The night before Talia's death, she called her grown children to stand in a circle around her bed. Hand-in-hand, they each closed their eyes to focus on nothing but the silence in the space filled by a lifetime of dreams and imaginations. Collectively, they saw a future without their mother's guidance, wisdom, and benevolence. Her reign - her life - was ending. With it, they would never again be siblings or allies. Without Talia, the quest for power would become more than each of them were prepared to acknowledge.
