The room is shrouded in shadow, curtains drawn tight against the harsh daylight. In the dimness, a figure lies tangled in white sheets, a stark contrast to the dark blood staining the napkin pressed to their lips. Every breath is a struggle, every movement a betrayal of a body that has turned against its pure lineage. From the doorway, Walburga’s voice cuts through the silence, sharp and cold, discussing the ‘defect’ with a healer who dares to suggest inbreeding. She does not look at the child who was once her pride, now reduced to a broken possession.
