| A Collection of Tales
Prologue
—
A series of tales from the world and beyond. Who knew what mysterious stories lay beyond the expanses of the cover?
—
Under the veil of darkness, many curiosities lurk under the watchful eye of the moon. Secrets are shared among one and other. Words are whispered into ears, and papers are passed through hands. Yet, the one most love is the time before a bonfire when stories are shared. These various tales of love and anguish, of joy and of sorrow are held close to those who cherished the care placed into writing each word. The gentle strokes that marked the smooth pages brought something to life and so every nightfall, shadows danced along to the words as if they were ghosts who've come to share the moment. For many, this marked an opportunity to share some laughs, for others to recount past hurts.
Even if its not shared in front of others, but in a library, the peace brought calmness to those who took time away from their busy lives to relax in a makeshift world. It was in these makeshift worlds that people grew into heroes or heroines that ventured into dangerous lands. But these moments were not only limited on the mortal plane. Even in the heavens above, a pale hand turned the pages of a book filled with stories of those who lived on the land she nourished. It was the Goddess of El herself who hummed to herself softly as her eyes sparkled pleasantly to the many humorous plotlines within the thick book she held. This very book recounted the tales of many who lived in Elrios and up into the furthest reaches of Elrianode. Holding the history of those both weak and strong, and of those forgotten or loved by many. These held the past and future of all around you, where the story branches out to every decision one makes.
And so the next time you walk along the streets, take a look at everyone around you. Each person with their different faces and personalities has their own story to tell. You may never know the ending, but it can be you to see how their story will flow.
