"Family is the root from which all power grows, the strength that holds the branches steady, even in the fiercest storm. Magic, like blood, flows through us, binding us in ways that transcend the physical world. It's a force we inherit, passed down from those who came before, and it is a force we must protect with every breath. Because the magic we carry is not ours alone—it belongs to every soul that came before us, and every one that will come after. It's the legacy of love, sacrifice, and the promise that, no matter how dark the night, there will always be someone to light the way."
