Nestled between a chilly bay breeze and a slumbering violet mountain laid a salt-soaked settlement I called home. One fateful evening, as the last light faded, an unearthly roar erupted from the lonesome mountain, which began to tremble as if awakened. A jagged mouth had formed from its peak and began to spill over down the mountain, descending towards the town with an indiscriminate hunger.
The townsfolk, now gripped by this racing nightmare hurriedly sought shelter, huddling near flickering flames as the sopping darkness consumed everything between sky, land, and sea. Amidst the chaos, a great winged beast emerged from icy depths, its powerful wings slashing the town, intensifying the terror. The clash between the mountain's sinister mouth and grave beast’s claws unleashed a relentless fury, leaving the inhabitants only remnants of existence amidst the dying of the light.
And yet, as dawn broke the following morning, a gentle glow began to illuminate the remains of the town, which began to dispel last night’s frigid embrace. The Sun began to rise and like a heartbeat, beat life back into this tattered realm, calming the raging wings of wind and ocean. The townsfolk, now bolstered by the warmth of the healing rays, began to reclaim their spirits and land. The mountain began to stand and transform back into the proud sentinel overlooking this weather-worn town.
I shall soon not forget that with every nightfall comes a sunrise.
Post this particular onslaught, a change of pace I felt was needed. For the storms in this region began to weigh heavy and wear on the mind. Inspired by a local legend and cartographer, known as Orion Alerion, I decided to seek the lands of Terres du Sud. A place where warmth radiated not from its land, but from the fiery hearts and souls of its people. After a tough but fair haggle, I procured a map and set course for a new unknown, wrapped with anticipation of what to come.
