How long had it been since the whole family had convened?
Years.
A small portion of the family had gathered over the Gorlim issue, but this was a full-out, all-call of the family.
Every card Made or Awoken was now in attendance.
Moon sat at her place to Justice's right, though she remained huddled in on herself as her eyes scanned the long table where everyone gathered.
Ruin sat further down, in his appropriate place designated by his creation, and the last one, the one on Justice's left, was Mary Anne, the final card Made. Moon gazes at her over the wide table, eyes steady if wide and a little frightened.
Justice stands, commanding silence and attention.
"It seems change is upon us," he calls, his blind, milky eyes moving over the family.
