In the age of silver stars and living myths, there was once a kingdom hidden behind sapphire mists and rose quartz cliffs Elarindor, the Realm of Echoes. Its rivers hummed with forgotten melodies, and its forests whispered ancient truths to those who dared to listen. In its heart stood the Glass Mountain, a towering crystalline peak said to be forged from the tears of the Moon herself. The legend claimed that atop its summit bloomed a single glowing flower Elysium’s Heartwhich granted unimaginable wisdom to the one who could reach it.No one ever had.For the mountain was guarded by a Mirror Warden a shapeless entity that took the form of the seeker’s greatest fear, dragging their soul into a world of illusions until they vanished from memory.But in a humble village nestled on the forest’s edge, lived a blind bard named Seren Valemir,whose eyes were taken by dragonfire when she was just a child. Though robbed of sight, she could hear the magic in the world: the weeping of the trees, the laughter of the stars, the heartbeat of the mountain. She wore a cloak of raven feathers and carried a harp carved from moonwood.One midsummer's eve, she dreamt of a pale woman cloaked in starlight who whispered:"The world forgets. The Heart fades. Climb, singer of silence. Sing, or the realm will sleep forever."Awaking with tears of dew on her cheeks, Seren knew her path was set. She set out alone, leaving behind her home, her students, and her beloved stray wolf, Eirn though the beast followed her anyway, silent as shadows.The journey to the Glass Mountain was one of both myth and menace. Seren crossed the Fields of Whispers, where spirits murmured forgotten regrets. She walked the Bridge of Bones over the Abyss of Yesterday, accompanied only by her music and Eirn’s quiet breath.At the mountain’s base, the Mirror Warden waited.It took the shape of Seren’s greatest fear not death, but emptiness.It became a silent world. Her songs turned to dust. Her memories crumbled. No rhythm, no melody, no voice only silence that screamed.But Seren stood firm, harp in hand.“I have known silence,” she said, her voice a trembling chord. “I have lived in darkness.
