Deep within the caverns of the ancients, a group of initiates gathered under the flickering torchlight. The cavern was adorned with glyphs, worn by time yet vibrant with significance. It was here that the secret cipher of the Ancients had to be deciphered, a rite of passage for those wishing to commune with the spirits of time.
The head of the initiate line, Varuni, stepped forward, carefully examining the stone plinth carved with runes. The air was thick with anticipation as she traced the symbols with her fingers, her eyes closing as if to shut out the visible world and embrace the unseen.

Interpretation request: Decipher the truth hidden within this enigma.
The elders had crafted this particular mystery long ago, embedding layers of meaning within each glyph, challenging every initiate to go beyond mere perception. Varuni recalled the teachings of Elder Kadris, who said, "To unlock what is hidden, you must first unlock yourself."
As she chanted the incantation, the air shimmered, and the symbols began to rearrange themselves, revealing a path known only to those who had walked the realms of the forgotten shadows. The figure before her, shrouded in a cloak of starlit mist, gestured for her to continue.
Would she be the one to understand the cipher and its lost truths? Or would she, like so many before, dissolve into the tapestry of forgotten memories? Only time itself, bound not by the linear constraints of the present but by the spirals of infinity, held that answer.
