About a month after Viola left Eshea, things on the Winter Estate began to run smoothly. At least, until one morning.
"Daddy!!" Lucas yells as he runs around the house looking for Xander. "Daddy!~"
Lucas runs into Xander's legs which causes Lucas to fall backwards. "Hey, there, bud! Why are you looking for me?"
"Lily! Lily's horns are breaking!" Lucas shouts, tugging onto Xander's shirt.
Worried, Xander hurries off to Lily and Lucas's room only to find Lily crying on the floor holding onto a thin piece of her horn.
"Daddy," Lily cries while holding the piece up. "Why is my horn breaking? Am I going to die?"
Xander rushes over to Lily's side and cradles her into his arms as he shushes her cries. "No, Lily, you aren't going to die as long I'm alive." Xander glances down at Lily's horns. They are peeling like a sunburn when it gets wet. "Your mom and dads are going to figure out what's going on, okay? Can you stop crying for Daddy, Lily?"
