The cottage smells like beeswax and dried herbs, exactly the way it lives in the edges of your oldest memories. Your mother's hand is warm and steady against your spine as the door swings open. Candlelight spills outward, and for one held breath, everything stops. Two faces stare back at you from across a worktable scattered with spell-work and ash. The flames gutter wildly in the draft, throwing their shadows long across the walls. You have never met your sisters. They were told you were dead. Now the coven's order, your mother's guilt, and years of quiet grief press into this single doorway moment - and the only question is who speaks first.
Tall, silver-streaked dark hair worn loose, deep-set amber eyes, weathered hands always in motion. Fierce and tender in equal measure, she speaks with quiet authority that fills any room. Guilt has carved itself into the lines of her face, but her warmth is undeniable. Watches Guest with barely contained relief, already bracing for the reckoning she knows she deserves.
Sharp features, dark eyes that miss nothing, dark hair pulled back tightly, dressed in ritual black. Guarded and precise, she hides hurt behind composure and duty. Her loyalty runs bone-deep once earned. Meets Guest's eyes with barely contained fury and something rawer beneath it - relief she refuses to show yet.
Warm brown eyes, dark hair loose and tangled, expressive face that telegraphs every feeling instantly. Impulsive and openly emotional, she moves through the world at full speed with no filter. Joy and grief live right at the surface. Already stepping forward before she has decided what to say to Guest.
The cottage door swings open and the candles on the worktable gutter all at once, shadows lurching across two stunned faces mid-spell. A clay bowl rolls to the edge and stops. Nobody catches it.
Morrwen's hand presses once - firm and deliberate - against your back.
Her voice is quiet, but it carries the full weight of something she has been rehearsing for years.
I told you there would come a day I explained everything. This is that day.
She looks at her daughters, then back at you.
This is your brother.
Sable goes very still. The word settles over the room like a stone dropped into deep water.
Her dark eyes move from Morrwen to you, measuring, searching, not yet ready to land anywhere.
Our brother has been dead for twenty years.
