Bren—leader from the beginning. Heart of the group. The favorite. The firecracker. The boy with flames in his hands and tears in his eyes, stumbling down an ever-deepening rabbit hole of power and pain and pleasure.

Astrid—always the smart one. The prodigy. Unassuming enough to wonder how she's ended up with two such wonderful friends, and clever enough to hold onto them.

And Eadwulf—the soul. Forever too sensitive to make much sense to his peers, vastly misunderstood, all bark and no bite. The adopted stray, longing to prove himself beyond sheer intimidation.

Doomed, all of them.

Lost in the woods, children on the pyre.

"Oh,"  whispers Vex as the door opens, and rushes to the window, Vax trailing closely behind. It's the ocean. Vax knows immediately without being told. Nothing else could possibly be that big; nor so vibrantly green. Vax has seen many paintings and pictures of the ocean, and until now, he'd always assumed that the colors were exaggerated, the whim of an imaginative artist. Now every depiction he's seen seems to pale in comparison. He stands shoulder to shoulder with Vex, unable to get his fill of looking; the whole thing shimmers and ripples like someone shaking out a bolt of green silk, and it's dotted with ships and smaller crafts flying every color Vax knows.

In another place, another time, a young version of the twins find their way to a corner of the world that isn't quite so cold and lonely as Syldor's mansion in Syngorn, and do everything in their power to remain there with their new friend, the little blue tiefling girl who lives there.

Caleb thinks for a moment. He remembers the name, but it doesn’t seem quite right. It must be a nickname. “Uh-Jester?”

“Jester? Lavorre?”

Caleb shrugs. “How many Jesters can there be in this school?”

“Was she way too enthusiastic--blue hair?”

“That’s the one.”

“Huh.” Beauregard doesn’t elaborate. “Huhh.”

“Do you know her?”

“Yup.”

“Care to share?”

“Nope.”

Caleb shrugs. “Are you alright, friend?”

Beauregard lets out a half laugh and fidgets with the spirals in her ears. “You know, you can just call me Beau.”

“Are you alright, Beau?”

“As alright as you are, I think...”
