She needed no compass nor map, for the invisible map laid out by shadows and sunlight was etched into her bones. The breeze whispered forgotten oaths and promises, brushing through her hair as it carried the echoes of distant spheres.
Landmarks shimmered in and out of perception. An ancient castle, crumbling into wisps of dream, stood sentinel over the rolling dunes. It was here that the glories of drifting were cataloged, their essence captured within walls that breathed like the tides.

Would she heed the lure of the flame, or allow the breeze to weave its story through her steps, guiding her towards the luminescent symphonies hidden within the folds of night?
