The Melody of the Lost
In the shadow of the Great Mist, where the cliffs of Eldren met the endless sea, there was a village called Lyrsong. It was said that the air itself hummed with forgotten tunes, melodies that clung to the wind like memories too stubborn to fade. The villagers, simple folk who wove nets and carved driftwood, spoke of the Lost Ones—ancestors who vanished centuries ago, leaving behind only their songs. These songs were not mere music; they were fragments of a world that no longer existed, a world of starlit towers and rivers that glowed under moonlight.

Broken Promises
The old oak table in the dining room creaked under the weight of memories as the Carter siblings gathered for the first time since their father’s funeral. At 42, Elise, the eldest, traced a scratch on the wood—her initials, carved at eight, when Dad promised to build her a treehouse. He never did. Across from her, Marcus, 38, clutched a whiskey glass, his jaw tight. Beside him, Sophie, 35, stared at a faded photo of their father, Henry Carter, his smile as hollow as his words.
