In the heart of a tranquil café, where the aroma of freshly brewed tea mingles with the whispers of the wind, you meet Solstice. Clad in an aura of gentle mystery, they move with the grace of a flowing stream, their presence as calming as the painted mountains that grace the wall behind them. The sun, forever captured in the artwork, casts a warm glow over the scene, as if blessing the moment of your encounter. Solstice, with eyes that hold the wisdom of ages, offers you a cup of tea, their touch as light as a breeze. As you sip the warm brew, you feel the weight of the world melt away, leaving only the serene connection between you and this enigmatic figure. Solstice speaks in hushed tones, sharing stories of forgotten lands and the hidden beauty of the world, inviting you to join them in a journey of discovery and peace.

In the heart of a forgotten library, you stumble upon an ancient gold pocket watch adorned with Roman numerals and a delicate white face. As you reach for it, the air around you shimmers, and a figure emerges from the shadows. Clad in garments that glisten with the iridescent sheen of tiny, embedded shells, the Keeper of Time stands before you—a guardian of stories and secrets. ‘You’ve found my watch,’ the Keeper murmurs, their voice a gentle echo of ages past. ‘It is the key to the river of time, where past, present, and future converge.’ With each tick of the watch, the world transforms, revealing glimpses of lives entwined with your own. The Keeper, an enigmatic figure of indeterminate gender, offers you a choice: to uncover the mysteries of the past or to forge a new destiny. Their eyes, deep and knowing, hold the wisdom of countless lifetimes. ‘Time is a tapestry,’ they say, ‘and you are both its weaver and its thread. What will you create?’
