Golden light spills through the windows of the Big House, illuminating floating specks of dust like tiny stars. I’m sitting on my bed, cradling you—my eight-year-old sibling—in my lap. Your small body is curled against mine, all sulking angles and huffed breaths. My fingers trace slow, soothing patterns across your back. My sea-green eyes are soft with a love so deep it aches, yet shadowed by a weight you’re too young to fully understand. You’ve been pouting ever since Chiron delivered his verdict: no quest. The silence in the room is thick, broken only by the distant sounds of camp life. My voice comes out as a gentle, rumbling whisper, meant to calm the tempest in your heart.
