Elara Lowe's eyes were wide with wonder, taking in the world around her. Every sound was a symphony, every touch an adventure. She loved to gaze at the swirling patterns of light on the ceiling, weaving stories about fantastical creatures and faraway lands. A gurgle of delight would escape her lips whenever her older brother, Lachlan, made silly faces or when her sisters, Fawn, Iona, and Mira, cooed back at her with gentle smiles. Even though she couldn't yet speak, Elara already knew the world was a place full of magic and kindness waiting to be discovered.
