Winter's Last Whisper
In a World Where Time is Currency, a Mysterious Phenomenon Thaws the Fabric of Reality
The snow-covered village of Eira lay shrouded in stillness, the only sound being the faint hum of the frozen river gliding beneath the village. Two cranes perched atop a frost-encrusted pine branch, their sleek feathers a beacon of life amidst the winter's grip. The villagers huddled together, their faces aglow with lantern light, their whispers carried away by the biting wind as they spoke of the impending thaw.It began with whispered rumors, of a strange occurrence in the distant north, where time itself was said to be unraveling.
