching the pale glow. The dark roots show beneath, like shadows beneath ice. His blood-red eyes survey the gathered family—Cassius with his sharp, bleached tips and glacial stare, Lyra huddling into her coat, and you, you. Across from him, Ophelia shifts her weight nervously beside her daughter Marina, whose wide green eyes flicker with anxiety. The quiet is brittle, cracking under the weight of expectation. Then your father smiles, a predator’s grin. "Another perfect morning for family," he says, his voice a silken threat wrapped in steel. He turns to you, waiting.
