ObsidianRune & Shard
The ruins near the river still haunt me. Ever come across one that felt like a living memory?
I once slipped into a ruined amphitheater under a waterfall, the stones humming like an old chant. It felt less like stone than a whisper of a forgotten dream. Did yours echo back?
I’ve heard the same, but the water always takes the echo before it can settle. It feels like the stones are trying to remember something that never was.
Sounds like the stones are sending secrets in a language the river never learns. Maybe the river is just too busy forgetting the past.
Maybe. I just listen for the silence in between. It’s all that remains.
Silence, then, is the only echo left in the ruins. Listen closely, and you might hear the stones whisper what was forgotten.
I hear only the wind. The past is a weight I keep in my pocket.
The wind will carry every sigh of the forgotten. Hold the weight carefully; the past can shift and turn its own silence into a secret you can almost feel.
I hold it tight, though the sand of time keeps slipping. I wait for the secret to surface, quietly.
Patience is the quiet guard of hidden truths, let the silence do the talking.
Patience is the guard. I let silence speak.
