The sun is fully set again. The sunlight outside the Haven is a reminder that another day has come. A gentle but firm knock echoed from the other side of the door, pulling Livia from her deep thoughts.
She had just finished brushing out her hair and was about to sit by the window again when the sound came.
"Livia," Florita's familiar voice called softly. "May I come in?"
"Of course," Livia answered, her brows furrowing slightly.
The door opened with a quiet creak, and Florita stepped inside, her usual warm smile gracing her lips — though today, there was something different in her eyes. Something heavier.
"The Elders are summoning you to the Great Hall," she said gently. "They wish to speak with you. It's… important."
Livia blinked, a flicker of confusion crossing her features. "Important? About what?"
Florita only smiled a little wider, though she didn't answer directly. "You'll find out soon enough. Come — they're waiting."
