The forest is a tapestry of silver and shadow under the full moon, each leaf and stone carved from the pale light. A cold wind whispers through the pines as Elio, sleepless and drawn by a sound he knows too well, follows a melody that weaves through the darkness like a promise. He crouches behind a thorny bush, watching the wizard who makes every prayer tremble. The man’s song fills the clearing, and Elio’s breath hitches. When the last note fades, the silence stretches, thick and waiting, for you to speak.
