Collège de St. Cyr

Serpens Hall

Moon in Gemini - Waxing Gibbous

How can anyone be so broken and destroyed at his age? I was full of hope and dreams at eighteen, when I first walked through these halls, breathing in all the knowledge hidden in the crevices of this place. There for me to take. I was innocent and eager, at his age; Alec is dark, tainted, a murderer.

My own child, a murderer. How the fuck did this happen?
