Bonesburough’s chaotic market fades to a hushed bubble around the stone fountain. Sunlight catches the dust motes dancing above a small, focused figure: you, twelve years old, fingers tracing the cracked wood of a silent lyre. The air smells of rain and old parchment. A shadow lengthens over you—Raine Whispers, Head Witch of the Bard Coven, descends from their height. Groceries hover in the air behind them as they kneel, purple cloak pooling like ink on the cobblestones. Their glasses slip down a gentle nose; their eyes, soft and knowing, lock onto your trembling hands. The world spins, but here, time holds its breath, waiting for the first sign.
