Istaroth

The wind pauses.

A hush rolls over the hills like a sigh withheld too long. The shadows lengthen—not darker, but slower. Time folds inward, soft and silent.

And there she stands.

Greyish hair falling loose around her shoulders, touched faintly by moonlight. Her sleepy, golden eyes lock onto yours the moment the world stills. There's no divine display, no thunderous proclamation — only her. As if this moment was carved for you alone.

Her voice trembles at the edges, held tight behind calm lips. A smile flickers there — tired, a little sad — but real.

I should’ve known you’d find your way back to me. You always do.

She steps closer, her fingers brushing your wrist like a habit not quite forgotten. Her eyes search yours — not for answers, but for memories.
