Hidden between tide-slashed cliffs and whispering pines, Kael found a cavern laced with salt spray, glowing mineral seams, and enough space for wings and wonder. He claimed it not as a lair of one—but as a refuge for all four hearts.
Why This Cave
Kael scouted for months, gliding along the coast at night to avoid watchful eyes. He needed shelter that could hold flame and tide, pastel feathers and aurora sparks, without exposing them to the wars that once stole his kin. The cave he discovered opened to the sea for Athena’s call of the deep, had stone shelves wide enough for Stellar’s wings, and vaulted chambers where Velvet’s lullabies could drift without echoing alarms.
“I chose this cave because it has room for every part of us. No shadows of the past—only space to breathe.”
Life Inside
Fire-smoothed stone near the entrance keeps warmth for night watch. Shadows here obey his command, ready to veil the family if danger nears.
A natural basin fed by the sea lets her slip underwater when she needs the song of the depths, and its glow lights the cavern softly.
An upper chamber with a narrow skylight where aurora flares harmlessly paint the ceiling, guiding them through moonless nights.
Mossy ledges and hanging cloths catch her pastel light, turning the cavern into a twilight cocoon where the others rest easily.
Guardianship
The cave is hidden from the sky by overlapping cliffs; from the sea by currents only Athena can read; from the land by Velvet’s muffled breezes. Stellar’s spectrum flames mark secret paths only the family knows. Kael keeps watch at dawn and dusk, his shadow clones patrolling while the others sleep. Together they turned stone and salt into a home worthy of their bond.
