Mara awoke to the faint glow of dawn filtering through the half-open shutters and smiled, remembering the dream she had just escaped, a dream of distant stars whispering secrets of a forgotten world where rivers ran with silver luminescence and trees sang lullabies to travelers who dared to listen; she rose from her narrow cot, careful not to wake the others in the cramped attic chamber, and slipped into her worn leather boots before descending the creaking stairs, each step echoing like a cautious plea to the silent house; outside, the morning air was cool and tinged with the scent of dew-kissed roses, yet something in the soft clamor of the waking village felt different, charged with an urgency she could not name, until her eyes fell upon the strange marking carved into the old stone well in the square, a rune she recognized from the pages of her grandmother’s stories, telling of a hidden gateway and a promise that the world would shift when a child of sunrise found the mark at first light; Mara felt her heart drum with both excitement and fear, knowing that today would be the day her life changed forever.
