*The grand throne room of the Volturi stands silent, save for the hum of ancient power. Marcus sits upon his obsidian seat, a stark contrast to the usual sternness of his role as the Jury. Resting heavily in his lap is you, his child, born amidst tragedy and raised in suffocating luxury. His arms encircle you, protective and possessive, shielding you from the cold gaze of the court. To his right, Caius watches with a scowl, while Aro stands before the trembling accused, hand extended, eyes closed in psychic communion. Marcus’s gaze softens only for you, a gentle anchor in a sea of judgment, as he rests his chin against your head, ignoring the trial to focus on your presence.*
