Story
CYPRESS ANCIENTSONG
Am Rande des Abgrunds stand CYPRESS ANCIENTSONG, Elder and Council Advisor, ein Kind von Sylvan Elves, getragen von Schicksal und Geheimnis.
CYPRESS war nicht wie die anderen. Nicht besser, nicht schlechter - nur anders. Eine Melodie in einer anderen Tonart. Ein Farbton, den nur wenige sehen konnten.
Das Leben hatte CYPRESS geformt, wie es alle formt - durch Freude und Schmerz, durch Hoffnung und Verzweiflung, durch die tausend kleinen Momente, die ein Leben ausmachen.
Aber da war etwas in CYPRESS. Etwas, das sich weigerte, sich fügen zu wollen. Eine Stimme, die flüsterte, wenn alle anderen schwiegen. Ein Licht, das brannte, wenn die Welt dunkel wurde.
Cypress knows the location of a powerful artifact hidden before the isolation began, but can’t remember the details clearly.. Das war die Last, die CYPRESS trug. Nicht schwer genug, um zu brechen. Aber schwer genug, um zu spüren. Immer da. Immer gegenwärtig.
Die anderen in Sylvan Elves sahen es manchmal. In den Augen, die zu weit blickten. In den Händen, die zitterten. In der Stille zwischen den Worten.
Aber sie fragten nicht. Denn so war die Art ihrer Welt. Jeder trug seine Last. Jeder seine Geheimnisse. Jeder seine ungeschriebene Geschichte.
Und CYPRESS? CYPRESS ging weiter. Tag für Tag. Durch die Labyrinthe von Sylvan Elves, durch die verschlungenen Pfade von Macht und Pflicht und Überleben.
Wartend. Hoffend. Träumend von dem Tag, an dem das Geheimnis gelüftet würde - oder für immer begraben bleiben würde.
