Stories are meant to be told, and some begin where others end.
In the quiet of the caverns, farewells are spoken, lessons are passed on, and even the smallest of tales can take root in unexpected ways.
Some stories are mischief, shouted too loudly. Others are softer, carried in memory, pressed between moments that will never be written. A few are darker still, full of loss, of questions and discovery. And some teach that strength is not always chosen, that the weight of a blade can change the hand that wields it.
But stories also belong to those who dare to leave them behind. To those who walk away not because they are forgotten, but because they choose to begin again.
And beyond the dark, another tale waits to be told, of mushrooms, magic, and maybe a touch of madness.
