Twilight draped the rooftops in hues of deep violet and silver as Nyssa Arden walked the narrow streets with a sense of purpose she could not yet explain. Her cloak, black as midnight, trailed over damp cobblestones, leaving dark streaks in its wake. In her hand she held a small pendant, an intricately carved silver heart, warm to the touch, humming faintly as if it held a heartbeat of its own. The pendant had appeared weeks ago, seemingly from nowhere, yet it called to her incessantly, whispering in a voice only she could…

The city of Eldoria had always been a place where shadows whispered secrets and moonlight lingered longer than it should. In the heart of the ancient district, beneath the labyrinth of narrow cobbled streets and flickering lanterns, Liora Vale walked alone.

She wrapped her shawl tighter around her shoulders and clutched a small silver ring, a gift she could not yet explain, which had appeared on her dresser the night before, glowing faintly under the candlelight.

The rain had fallen for seven straight nights across the quiet valley of Rellion. The village lanterns flickered like faint memories beneath the saturated air.

In the quiet valley of Lumeria a place wrapped in silver mist and ancient secrets there lived a young woman named Arlena who spent her days tending to the old observatory that her ancestors had guarded for generations. The observatory rested upon a moon shaped cliff surrounded by forests that shimmered under even the faintest touch of night.
