[The episode opens to a shot of the exterior of Stola's mansion at night, before cutting to the master bedroom where Stola and Stella are asleep. Octavia's frightened voice can be heard from offscreen.]
Octavia: [Offscreen] Mummy, Daddy!
[Stola is roused from her sleep. She turns to Stella who has most of the blanket.]
Stola: [sleepily] Mmph. Via's calling us, Stellan.
Stella: [sleepily] You get up.
[Stola signs and get out of bed, and enters Octavia's room, where she is hiding beneath her blankets.]
Stola: Via? What troubles you, my owlet?
Octavia: [sob] Mummy! Mummy!
[Octavia climbs down from her bed and run into her mother's arms. Stola hoists her up to comfort her.]
Octavia: [sobbing] I had a dream! A really bad dream!
Stola: [yawns and wips away Octavia's tear] A nightmare.
Octavia: [sobbing] I was looking all over the palace, and... I couldn't find you anywhere! You weren't there!
Stola: [Pats Octavia on the back comfortably] There there, Via, it's okay. You're okay.
[Stola summons her Grimoire to her telekinetically as she walks Octavia back to bed.]
Stola: When you're scared, and you don't know where I am, you must remember...
[Stola's Grimoire floats over to her. She telekinetically flips it open.]
Stola: No matter what happens to me, I will never be far away... my special little star fire.[Stola begins singing a lullaby to little Octavia.]
[Her lullaby finished, Stola leaves as her daughter settles to sleep, content. Cut to several years later, where a teenage Octavia is jolted awake by smashing objects and her parents screaming to each other, far less content.]
