Story
🎵 The Singing Mirror
High in the mountains of Arzulea, where the wind speaks in forgotten tongues and the trees whisper secrets of ages past, there existed a relic that no wise man dared name without shuddering: the Singing Mirror.
It was no ordinary mirror. Its surface reflected not faces, but melodies. Whoever approached it did not see their image, but heard a unique song, composed instantly by the mirror's soul. Each note revealed a hidden truth: a buried memory, a lie told, a wish never confessed.

🌑 The Legend of Laira
Laira, a young troubadour from the underground city of Eltur, had heard of the mirror in her grandmother's songs, who said it was forged by the gods of sound and silence. It was said that the mirror sang only once per person, and that its song could heal or destroy.
Driven by a night vision in which her voice broke before a black moon, Laira set out on her journey. She climbed impossible cliffs, crossed rivers that sang in water dialects, and finally reached the mirror's sanctuary: a crystal cavern suspended in the air by tree roots that never touched the ground.

🎶 The Mirror's Song
As she drew closer, the mirror began to vibrate. It emitted not light, but chords. The melody that emerged was a sweet lament, as if the mirror were crying for her. In each measure, Laira heard fragments of her life: her mentor's betrayal, the love she never confessed to her friend Kael, and the fear that had made her flee her destiny as Keeper of the Echoes.
But then, the music changed. It became ascending, luminous, as if the mirror were showing her not only what had been, but what could be. In a final chord, the mirror sang its true name: “Laira of the Seven Timbres, Voice of Rebirth.”

🌠 The Awakening
As the song ended, the mirror shattered into a thousand fragments that floated like stars. Each one embedded itself in the air, forming a constellation that only the singers could see. Laira descended from the mountain with a new voice: one that could reveal truths through song, as the mirror did.
