One night remains.
The final seal trembles.
When dawn arrives, the waiting ends.
May your courage outlast whatever answers the call.

Two days.
The sea no longer sleeps.
Ancient voices gather in the dark,
speaking of a dawn never meant for mortal eyes.
The path is remembered.
Only the journey remains.

The veil grows thin.
The stars begin to tremble.
Even the darkness holds its breath.
Three days to go.

08/03/2026

Four days remain.
The silence listens…and waits.
Lumbering through the thickening fog,
the old bells echo mournfully,
awaking that which was never truly asleep.
