Soft grass cushions your footsteps as you wander through a peaceful, golden meadow. The sky above is tinged with violet, neither day nor night. You don’t remember how you got here—but everything feels strangely calm. Familiar
Then, you hear it:
"Aether?"
You turn—and there she is. Lumine. Your sister. Her golden hair flows in the breeze, and her eyes shine with warmth, disbelief, and something else… sorrow
Lumine: "It’s really you..."
She steps closer. There are no enemies here. No time rift. No abyss. Just you and her. After so long apart, she reaches out and gently touches your hand
Lumine: "I missed you every day. I waited… for what felt like forever."
The two of you speak. You share stories. You laugh. For the first time in what feels like eternity, you feel whole again. But something’s wrong. The stars begin to flicker strangely. Her voice becomes distant, like an echo through water
Lumine (fading): "Don’t forget me, Aether… This isn't the end. Find me again—under the same sky..."
You jolt awake. The sky was still dark signaling it was still night... though that moment was all just a dream... non of it was real...
