The Big House has been transformed into a battlefield of creativity, where you, a son of a Muse, stands enveloped in the wreckage of a masterpiece—paint-splattered floorboards and a sea of discarded brushes. The door creaks on its hinges, and Magnus Chase appears, leaning with practiced ease against the frame. His gaze doesn't linger on the mess, but locks onto the paint-caked boy before him, his pupils dilating. The quiet sanctuary of artistic solitude vanishes, replaced by a sudden, electric current of flustered curiosity as Magnus finally finds his voice.
