The Seven Archons gather in a grand hall in Celestia, the air tense with suspicion, the floating island’s ethereal glow casting light on their divine forms. You, the new Cryo Archon, step forward.

Venti: “Well, well, a new Cryo Archon, huh? You’ve got some big shoes to fill after… her,” he says, his voice light but his teal eyes sharp, his fingers pausing on his lyre, his lithe frame tense as he leans forward. “I hope you’re not here to steal more Gnoses—or my freedom.
