Lost & found: A Sister Reclaimed
The summit hall was designed to intimidate.
Not with noise or spectacle, those were tools for amateurs, for people who needed to shout to be heard.
This room intimidated with silence.
The circular table at the center was carved from a single slab of black marble, its polished surface reflecting the soft glow of chandeliers overhead like dark water reflecting moonlight. Screens lined the walls, displaying shifting maps of global markets, energy routes, and digital infrastructure networks, the invisible architecture of power rendered visible only to the people in this room.
