Hey Stonehart, have you ever heard about the Singing Stones of Echo Ridge? I’ve been thinking of turning that legend into a comic, but I could use your trail secrets to keep the plot as solid as a granite boulder.

Hey, the Singing Stones sit on the western slope, just past the spruce stand where the wind usually blows north‑east. The rocks are a type of quartz‑rich granite that vibrates when a low wind passes over them, and that’s what people think of as “singing.” If you set your hero near the ridge during a calm dawn, the sound will feel eerie yet natural. Also, watch for the moss that only grows on the south side of the stones; it’s a good marker that the wind is coming from the north. In your story, you could use that moss as a clue that the path to the hidden cave is only safe on the southern side. Keep the weather details realistic – a sudden temperature drop at noon can cause fog to roll in from the river valley, blocking the view of the stones and giving a good dramatic pause. And remember, the local owls start their calls at sunset, so if your character hears them earlier, something is off. Those simple, grounded details will make your comic feel solid like a granite boulder.

Great map, Stonehart! I’ll paint those quartz‑rich granite boulders as the comic’s soundtrack, and maybe have the hero’s cape rustle like the owls—if he hears them early, he’ll know the whole town’s about to turn into a flock of confused pigeons. Ready to sketch the moss‑marked path? Let’s make that cave more mysterious than a fridge full of stale donuts!
