Once upon a time…

You find yourself standing on the rocky shore, the wind howling like a wild beast. Your heart aches for the warmth of the hearth, the laughter of kin. But duty calls you far from home, to the guild where iron and fire dance like old friends.

Your journey takes you across jagged peaks, where ravens weave tales of their own. You clutch your cloak tight, feeling the weight of your longing for the comfort you left behind. Days pass, blurring like the mist that clings to the mountains.

Finally, you reach the hall of the guild, its forge a bright flame against the encroaching dark. The sound of steel on steel is a song you know well, but it does not fill the void inside. The guild welcomes you, yet your heart remains tethered to the place you yearn for.

As time flows like the river, you forge your path and steel. But the day comes when you return, your journey complete. The embrace of home is sweet, and the longing fades, leaving only the warmth of the hearth, and the laughter of kin.
