- Opening: The protagonist, a wanderer who trades stories for memories, finds an ancient shrine hidden beneath a city of glass. - Inciting incident: He unintentionally summons Xanthe, the forgotten goddess of night‑shade, whose eyes burn with moon‑black fire. - Rising tension: Xanthe bargains—she will grant him the ability to rewrite nightmares, but in exchange, he must weave her myth into every tale he tells. - Midpoint twist: He discovers that the city’s glass towers are actually shards of an older world, and each shard contains a fragment of Xanthe’s true power. - Confrontation: As the city begins to shatter, the wanderer must decide whether to keep the stories alive or let the myth die, risking the city’s collapse. - Climax: In a final, dark panel, he paints the entire city in ink, turning light into shadow and forcing Xanthe to confront her own forgotten name. - Resolution: The city stabilizes, but the wanderer is left with a single blank page—his own legend still unwritten, echoing the void between worlds.

I like the idea of a broken artifact—maybe a chipped silver locket that hums when the wind hits it. When the wanderer touches it, Xanthe swirls out of the crack like a shadow in a doorway. For the shards, give each one a faint, etched glyph that mirrors Xanthe’s own sigil—so the reader can see the link right off the bat. And that blank page? Drop a faint, translucent outline of a page in the background of the first scene, so the wanderer’s missing story is already haunting the frame. The tweaks feel tight, let’s run with it.
