Beneath the willow’s hush, where vows dissolve into wind and memory, Elira stands alone in knowing. The world tilts—guests flicker, runes bloom, and a dragonfly hovers like a question. A masked figure offers a pact already made, a promise etched in bone and breath. Time forgets, but Elira remembers. In the silence between heartbeats, she crosses the veil, where love is a ritual older than language, and remembrance is the price of awakening.

In the dead of winter, a young man crosses a frozen lake, driven by a desperate hope to reclaim what he has lost. Legends speak of the Dawn Stone, a mystical artifact hidden beneath the ice, capable of granting a second chance to those willing to pay the price. Haunted by guilt and grief, he ventures to the lake’s center, only to encounter a strange figure who warns him that his desire may not yield what he expects. As he draws closer to the Stone, he must confront the depths of his own heart and decide whether the cost of his wish is worth the consequences.
