The Elder's words resonated with me as I stood at the mouth of the canyon, an important notice of the great changes sweeping through our worlds.
Their weight felt like an oppressive force pressing down, a mix of trepidation and exhilaration enveloping me as I realized I was standing on the brink of something transformative—something that transcended my understanding of reality.
Behind me, the twins, showing both curiosity and concern, unfortunately couldn't accompany me, and I ended up leaving them with the Elder. Their wide, trusting eyes shimmered with anticipation of the tale I would carry back, and I could almost hear their silent cheers as I took my first steps towards the unknown.
