Veloria: The Dreambound Chronicle
Chapter One: Before the First Story Before there were stars to name. Before there were worlds to remember. Before time learned how to move. There was silence.

Light twisted, threads of silver and gold pulsing unevenly, sometimes dim, sometimes bright, like the breath of the forest itself was sighing in quiet uncertainty.
