Ryy: The Whispering Sands

Previously

…Ryy stood, her legs feeling unsteady but resolute. She looked back at the crumbling stones, at the silent witnesses of a forgotten pact. The whispers had led her here, to this place of echoes and sorrow. Now, they urged her onward, towards a destiny she was only beginning to comprehend. The journey had been perilous, but this was only the beginning. The true test, she knew, lay not in finding the ruins, but in understanding what they demanded of her. The desert’s memory was a heavy one, and she was its sole inheritor. She turned, the obsidian shard a cool weight in her palm, and began to walk, the whispers of the past guiding her toward an uncertain future.
