A Symphony of Starlight

Previously

…Elara followed her grandmother’s gaze, her own eyes wide with wonder and a dawning sense of purpose. The blight had silenced so much, but perhaps, just perhaps, it hadn't silenced everything. The faint hum grew stronger, and the shimmer seemed to pulse with a gentle rhythm, a heartbeat of light in the deepening twilight. Elara felt a tremor of anticipation, a feeling that her journey, the search for the Starlight Grove and the melody that would save them all, was about to begin. The fading melody of her grandmother’s life was a lament, but this new, ethereal song, faint as it was, promised a symphony of hope.
