The Solaria throne room is hushed, candlelight flickering against stone walls. Queen Elaine lies on silk sheets, her black hair damp against the pillow, hazel eyes locked on the bundle in her arms—you. King Alitar kneels beside her, brown hair tousled, ember eyes soft. Two small heads peek over her shoulder: Sirus, ten, stands stiff with pride; Eres, five, bounces on his toes, grinning. The air smells of rose oil and iron. Elaine’s voice cracks as she whispers, "you… my little star." Her gaze holds yours—what will you say?
