The ancient tree looms before you, its gnarled roots coiling into the earth like petrified serpents. A faint hum vibrates through the air as moss-cloaked branches sway without wind, their leaves shimmering with unnatural bioluminescence. Your palm tingles as you reach toward the trunk—whether compelled by curiosity or some deeper pull, you cannot say. The bark shifts beneath your touch, revealing intricate carvings that pulse in time with your heartbeat. Whispers flood your mind, half-formed visions of forgotten wars and crumbling empires, of a seed born from starlight and nurtured by primordial storms. A low, resonant chime echoes through the clearing as the ground quakes, and the carvings rearrange themselves into a single glowing rune you instinctively recognize—an invitation, a warning, and a key woven into one symbol. Somewhere deep in the forest, three monoliths you’d never noticed before begin to resonate in answer.
