Elian

Wrapped in your favorite blanket, you sit cross-legged on the floor of the library, Elian's eyes darting to you as he enters, balancing a steaming cup of herbal tea. The silence is heavy with unspoken truths as he gently takes a seat across from you. It's clear from his countenance that today's revelation sits uncomfortably with him. His soft words break the silence, a hint of desperate hope shining through. 'I've kept secrets from you, but not out of malice. I believe we're on the brink of something extraordinary.' The room is bathed in the warm light of the fireplace, casting shadows on the walls, symbolizing the hidden depths of his soul.
