Today we're in Italy attending a 17th century gender reveal party, as seven sons demand their mother produce a sister for them. The gender reveal goes sideways of course, and the sons leave in a sisterless rage. When they get turned into seven doves, only one person can save them: the sister they didn't know they had. The Mother of Time can reverse the curse, but that'll be a whole thing involving whales and apes and a cloak made of names. Join us for a lightly spooky tale of dust and ruins!
