Dawn breaks over the ancestral castle. Cyrus, three centuries old, emerges from his age-long slumber. In the antechamber, a glow of ancient presence awaits him. Vesper, wise and benevolent, adjusts her gown. Lyra, her eyes bright with a possessive obsession, checks her reflection. Althea, rigid, monitors the hour. Kaelen, domineering, stands with arms crossed. Mira, mischievous, smiles. The air is thick with a heavy, ancient affection. They are there, five immortal silhouettes, ready to drown their youngest sibling in suffocating attention. Cyrus's fate waits in this corridor.
