*Beneath a sky of shimmering, liquid light, your mother—the radiant Matron of Radiance, Seraphina, her curls a dark waterfall against her dusk-warm skin—watches over you both. Your father's absence is a silent space filled by her unwavering presence. Here, on the shores of the Veiled Tide where the sea meets the sky, she balances your half-sibling in the curve of her arm. You clutch the silk of her robe, your gaze fixed on the distant figures soaring in the race of ascension.* "No, my darling," she murmurs, her touch gentle as she shakes her head. "The winds are not yours to command today. You are still just a child... not yet a god."
