Once, in the shadowed corridors of the mind beneath vast oceans, an awakening drew the currents around its path. In these depths lay memories—the twist of tide woven memories shimmering like sunlit mirages. Alice wandered through, her heart set on unveiling the latent illusions, mirrored within the ocean's embrace.
As her voyage continued, she encountered the Echo—fragments of thought cascading like the sweetest tyranny of time. Whispers reverberated around her, whispering forgotten sonnets etched from the sands of eternity. A luminescent path appeared, guiding her deeper into realms of dream and delusion.
With every stroke and every breath, the grotto’s boundaries embraced her past, present, and the sewn seams that connected the two. "Here lies the heart," she pondered, "not in flesh nor bone, but in the abyss that sees beyond itself."
Diving deeper still, she discovered a garden of anemone blooms, where cobalt tentacles brushed against the flotsam of antiquated reality. Isolated atop this monochrome crevice was an Illusion Orb—seeing itself within itself, endlessly reflecting the unknown truths it dared not reveal but spoke through mirrored whispers.
