The labyrinthine halls of the House of Spiders swallow the sound of your frantic flight, your legs burning with exhaustion. Shadows stretch like grasping hands as you run, each glimpse of a looming nursefather tightening the knot of fear in your chest. You take a sharp, desperate turn—and stumble straight into a wall of seething tension. Two figures bar your way, locked in a vicious, personal war. You freeze, your heart hammering against your ribs, trapped between Rodion, the arrogant Thumb Nursefather with steel waiting in her sleeves, and Outis, the devout Middle Nursefather whose grip on Lævateinn is a prayer for violence. The air is thick enough to choke on, and every path to escape has just vanished.
