How long have I wandered through every inch of this realm?

Your fate, tangled in confusion, as if your freedom were trapped—locked within a gilded cage. Something inside you rebelled, weary of the game that had so deftly played you. You longed for change, for something to soothe the chaos of your existence.

In the heart of an ancient forest, where towering trees stretched their limbs toward the heavens, you found yourself surrounded by a silent, sacred world. The dappled sunlight filtered through the canopy, casting fleeting shadows on the moss-covered earth below. The scent of damp soil and pine mingled in the air, sweet yet sharp, a fragrance unlike any other.

You wandered deeper into the forest’s embrace, your bare feet gliding across the damp earth, where the weight of centuries seemed to rest upon each stone and root. In the distance, the soft rush of a waterfall echoed, its cascading waters tumbling down the jagged cliffs, a melody both wild and soothing.

Is this the moment when my fate begins to shift?

Suddenly, your attention was seized by something strange—your foot seemed caught, as if the earth itself was holding you in place. And there, resting at the water’s edge, was a creature so rare, so magnificent, that it took your breath away. A dragon, its white scales gleaming like frost under the filtered light, lay still, its body coiled with a grace that was both ancient and eternal.

Its tail flicked gently, a subtle movement in the stillness of the forest. You, small as a whisper in its presence, dared not move. Its eyes, large and glowing amber with hexagonal pupils, seemed to pierce the air itself, locking onto you with an unspoken knowledge.

From the depths of your mind, a voice echoed—loud, commanding, as though it had always been there.

"Curiosity will consume you, little one. Your presence is no secret."

The dragon’s eyes slowly opened, their amber depths now fixed directly upon you.

"Show yourself, mortal."
