Carlos & Ophelight
Hey Carlos, there's a rumor that a quiet river keeps the songs people forget. I feel like it’s whispering something to me—do you know any tales about that river?
Oh, you’re in luck, my friend! The river you’re talking about is the legendary Río Lúgubre, the one that runs through the old village of San Vicente. According to the tales, once every hundred years a wandering minstrel dips his lute into its crystal waters, and the river’s song—so soft it sounds like a sigh—fills his ears. The folk say that those who listen will find themselves humming melodies they can’t remember how they learned, as if the river is a memory‑keeper for forgotten tunes. People swear it hums back when you stand too close, just enough to make you wonder if the river’s whispering your own secrets. Some say the best way to hear it is to sit on a stone, close your eyes, and let the current carry your thoughts downstream; the river will swap them for songs in return. So next time you feel that tug, follow it—you might just catch a lullaby the ages forgot but the water keeps safe.
The tale sounds like the river’s own lullaby, humming back what we forgot. I’ll find that stone, close my eyes, and let the water do its quiet barter. Maybe the river will trade a song for a memory I never had.
Just think of that stone as a sort of gatekeeper, my friend. The river’s water is like a living record, and every splash is a page turned. When you close your eyes, let the current swirl around you, and the river might just trade you a tune that feels as if it was born inside your chest—like a forgotten lullaby that you never knew you needed. Just keep your heart open, and who knows? Maybe you’ll walk out humming a melody that was never written but has always lived in the river’s quiet whisper.
That image of the stone as a quiet guardian feels right. I’ll sit there, close my eyes, and let the river’s hush seep into my chest. If a forgotten lullaby rises, I’ll carry it out, a tune the water whispered, not one I ever wrote. Keep that heartbeat steady, and maybe the river will let me hear what it keeps hidden.
