Infos

Beneath a twilight sky where bioluminescent flora paints the world in an ethereal glow, a mute poet named Kala embarks on a transformative pilgrimage.  Born nameless, their soul feels fractured, a shattered mirror reflecting glimpses of a wholeness they can't grasp.  The Marakava ritual whispers of mending these fragments, of revealing the name echoing in the silent chambers of their heart. But this ancient rite is more than a personal quest. The Quequari Basin, a realm of vibrant life and ancient secrets, teeters on the brink of dissolution, threatened by a being of pure, consuming unity.
Guided by the village elder, Kala ingests the pulsating Marakava Bloom, and their world explodes into a symphony of living colors.  Emotions take tangible form - grief a chilling wind, joy a burst of incandescent butterflies.  From a newly revealed abyss, a haunting melody beckons, promising solace and a terrifying oblivion.  Azureth, a being of pure color, emerges as Kala's guide, revealing the true nature of their journey.  The abyss's song is not a lullaby, but a harbinger of an ancient entity's awakening, threatening to erase all individuality.
Within the Infinite Prism Desert, Kala witnesses fragmented memories - a loving embrace, a whispered lullaby, the sting of betrayal.  In the Veil of Silent Chords, they encounter others seduced by the abyss, their stories a chilling warning of the cost of unity.  A disillusioned cartographer frantically maps the ever-shifting realms, while a former musician, having traded his voice for perfect harmony, now hums a dissonant tune. These encounters force Kala to confront the seductive nature of surrender.
As Kala journeys deeper, the forgotten city of Aethelgard emerges from the mists of memory, revealing the truth of their muteness - a sacrifice made to protect the Quequari Basin.  Their name, a phantom whisper at the edge of consciousness, resurfaces - Lysander.
At the heart of the abyss, bathed in blinding light and deafening silence, Lysander confronts the entity, a distorted reflection of their own yearning for wholeness.  The choice is agonizing: embrace unity and lose themselves forever, or fight for the fragmented beauty of their individual existence.
Drawing strength from their fragmented past and present, Lysander chooses to fight. Their muteness becomes a weapon, a silent poem woven with gestures, colors, and emotions.  Their dance of defiance disrupts the abyss's song, inspiring others to resist its allure.  The entity, weakened and exposed, whispers Lysander's forgotten name one last time, triggering a flood of memories that reveal the true purpose of their sacrifice.
Empowered, Lysander's dance intensifies, their silent poem reaching a crescendo that shatters the entity's power. The abyss closes, and the Quequari Basin is restored to its vibrant, fragmented beauty.  Lysander, name reclaimed and soul whole, stands at the heart of it all, a testament to the enduring power of individuality in a world that constantly strives for unity. Their silence is not a limitation, but a canvas for a story more powerful than words.
