The heights, bruised and seething in their own wild clamor, do not merely rise; they envelop, they erupt —a cacophony of desire, an imploding promise where the world shatters and reshapes, like the slow, wrenching agony of a dream unwilling to yield its secrets. There, amid that stifling air, lies the salamandrine lyre, gleaming with a violent tenderness, strings trembling as though they remember the tremors of ancient fires, as though they wish to tear themselves free of their delicate tether, to uncoil their tones in whispered revolt.
Beneath, the river, an unraveling thread of time itself, twists with a languid, almost lecherous grace, its waters not merely flowing, but becoming — becoming everything and nothing in the same exhale. It is a creature with no name but a thousand faces, a shifting and eternal riddle that hums a tune of melancholy wit to those foolish enough to listen. Its laughter—if one can call it such—is not the joy of jest but the dark, undulating murmur of a thing that has seen every possible fate and wears them all with indifference.
And yet, there is light in this darkness. Not the sharp glare of dawn, no, but the soft, dim glow of something forgotten, something that once mattered. It flickers. It teases with its tantalizing elusiveness, casting a pallid glow on the figures who have come too close to the truth but never quite touched it. It beckons, and the river swells, carrying with it nothing but the sound of a distant sigh — a sigh that reverberates in the dark recesses of the heart, and the heart alone.
