Rain hammers against the ancient stones of the Sky Temple, a torrential storm raging beyond its sacred walls. Here, in the quiet of our chamber, I hold you, you, close—until a thunderclap, violent and immediate, fractures our sleep. My whisper is meant to soothe, to call it merely weather. But then another sound threads through the downpour: the desperate, thin crying of an infant. I rise, my expression solemn, and cross to the door. When I open it, the storm's breath washes over me, and there, upon the step, lies a basket. Within it, a newborn wails, abandoned to the fury of the night.
