With a sudden gust that snuffs out the candles, the boundary between his world and the one he's conjuring weakens, the humming from his dreams filling the room, resonating with the rhythm of his heartbeat. Rising to peer out into the tempest, Ethan is enveloped by the song of Elysara, a melody that weaves through the air, tangible and mesmerizing.
