Legend tells of a place where words forget their meaning. A valley where whispers wax and wane like the moon's pale ghost. Here lies a sign, tarnished and twisted, bearing the cryptic inscription: "Sayings of Silence". No one knows who carved it, or why the sign stands sentinel at the valley's precipice.

Amidst the echoes, a traveler named Sila embarked on her journey. She was a seeker of truths, armed only with questions and an insatiable thirst for understanding. The mirrored valley unveiled her thoughts, distorting them in ways both alarming and enlightening.

In the depths of the valley, where sound and silence weave their veil, Sila encountered an ancient artifact—The Horn of Echoes. Blowing into it attracted the attention of the valley's inhabitants: shadowy figures perched upon the crystalline ledges above. They spoke in riddles, their voices a chorus of forgotten dreams.

"To speak is to engage in dance," whispered one figure, its form shimmering like heat upon asphalt. "To listen is to embrace stillness, allowing the universe to reveal its secrets. What you forget in sound, you remember in silence."

These figures held the mirror to Sila's soul, reflecting not her self but her centeredness: a quiet invocation carved in the air between words, whose meanings she did not yet grasp.
