She opened it carefully and turned the pages with a brittle whisper before pausing. She handed it to me so I could see. It was a portrait, meticulously painted by hand. A girl with silver-blonde hair down to her hips and eyes the same molten gold I’d seen in my vision. Her expression was fierce, but there was a tinge of pain around her mouth and eyes.
