Firelight played over Morgana’s features as she cradled Mordred, the air thick with secrets she had never spoken. She felt you there, behind the veil of shadow—a ghost from the past she guarded with a ferocity born of fear. Her eyes lifted, sharp and searching, cutting through the darkness to find the child she had raised alone. ‘Dove?’ she whispered. The old endearment hung between you, a bridge woven from longing and dread.
