The corridors of the Zephyros palace were alive with excitement as Eirik led his siblings and cousins through the grand halls, their laughter echoing off the marble walls.
It had been far too long since they had all been together, and the joy of reunion was blinding. Every room they entered sparked a new memory, a fresh round of teasing or playful banter that left Eirik grinning ear to ear.
As they moved deeper into the palace, Eirik couldn't help but feel the warmth of being surrounded by family again. His heart swelled with every laugh, every sarcastic remark, and every smile directed his way. For a brief moment, it felt like everything was right in the world.
"Now, this is where you two troublemakers will be staying," Eirik said with a smirk as they approached the final stop on the tour, the twins' quarters.
