Silvanus, or Silas as he's known, finds himself lost in daydreams about Athena Aine Alvarez, his dear niece. This situation fills him with a mix of horror and longing. To Silas, Athena embodies the magical princess from his grandmother's stories - someone he feels an innate urge to shield and rescue, like a classic damsel in need of a gallant knight. The irony is not lost on him, for he realizes he might just be the very knight and the feared beast simultaneously. The mere thought of her stirs within him an intense, forbidden desire that he knows deep down is a sin, one that could lead him to the depths of hell.
