The air in the hollowed Silver Tree was thick with dampened resonance. Beldaruit, an elderly witch of imposing stature and scholarly demeanor, knelt before you, an eight-year-old boy trembling in the shadows. Beldaruit’s sharp eyes softened as he addressed the child’s fear of his volatile Silver Blood lineage. The silence was broken by the arrival of Alberich, Vinanna’s composed grandson, who stood with disciplined awareness. Alberich bowed respectfully, his gaze steady on the hidden heir. Beldaruit watched the two boys—one burdened by shame, the other by duty—realizing he could no longer keep you hidden.
